Hi All.......
I went to the ER last Sunday 11-25 with heavy bleeding, massive bloating, weak knees and severe pelvic and back pain. It was strange because I had my period on Mon. 11-19 and I had already stopped bleeding for two days before Sunday. But as it turns out I am about 3 to 4 wks pregnant. The doctors are mystified. They can not see the embryo with an ultrasound because I am so early on in the pregnancy and they will not be able to visually see the embryo in the ultrasound until I am 6wks. So they took my blood and the HCG levels were low (173) indicating a miscarriage or a possible ectopic pregnancy......but I have not miscarried yet. They could not keep me admitted so they sent me home and referred me to a physician to follow up on Tuesday. HCG levels do not change for two days and that is the only way they can tell what is happening at this point until I reach 6wks and they can see where the embryo lies. So Tuesday I go to follow up and the Dr is freaked as to why I had a period and sends me for another pregnancy test which comes back positive. She did a pelvic examine and determined that I have fluid outside of my uterus which can indicate a ruptured cyst. She puts a stat on my HCG levels and tells me that I am at high risk for an ectopic pregnancy because the levels are higher now (266) and that my fallopian tube can rupture at any time so I have to be under supervision and that I have to go to the ER stat if I get a fever, hemorrhage, faint or get excruciating pain. So at this point I have to go to the doctor every other day to have my blood drawn to check my HCG levels. So I go back to the Dr yesterday and find out that one of my tests came back positive for inflamed vaginal canal which was causing the bloating. Mind you my stomach was so bloated when I went to the Er on Sunday the lab tech thought I was 5months pregnant. My HCG levels were sent Stat again and this time they are lower (122). Strange because they were low high low so we are not getting anywhere as to if I am ectopic or miscarrying or if there are other complications and I can still carry or if I just ruptured a cyst and have a norm pregnancy.....just gets more confusing. Mind you nothing can be treated with any meds except for Tylenol because they are treating this as a possible pregnancy that I can carry through til birth because nothing is quit adding up.I've always said I love kids but they are not for me and I have never ever been pregnant before.....I am 29yrs old thats pretty good. I've taken safety precautions to the extreme and even with this particular scenario we used condoms.....obviously it broke. Anyway my point is I didn't want kids but everything changes when you are actually pregnant versus when you talk or think about being pregnant. I would just think about positive things and notice all of a sudden I had a smile on my face. I started thinking about all the personality traits my child would have and if it were a boy or girl and blah blah blah but my reaction was not negative ne more and my heart was filled with love and joy just out of the blue.....something I would have never expected even though I had already decided if I was going to carry full term I was going to keep it because I do not believe in abortion which is why I have always taken safety precautions. So yesterday when I got those numbers back and they were lower my heart just absolutely broke. My life has changed in so many ways all in one week I feel completely crazy especially not having any answers as to what exactly my body is doing and why this is happening. The doctors can only lean towards one answer versus another and every day it leans toward a different outcome with no real explanation or treatment until I can have an ultrasound on my 6th wk so they can actually see where the embryo is. Anyway I'm hoping someone can give me some advice.....I am so confused and scared. I'm going to have my HCG levels taken later today again. Does anyone have any advice?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Try not to worry about wat is going to happen ok. Just sit and wait, be patient. Things will turn out the way they are suposed to. Everything happens for a reason.
I hope everything is okay though and you get the results you are looking for. Good luck.xx
