Thank you all for your thoughts and kind words,I really appreciate yous taking time to read and comment.well I'm awaiting a phone call with beta numbers but I'm now bleeding like a period,I've adjusted my FF and I'm counting today as CD1.so very sad about this :( I will still update with my beta when I've had my call.thanks again ladies x
Today's beta is 160 I seriously can't cope with this now.it's all so confusing I'm bleeding how can it be going up ? Of course I know this pregnancy won't continue but these numbers are baffling me !!
Just1wish, are they going to do an u/s to see what's going on?
No,they said there is no point until hcg reaches a certain level.not sure what that level is though and in the phone all the nurse mentioned possible ectopic WTF !! I think it's really unfair they won't scan me,I have 4 children's to look after and my thoughts are consumed by what's going on.i need to know what's going on :(!!Quote:

If there is any possibility of an ectopic, I would think theyd want to rule that out ASAP! So frustrated for you! Hugs!
Thank you so need the hugs!! I've decided if my numbers rant dropping tomorrow I will demand a scan for my own sanity !Quote:

It is a very difficult time please take care of yourself.
Just1wish thinking of you. Hugs x
The reason they wont scan is that nothing can be seen until your HCG gets over 1000. The gestational sac is just too small to be visible prior to that point. If its in the right place then they can rule out ectopics but not until your hcg levels are much higher. A slow rising beta is usually either due to a chromosomal abnormality, which in most cases will result in miscarriage, or an ectopic. You are not in any danger from an ectopic (in terms of damage to tube etc) until it gets much bigger and your hcg levels get a lot higher.
In the vast majority of ectopic cases they never actually see the pregnancy. So its very hard to rule that out unless something in seen in the uterus. Even with much higher betas they are very difficult to see. A lot of times the Dr will make an educated guess that is what is going on (if the pregnancy cannot be seen in the uterus) and give you the methotrexate shot.
Given you are bleeding it sounds like your body is trying to sort it out on its own. I'd be guessing chromosomal miscarriage. But obviously the placenta is still attached and producing hcg. Hang in there. Fx for a speedy resolution for you. MMx
I am so very sorry you are being tortured with numbers.
:HH: Prepare for the worst but Hope for the best! :HH:
I do hope that your little bean is okay though.
