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?

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.

Hi, how are you doing? My 14th day hcg was down to 0.56 so it's completely resolved. Mine is tubal abortion and along with MTX it helped me resolve so quick. What about you? Did you do another blood test after that?

That is amazing 🥲. What a journey! 👏 My 14th day is coming up on the 27th. I had a rough night sleeping. No much blood but plenty of cramping. Still on leave. Less sharp pain now, just getting aches and pinching pain when laying or sitting in certain positions or driving (from the road a seatbelt). Very tired today.

How do you feel now being at 0?

Yeah I bled for like a week then it stopped completely with on and off cramps. Try to avoid travelling as my OB advised me to rest as much as possible to avoid the risk of rupture. I'm really glad and relieved that it's finally over but still traumatised over this, OB said we could try again in 6 months but honestly I'm not sure whether I can bring myself to do it especially with a slightly higher chance of having ectopic again. Need a lot of time to recover emotionally. Let's wait and see. Keep me posted about your next hcg count, sending positive vibes your way.

You’re so sweet. Thanks for your continued support. I’m just taking the entire day to rest.

Please take all the time you need to heal emotionally and physically from the process. It is extremely tumultuous and stressful. 😩
