Leading on from my blog of 29th April, I was convinced I had a 3rd miscarriage this year with this pregnancy, all the signs were telling me that and I did not feel pregnant at all. I had some blood tests taken to check the HCG hormone but as the lab screwed up the results I never received any feedback from my OBGYN.
On Thursday I started having what I can only describe as 'labor pains' and I just put it down to the miscarriage. However, yesterday the pain was still there and I just knew something wasn't right... I went to the ER and with further blood work it showed my hormone levels had increased! I had another transvaginal scan and it showed both ovaries were abnormal but nothing else. My OBGYN thought it was an ectopic pregancy so did a laproscopy (I think that's how it is spelt?) Anyway, it was an ectopic pregnancy and it has now been removed. There is a possibility not all of it was removed  so I still need to have further HCG test to make sure. The good news is my tube has been saved, bad news is it increases the risk of a futher ectopic pregnancy in the future.
I am so shocked that I was not aware I was still pregnant, and as my Dr said it could have been life threatening had it ruptured... I am just so glad to be able to spend Mother's day at home with my family.  |
