Ectopic

I have an appointment tomorrow and I find out if my pregnancy is ectopic. I'm really hoping I'm just not as far along as what the clinic I went to originally thought. I'm not having any pain or bleeding, when I went for my us at 6 weeks there was a gestational sac but no baby and my hCG levels aren't going up like they should. Has anyone else gone through this before?

I found out I was pregnant at 4 from a er visit I had a cyst and they said I was "barley" pregnant. I was referred to a Dr did blood work and had ultrasounds done and was told I had a ectopic pregnancy Well over a 2 week period I had more blood work done my hcg levels stayed low and a few more ultrasounds and I got a call while I was at work saying I needed to have and emergency surgery I got to the hospital did more blood work and ultrasound and they found a sac a baby and a heartbeat Im 36 wks now and my lil man is developing like he should so dnt give up things change!

Good luck. I'm curious to know where they think the baby is if there is a sack in your uterus. Like I told you i had nothing in my uterus at all because it was growing in my tube. Have them check you good they can't force you to take the shot or have surgery until you want to but if its in your tube and it ruptures its life threatening if you don't get medical help right away. I was so heartbroken with mine, they gave me my surgery pics of my tube and I could see me babys head his face was staring to develop. I cried almost every night, I still do sometimes.I'm now 13 weeks pregnant. No matter what have faith.

Thanks! Yeah they told me this on Monday and I'm going in the morning to the OB I had with my son. I cried the whole way home from clinic and I've been stressed ever since so I'm ready to find out what's going on tomorrow!

same thing happened to me, levels not rising as much and couldn't see anything in u/s. went to hospital 4 days later for better u/s and I was 6 weeks with a baby and heartbeat. I was told my first visit I would either be eptopic or miscarry!
they are horrible about that I've read so many more stories like mine, I was a wreck for a whole week thinking there was no hope only for everything to be okay!
wait a few days or more or go to another clinic for u/s.

I had an ectopic last year.  Went to clinic and was told i was around 8 weeks. I was spotting with no cramping or pain and was told multiple times that as long as there was no pain it was normal. I had a gut feeling that something wasn't right went to the er had an ultrasound and was shocked to see there was nothing in my uterus not even a sac like you are able to see. My hcg results said that I was 2 to 3 weeks which didn't make sense to me. I got checked and it was confirmed the blood was coming from my cervix then the doc said that I probably already miscarried but i knew that wasn't it. I had to go back for a week to check my hcg and they went up but less than 100 each time. That is how it was confirmed that it was ectopic. Went back to er had vaginal ultrasound and baby was found on my left tube. Had the injection of methotrexate didn't work and had to get my tube removed just in time before my tube ruptured.

I recently had an ectopic in December... It was hard.  I didn't even know I was pregnant until my tube had ruptured and I was massively hemorrhaging internally and almost died...  I hope yours is not.  It's a sad thing to go through.

I don't know if it will be eptopic if there was a sack. Sometimes a sack forms but the baby doesn't. If it is eptopic symptoms may not show for a few weeks.. So sorry that this pregnancy wasn't successful. I lost a baby at 5 weeks and even though people say there was probably no baby or just cells, to me it was my first child who I'll always hold close.
