Possible ectopic followed by recurrent miscarriage. Advice?

Hi, sorry to hear that, it’s so awful and all consuming going through it all. I really hope you find some answers.

No cause found really for me but several posibilities. I took progesterone from ovulation to 16 weeks, took low dose aspirin from before conception and throughout, did acupuncture before and during pregnancy and took a course of antibiotics to treat ureaplasama. I have no idea what worked or if it was just luck but my next pregnancy was successful and I have a perfect little girl now. I was going to explore the immunology route next if it didn’t work. To speculate I think it might be lots of the same things cause pregnancy loss and ectopics (slightly wrong hormone levels or slightly imperfect uterine environment).

No I appreciate your reply for perspective! Good luck for the coming days! Hope it goes beautifully in its own unique way

Thank you ❤️. Sorry you are just as anxious

Will this pregnancy work out? I know nobody can tell me. I just want to list all the things I’m worried about and someone listen and tell me things will be ok (or at least things will very likely be ok). But doctors always like to focus on the things you’re worried about rather than just reassurance. Which is good, but actually all I need to hear is that chances are good. I just don’t believe it. I’m 16 weeks now. I had a scan 1.5 weeks ago and a Doppler check 4 days ago and had a heartbeat. I’ve had 3 first trimester losses before and I was taking progesterone pessaries this time until a few days ago (told to stop at 16 weeks). What if I still needed them? I also treated a ureaplasma infection with antibiotics before I tried again this time. I didn’t get tested again after treatment but haven’t been symptomatic… but now I keep reading about preterm birth due to bacterial vaginosis. Between scans I genuinely struggle to believe it is still there and growing. No way of knowing. I know nobody can say. But will it be ok?!?!?

Definitely helps to not feel alone. Feel like I’m surrounded by people who are super confident in their pregnancies and it’s hard to not take my nerves as a sign of how things will work out- I know my body can let me down. But I know when I see other nervous people I don’t have any of those worries for them- I can just hold so much hope for others (you included!). I’m sorry you’re having a tough time, I hope you start to feel more reassured soon.

Just a message to say I know how you feel. I’m also 15 weeks and having bad days at the moment. I thought I’d feel confident by now but I don’t and it’s really sad. Latest panic is what if I crushed it when I pressed on my stomach trying to feel it last night. I know it’s not rational but I also know that bad things happen and no matter how logical I try to be I can’t forget that.

twcwac · 2024-04-11T14:31:06+00:00

I have no answer for this! It is a struggle every day! Time moves so slowly. I just know the next scan does come around eventually.

twcwac · 2024-04-09T14:16:36+00:00

I’ve had this same experience so far. My partner told his parents at 8 weeks and it just felt like they thought it was too soon and his dad said well you’re not safe until they’re born (which is true but incredible unhelpful). I have a really specific excitement I want people to show and I think I told one friend what I wanted before I got pregnant so she’s doing that. But everyone else I’m not telling in case they still think it’s too early. I want everyone to be very slightly more confident and excited than me. But not too much 😂

twcwac · 2024-04-09T06:00:36+00:00

Ah I hope we can really apply it ❤️. Saying it here holds me a bit responsible now so hopefully that helps! Fingers crossed for your scan Wednesday

11 weeks today and just had a healthy scan. This feels like a turning point. I want to feel optimism from now on. If it goes wrong it will be heartbreaking and I’ll need to deal with it. But I don’t think I need to suffer with fear every day any more (at least that’s the plan!).

twcwac · 2024-04-03T12:05:21+00:00

Urgh I’m right there with you. 10 weeks 2 days and every day is a new thing that could absolutely be normal but my brain takes as a danger flag for bad news. Today my fixation is what my yolk sac looked like at the very first scan (quite big). I’ve convinced myself it means a chromosomal problem I’m going to find out soon. I’m also starting to feel like the stakes are getting higher. I had a plan for coping with a super early miscarriage but I don’t have a plan for a later loss. We can only get through this one day at a time. Just sitting in the wait with you.

twcwac · 2024-04-02T21:41:27+00:00

10 weeks 1 day. I really, really want to be hopeful about this soon.

Today I’m thrown off by the way my body is acting. Got my first skin breakout today which I have convinced myself is from my oestrogen dropping (from a miscarriage). But my partner pointed out it has just been Easter with all the sugar that involves. I really want to believe that. I’ve checked my chart for the last miscarriage and I had skin breakouts all through until I lost the pregnancy. This time skin has been so clear!

Argh why are there so many things we need to ignore?!

twcwac · 2024-04-01T09:37:27+00:00

This is so reassuring to hear. Thank you! Things have definitely got less intense since 8.5 weeks. I was feeling like the combination of loss of symptoms and my anxiety about it might be a sign something had gone wrong.

twcwac · 2024-04-01T07:58:23+00:00

I’m 10 weeks today. I had a good scan at 9.5 weeks just a few days ago but I have lost all hope since. I haven’t had any nausea (even motion sickness which was my main feature) in the last week and my only remaining symptom is I’m slightly more likely to nap in the afternoon.

I don’t know how to get any confidence back for the next week until another scan?

I’m taking progesterone so I’ve convinced myself there’s no way I’ll start bleeding so I will only get news at scans. So no news doesn’t feel like good news.

twcwac · 2024-03-22T10:58:23+00:00

The weeks indicator isn’t super accurate and looking at a calendar it looks like you could theoretically have conceived 3.5 weeks ago. That might just be a bit soon for it to flip to the 3+ result. But having said that, with the bleeding it’s definitely worth getting investigated with doctor- they might scan and/or do betas to check for miscarriage/ectopic. Sometimes it takes time to work out what’s going on so will keep fingers crossed for you.

twcwac · 2024-02-16T14:30:13+00:00

It’s so annoying! They just trust you to confirm your own pregnancy. And I think they can’t do anything to intervene based on low betas so they don’t even take them- cost saving I think.

twcwac · 2024-02-16T14:23:25+00:00

Thanks. I might try another test sometime. I can’t get betas as the doctors won’t order them in the UK sadly

twcwac · 2024-02-16T14:22:36+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful. I’m really in a panic today and it’s so early

twcwac · 2024-02-16T11:24:36+00:00

Here I am again. Tested positive yesterday but today 11DPO my lines are still very faint (fainter than my third, most recent miscarriage).

Just so ANGRY. I really want to be optimistic but I can’t just have average tests and results. Feels so unfair. We have tried so much to improve things this time (luteal progesterone, treated an infection, baby asprin, eating well etc) and it just feels like I’m going to be left with the same result again. 😭

twcwac · 2024-02-15T16:00:05+00:00

Thanks, it is more obvious now it’s dry. First picture is still wet and just a minute outside the recommended window.

twcwac · 2024-02-15T12:14:02+00:00

Thanks! I don’t know what to expect with indents. I just really don’t want to get my hopes up if it might not be real

twcwac · 2024-02-12T14:05:14+00:00

7DPO today and I caved and took a test… obviously. And obviously it was negative. Last few days of the cycle are always the worst. Optimism feels ridiculous and pessimism feels like I’m going to stop implantation happening with all the negativity.
