Little nightmares six hurts seven badly3/18/2024 Apparently the bleeding had made it stick to my bowel and intestine which stopped it bleeding too much, so I only lost 500mls of blood. I was rushed to theatre for emergency surgery, and my tube had ruptured. Finally a consultant scanned me and saw the ectopic straight away. I was in hospital for 4 days whilst I waited for a diagnosis, and my pain had pretty much gone away. It was inconclusive, but my hcg was 142, then 154 after 48 hrs, then 162 (apparently this is v low for an ectopic at 8 weeks). The pain suddenly worsened, and I had a sudden rush of very heavy bleeding. I requested a scan at my EPU which was refused. Then at 8 weeks pregnant I started to get a niggling pain on the left. I just knew something was wrong, I saw three different GPs who kept insisting that I’d miscarried, but my hormones were just taking a while to come down. I kept doing pregnancy tests which continued to come back positive. After a couple of days the bleeding lessened into light, watery brown spotting. I saw my GP and he said the bleeding pointed to a ‘textbook’ miscarriage. I’d previously had a miscarriage at 5 weeks, and to be honest the symptoms were really similar (sorry, I don’t mean to scare people). With the first one I started to bleed heavily at 5 weeks pregnant. Both ectopics were incredibly different, with very different symptoms. The first ruptured my left tube at 8 weeks pregnant, and the second was on the fibrial end of my right tube.

If you begin to feel dizzy and unwell and experience worsening abdominal pain, I would advise going straight to your local A&E, just to be on the safe side. As it is out of hours, I would recommend calling NHS 111 to discuss your symptoms. Having said that, whilst I do not wish to alarm you, I wouldn't rely on having the same experiences with ectopic pregnancies and as you are experiencing bleeding, change in bowel habit and abdominal pain, I would advise seeking urgent medical advice. It is a nerve-wracking time and you have friends here who understand how you are feeling. My mind started racing and I was only really able to relax to some degree after my early scan. I also felt twinges and aches after my ectopic pregnancy, particularly when I next felt pregnant. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured. Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy,Īfter an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. Not sure if women who’ve had an ectopic have experienced bright red bleeds that stop after a few days? xx So until then I’m worrying about any twinge and niggle. My early pregnancy unit refused to see me, until I’m at least 7 weeks which is next week. I don’t think its miscarriage personally but you never know. I also took a pregnancy test after this bleeding which is was positive. I didn’t get much pain last time and I don’t have any this time either. It’s stopped and now I have a very pale brown/tan discharge. However this time I had a bright red bleed, which only lasted 3 days. My ectopic last year was initially diagnosed as a Pregnancy of Unknown Location until they spotted an ‘adnexal mass’ in my right tube. Thank you for your response, it’s much appreciated. Three months after I had my first ectopic I fell pregnant and I now have a beautiful two year old son. There was a lot of blood in my abdomen and that was causing the horrendous wind pain. I went to a and e and had a early scan and I knew what was going to happen. Second time around I was aware of my symptoms. I also had shoulder tip pain and a lot of vomiting. I was 5 weeks pregnant and I knew it was another ectopic. I had my second ectopic 4 weeks ago and it was very different. I had a period for about 6 days and shoulder tip pain. I've had two ectopic and both tubes removed.
