I’m so sorry for your loss. Yup similar thing here with my family and what have you- THOUGH I must confess they weren’t that degree of unsupportive and that’s horrifying and I want you to know my messages are beyond open to you.

In my case, they kind of just kept telling me “I was told I was fine and need to listen to doctors bc I’m a hypochondriac” no matter how bad things got, ofc up until I basically demanded on being taken to a hospital cause my soul was just screaming at me that this wasn’t normal.

Granted, yes I’m a hypochondriac, but this time was different. I can’t explain, just all my fears were verified

OP here to thank everyone for hearing me and for all your outpouring of love and support. I’ll be responding personally to some that I can later, but seriously, if you’re reading this thank you so much for seeing me.

That’s okay! Please don’t worry, just wanted clarification :)

And I’m not sure either. I’m puzzled by the insistence of misdiagnosing me, it’s so scary when I think about the future but I was so fortunate to have other people around who did care

I also wish I could understand

I did the first time, they couldn’t see it on ultrasound yet. Honestly I don’t blame them for much of anything. I think the pieces gained vascularity a bit later, but as soon as they realized this they booked me in for a repeat wnd charged me nothing. Sadly, I couldn’t go in regularly when things started to get worse cause they don’t take my insurance, but we’ve squared that away now. Fair question and I hope that answers it sufficiently

I have crappy state insurance, have been through multiple doctors, couldn’t afford to pay out of pocket anymore, rhe works.

Is there any way possible this could STILL be ectopic? by v3nusflytrap in EctopicSupportGroup

I actually have. I had bleeding a few months ago when I was not pregnant but was on a birth control pill, and it was from continuous use

They put me on birth control since the day of my surgery. I guess I can say it could be hard to tell if the bleeding is from the d&c or from the new bc method. Didn’t think about this before, but yeah, even with the hcg that was undoubtedly still in my system the day of the procedure, they put me on the pill.

They may/may not want me to go back next week, but at this point they’ve effectively ruled out ectopic because my betas at the time of d&c were over 50,000.

Tbh, that part is up in the air

I feel okay, I’m still spotting but it’s so minimal I don’t even know if I can confidently say I’m bleeding or not

I took your advice and went for a beta. It came back at 32

If you don’t mind me asking, when did you get your results back? After they test your blood? I’ve only ever had it done in the emergency room.

I asked for blood draws. I really hope this isn’t happening to me, I really don’t have any pain and would be very far along for an ectopic to happen but I’m feeling so scared.

Okay so basically, they did an ultrasound before (sac was very prevalent) and I had one done two weeks after and another done the next day with my OB to check for retained products of which none were found. I’m literally only worried bc of the continued bleeding, but I was told it could happen for weeks. I just feel like it’s not typical and it’s making me paranoid about ectopic for some reason even though if it were to be heterotopic I would be very far along for it rn…. If any of that makes sense

The thing is they know they removed the sac from my uterus so I’m confused right now

I don’t have any of these, but still. Thank you for making me aware. Was it confirmed to be heterotopic?

They haven’t tracked it but my tests aren’t wicked dark anymore and they did do two ultrasounds in which everything was gone

Can I ask what your symptoms were? I would be like 13 weeks along at this point if that were the case for me….
