Re: Recovering after ectopic pregnancy

Dear Sony, Although I do not wish to alarm or upset you, if left, ectopic pregnancies can cause internal bleeding and this can be life threatening to mum. Sadly the pregnancy cannot be relocated to the womb and as it is not growing properly in the womb, would not continue to develop properly. When d...

Re: Expectant management

Dear foreverhopeful, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Expectant management does not have the side effects of methotrexate and isn't invasive like surgery but it sure does take it out of people waiting for those hCG levels to fall. People can feel in limbo and that their life is ...

Re: A cyst

Dear LTQKVS, I am sorry you are unable to get full answers, It is difficult to say it the cyst was the cause. If it was there and blocking the tube, It could easily stop the embryo on its journey, but I'm afraid I don't have a definitive answer for you. Sending much love, Karen x The Ectopic Pregnan...

Re: HCG levels?

Dear LaceAri, I am so sorry to hear of the worrying time you are going through, If scans are inconclusive, doctors would carry out a series of blood tests to check hCG levels to see if the numbers are rising as expected. However, in isolation, hCG tests only provide a part of the picture - declining...

Dear LTQKVS, I am sorry I cannot provide a personalised answer for this as I was treated with methotrexate. Although I do not wish to upset you, I am guessing if you have been told its tissue, It is not going to look like a foetus and it is extremely unlikely that you would be able to see a heart. W...
