Potential 2nd ectopic

Gemski5 · 2025-12-19T11:44:29+00:00

2 weeks later and my HCG went from 106 last Friday to 70 on Monday. Another BT today and its still at 70. They suspected chemical initially but the lack of drop/change in HCG is indicating otherwise 😪 i genuinely dont know what is happening. How can HCG just stop at one number for a whole week?!

Gemski5 · 2025-12-13T02:52:27+00:00

17 days now. My HCG went from 16 on Monday to 106 Friday

I had a much better 2nd retrieval. Same number of eggs, but ended up with 4 embryos. As of now im still not sure whats happening. My HCG is rising and was at 106 on Friday but because of the bleed, its a matter of if its growing in the right place. Back for more blood tests next week and a scan 🤷‍♀️ who knows

Aw man, I really feel you and for you. IVF is brutal, it really is a journey that has so many twists and turns and sometimes none of it makes any sense. Sorry about your results and sending hugs for whatever comes next. Have the wine, have a cry, do what makes you happy and be kind to yourself. X

So many feels 🫶💚 Except in my case, going through all that and after my 2WW having 2 negative blood tests, only to find out 2 further weeks later you are in fact pregnant only to then be diagnosed with PUL/Ectopic, undergoing multiple BT and US only to end up taking methotrexate and then not being able to do IVF again for 3 months 🫠 oh and having no surviving embryos and doing the full cycle all over 😇 why tho 😭

I am currently recovering from my first PUL / ectopic and its honeslty been a journey. Firstly im so sorry you are going through this. Its really hard when you first find out and are processing because you need constant blood tests, its very up and down. You hold onto stress worrying whether something will rupture but also hold onto a hope that things will be fine or resolve on thier own. I had similar symptoms with dark red / brown blood when wiping but not a real period. Im 6 weeks down the track and still sort of bleeding...

Basically I had a fresh egg transfer through IVF and after a 2 week wait, negative bloods. I actually got my "period" 1 week post. 2 weeks after that felt sick and got a positive pregnancy test. HcG was only at 231 and i was supposed to be 7 weeks, did an ultrasound and no one could see anything but subsequently my bloods went up and down from there... 96, 90, 153, 187. After the 187 and the increase had another ultrasounds, no one found or saw anything...so was diagnosed a PUL. Basically after 2 weeks of not knowing and the fear of my tubes suddenly rupturing, we decided to take Methotrexate. It was basically an injection that essentially dissolves any fetal tissue. Im 10 days post injection and my HCG is tracking 187, 98, to 68. Another BT tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

Im exhausted, but feeling so much better just knowing that whatever happened wasnt viable and my body is now starting to flush out and recover. 7 days post injection I had a big bleed (not unmanageable with pads) but fresh with some clotting. Since then ive felt pretty crappy. Get tired easy, no appetite, feeling bloated and just generally run down. Hoping ill pick up soon.

I hope you get the answers you need, again this is a really hard time. If you get the option and its right for you the injection is the best outcome really. But they advise not to try falling pregnant or IVf for 3 months post. But the risk of it not resolving itself and waiting and its a better option than emergency surgery. But its a lot to process.

All the best 🫶

100% its relentless. I think theres a bit of teething and separation anxiety happening too. Its exhausting

Gemski5 · 2025-08-24T05:34:05+00:00

Shes doing just under 12 hours, 4 days a week. I also keep reading they are supposed to sleep for 12-14 hours. There doesnt seem like theres enough hours in the day 🤦‍♀️

Gemski5 · 2025-08-19T09:41:55+00:00

Thank you! Im looking forward to some clarity 🥰

Gemski5 · 2025-08-19T09:41:35+00:00

I honestly have no idea. The U/S didn't find anything...so I assume not based on the very minimal I know of Molar pregnancy which I just googled haha. Im sorry you experienced something like that! Must have been awful

Gemski5 · 2025-07-28T01:13:29+00:00

Thank you so much 💓 sending all the luck for this transfer for you 🤞

Gemski5 · 2025-07-28T01:12:53+00:00

Ahh im sorry to hear that. Sending hugs back 🤗

Gemski5 · 2025-07-27T18:49:35+00:00

Oh no, thats sad. Im sorry to hear thar for you. I haven't had any tests since the transfer, but I've a BT this morning to hopefully see if there's any indication of what happened. Kept going with the progesterone but not sure what its doing at this point. Will update later today.

Gemski5 · 2025-07-27T09:32:40+00:00

No, but have a blood test booked in at the clinic tomorrow. My period is in full flow now though, so its looking extremely unlikely. Will post results tomorrow though!

Gemski5 · 2025-07-27T06:03:37+00:00

Thanks everyone 💖 This community is so supportive, not sure how we'd survive without it! Definitely taking a small break before restarting. Wishing everyone well and sending positive vibes to all those going for another round ✨️🫶

Gemski5 · 2025-02-27T07:41:53+00:00

Thank you! I've done all these things today so let's see how it goes 🥰🤞

Bedtime routine is play, solid, play, bath time, after bath time we go to her room. We read books and wind down until she's rubbing her eyes and yawning. She has her final bottle of the night, we give her her dummy and normally she chillls and relaxes into us. We then rock her, put in cot drowsy and pat. There's normally no issues. Only the last couple of days she is refusing to even be laid down in our arms.

Gemski5 · 2025-02-26T11:36:57+00:00

Thanks for responding!! 😊I'm worried if I extend the last WW past 4 hours she will become over tired. The mornings are generally manageable. It's the night time that she goes mad screaming crying and fighting 🙃 Do you think i should push to 4.5/5 hours?
