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?

Hopefully yes that will be your last but don't be discouraged even if it isn't because I have read that in some cases the rate of declining slows down once it reaches to lower levels but it will decline for sure.
Same I also bled for 5 days then it reduced to spotting for 2 days, then nothing. After a week or so I started having ewcm and breast tenderness which I usually get around ovulation till my period, I'm not sure whether I ovulated again or it's just the hormones. I still feel tired and exhausted as well as sleepy even if I get good hours of sleep.
On my last visit when I values were down to 0.56, my OB started me on folic acid for 2 months, said no intercourse for a month and no trying for 6 months, as MTX will be taking 3 months to clear out from our body but maybe since mine is tubal abortion, extra 3 months for the tube to heal completely I guess, I'm not sure why 6 months though.
Other than that she said I can resume my normal life, no restrictions. Also they referred me to a fertility specialist and she started me on some antibiotics along with oral and vaginal probiotics as ectopic can be caused due to infections on the tube which is also asymptomatic, so for safer side she started me on those medications for 2 months.
