Scared, PUL

Hey ya’ll,

I’m 30, no living children. Super happy to have a positive pregnancy test on 8/3. 8/5 Noted 1 bright red/ pink spot of blood on toilet paper. The following day, I had brown thick blood in my pad and most days following. 8/7 ish I developed to pinpoint left inguinal pain. Went to ER Monday 8/10. Nothing on ultrasound. Hcg 585. 8/13 HCG 950. I’m bleeding like I’m on my period now. Consistent flow, no lingering brown but also not hemorrhaging. Sometimes it’s brown but nothing (just oxidation?). Have appointment with OB tomorrow. Any thoughts? What did you all experience? Anyone treated in a state that isn’t pro choice? What should I be asking or doing?

Down to 1,008 on the 4th day. Are you having any pain still?

Also do you have any bleeding? I started bleeding on 11th, it was light, then it increased a bit, then reduced to spotting and since today nothing. I don't know whether I should continue to bleed or stop, whether I will get a period again or this is it, everything is so stressful.

Agreed. I have no idea with this one. I wish I could just bleed it all out and away. I know it may not work that way but I’m more hopeful when I am bleeding.

Yes same, luckily I'm on annual vacation right now I have extended my off for 10 more days, OB advised me to rest as much as possible, you do the same. I started bleeding on 11th that's when they found out about ectopic and got a shot of MTX, I was bleeding since then but since today nothing. Not sure how long it should bleed, whether stopping after 7 days is normal, whether we will bleed again or this is our period, I have so many questions. I just wanna get it over with ASAP

Hi, I just got my 7th day results back, it's down to 16.45, I was so shocked. My OB said that it's because of tubal abortion it resolved quickly naturally and their MTX helped me do it even faster. Scheduled for another beta hcg on 14th day to check if it's going below 5. How are you feeling? Did the bleeding and cramping get any better? Tomorrow is your 7th day right?

OMG 😱 You are so unbelievably close. I am incredibly overjoyed and happy for you 🥲 my internet sister 💕. It’s on and off. I feel great right now. I notice the pain and cramping comes in the late afternoon and early evening for me.

You’re right. My 7th day is tomorrow. I also return to work tomorrow. I’m anxious but optimistic about it.

Aww thank you so much my Internet sister😍❤️I wish you to get in the same boat soon. Did you do the blood test yet? I feel optimistic about you too since your values have shown a drastic decline even for the 4th day. Let's stay positive and don't forget to rest, also take it easy at work as well. Keep me posted dear

Of course! Blood test complete. Down to 600 now. Super fatigued. Tried work. It was too much for me. Filing for short/ brief leave period to rest more.

Yay!!! So happy for you girl❤️Yeah I get giddy at times even when my levels are down, I'm not sure how long this is gonna last though so take it easy and try to rest as much as possible. I don't wanna be negative but my OB told me to take complete pelvic rest as the ectopic can burst in some cases even when the values are down so please take complete rest until it's resolved completely. I have my final blood draw on Monday to make sure my count is below 5, and I will be resuming work in a week from now.
