Ectopic resolving itself?
Ectopic resolving itself?
I was referred to the EPU 2 weeks ago after a positive pregnancy test and 2 weeks of bleeding which I had mistaken for my period. Bleeding has been on and off for a month now (still going). My HCG levels have been dropping slowly: 196, 145, 98, 25 and waiting to hear results today. They think they saw a very small mass on my left tube a week ago, but today they have not seen this. There is a small but persistent pocket of free fluid in the pouch of Douglas and I also have a small cyst in my left ovary. They think this was an ectopic which is resolving itself. However I feel worried and unsure whether to keep monitoring my HCG levels and having ultrasound scans privately for a few more weeks just to be on the safe side (they will discharge me if the HCG goes down to 0). Anyone has gone through similar experiences?
Can we be 100% that the pregnancy will resolve itself if HCG drops to 0? What happens to the fluid (possibly blood) in pouch of douglas? Can we trust it will disappear on its own? Thank you.

Re: Ectopic resolving itself?
I trust they know what they’re doing and private scans for me would’ve added to the anxiety.
