High Risk Pregnancies

Yep, I've had lots of tests done and I'm one of the people who falls into the unexplained category.   Really don't know what to think about the cause(s). I went to see two specialists in February and they both said they might put me on heparin if I had another miscarriage. So, I might get to go on that next time.

Ohhhh....huge fingers crossed for you!!!!

I was unexplained as well, until I had a prog test once I was actually pregnant - which showed low levels. My actual prog tests beforehand when investigating my recurrent m/c were all normal, so it came as a slight surprise.

Hey vanillabean I hope it all goes well for you and your hcg levels keep rising

Oh vanillabean, iknow everyone says this but do hang in there, take some time for you, and also you and partner. We have had 3 losses, and this one so far has stuck in there with a few glitches, but it just means it means more when it happens.
Deep breathe, soppy movie, and some quality couple time. and anyone who gives yoiu the well whats wrong with you, slap them or avoid them, don't be ashamed to let people see how much it hurts to lose a baby nor how insensitive people can be. this time we didn't tell heaps of people due to that and when we did they were hurt we hadn't told them earlier and Hubby told them it was due to the way they had treated me before. and most apologised profusely. Stupidity is curse.

Hi guys.

I guess i fall into this catagory as i'm preggie but they think it may be ectopic?

I was rushed into hospital on Tuesday the 2nd with severe lower abdominal pain and light bleeding, and was told i was preggie but probably miscarrying. I had a scan around midday and they saw a 22mm mass in my right tube beside my Ovary, and at first said it was a ruptured cyst. A second doctor came in and did some more scanning and said it was an ectopic pregnancy.

By this time i had no pain what so ever, and just light spotting with a few small clots. I was stable (bp normal and feeling fine physically) but they transferred me from Waitakere hospital to North Shore to see the Gyno team and get it teriminated.

When i got to Nth shore hospital, the Gyno Doc said she was not so sure it was ectopic, but was concerned the my HCG level was only at 589 (they guessed i was around 5 weeks along, but i'd had a period only 10 days before admission.

Because i felt fine they eventually let me eat and then go home.

On Thursday (the 4th) i had to go to the Early Preg Clinic for more blood tests, and got a HCG reading of 694. Still had no pain, and the spotting had more or less stopped. I have had normal preggie things, like peeing more often, increased hunger and sence of smell, and what may be early morning sickness ( gagging at some things, visual or smells).

The doctor there has told me to get another blood test on Tuesday 9th, first thing in the morning, and she'll call me with the results in the afternoon.

If my Hcg levels are only about 1000, then i'll have to have an emergency scan to look again at possible ectopic, but if it's over 1500 then she'll just book me for a normal early pregnancy scan locally.

So i have a few more days to go before i can relax and enjoy this, and am trying to stay possitive and happy (not an easy feat )

So yeah.... sorry about the novel, but thats where i'm at.

FX (and toes and legs and arms and....)

Hey guys.

Sadly it was ectopic, and i was rushed in for emergency surgery on Monday morning after my right tube ruptured.

The surgeon said I was lucky, cause apparently i went into shock from blood loss and could have died, but i dont remember much.

I dont feel lucky either.

I lost my Angel and my right tube.

They said i was roughly 7 weeks along. 

My HCG was only 974,

I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Krissie I'm so sorry for your loss.

Any updates from anyone??

My pregnancy seems to be going smoothly this time round..so far! Still time for this to go wrong but hoping to keep on top of it Scan on Thursday, I am excited to find out what this little bean is and if its still a bit bigger for my dates not worried about a bigger bubs this time due to DD being so small.
