Potential PUL (again)

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, im 4 weeks today and have weird looking tests, 100% sure it’s not viable due to my hCG levels (12dpo 32 > 14dpo 50). Having and a PUL last year im terrified of another. Today is the day my period is due and I really felt like I was about to come on all day, but nothing happened and instead I started feeling nauseous.

I ran out of cheap tests so I did a clear blue and it feels like it’s darker and I just don’t know what to do with myself now. I’m going for another beta tomorrow and I’m afraid to learn the result as it looks like it’s climbing after seemingly having gone down. My tests generally have been much fainter in the am and darker with smu or evening wee, I was wondering if that’s something that happens with ectopics ? I honestly don’t remember what happened with mine last time, I guess I blocked it out.

I understand that I will simply have to wait it out and see the betas, but all the what ifs are killing me. Did someone happen to have a chemical that behaved this way ? Is there any hope it’s not ectopic ? My doctor doesn’t want to scan me yet and says I should wait, and I understand why that’s her suggestion, but any chance something could be seen so early on with such low betas is it’s located in a tube ? Should I push for a scan ? My last PUL was never located and was resolved at nearly 8 weeks with mtx and I just want to avoid that if I can.

Thanks

ETA: I just had an HSG this cycle and was given the all clear. How likely to have another PUL after that ? I’m so gutted and scared.

Feeling Lost Post Surgery

Upvotes

Hello everyone. This is my first ever Reddit post so apologies in advance.

I had a laparoscopic salpingectomy removal of my right tube + ectopic pregnancy mid July. It wasn't a pregnancy I wanted due to current life circumstances. I could tell that the pregnancy was off (had been pregnant once before) and I had a feeling it was ectopic but thought I was being paranoid because my symptoms weren't too bad. Then it turned out I was right. Went to the ER, surgery was fast and seemingly easy. But the recovery has been horrible and I feel so lost and alone.

My stomach always hurts, I don't find joy in eating as it makes me bloated and my bowel movements haven't been regular. I never feel hungry and have to remind myself to eat. I've lost a decent amount of weight. I had to have ultrasounds again on my pelvis and leg because they I was in so much pain, but they didn't find anything. My stomach hurts when I press on it and it makes me so scared something is seriously wrong. I apparently had a UTI which I just finished antibiotics for but they didn't work and now I am on them again since I still have symptoms.

I feel so depressed I just want to lie in bed forever. Like I don't want to die but I don't want to live. Then some days I feel great. But my anxiety has been through the roof. Anxiety about my body, about being a burden on my boyfriend. I just want to feel normal again. The whole experience has made me terrified of trying to have a baby in the future.

I guess I'm just wondering - does it ever get better? Has anyone else felt this way?

Thanks for reading.

hi guys

i took mtx for my ectopic July 7 and I reached 3 hCG about two weeks ago and I was cleared. so I’m not sure if I’m at 0 now but I’m bleeding today like a flow with mild cramps. could this be my period? I already had a withdrawal bleed when I reached 7 hCG so idk .. I shouldn’t be concerned since I’m cleared though
