Nervous - Tubal
Well, my third blood test came back. Now, they are wondering if I might have a tubal pregnancy.
Last Monday 152 hcg
Last Wednesday 50 hcg
Today 109 hcg
So, I will have an exam tomorrow morning. Just spoke to the doctor because we wanted to cancel our trip if it s a tubal. He said he just doesn't know. He doesn't think we need to cancel our trip. He said he will check things out tomorrow and then Monday another blood test. So, I guess we will know more tomorrow.

Oh no. Are they going to do an Ultrasound so they can see what's going on in there? I hope it's not a tubal pregnancy and just a lab fluctuation or something.
Better yet, maybe you've got something happening in that uterus. Stranger things have happened...

Geez...I don't know. I've had a miscarriage but not a tubal.
I really wonder if it's just a lab fluctuation. That happened to me a couple of weeks ago with my Progesterone level. It was 16.7 one week, 37.5 the next and back down to 16.0 two weeks after that. Come to find out the regular lab technician was out the day they got the 37.5 and the one who did my test diluted my blood differently.

Traci,
I had an ectopic (Tubal) last June/July. It was the WORST Pain in my life. I found I out was pregnant (positive pee stick) and in the next week the discomfort in my right side (like a strong strong ovulation pain) just got worse and worse.
Within 2 weeks of peeing on the stick I was so miserable I laid in bed for several days.... I told myself it was just being tired from being pregnant.
When I would sit on the toilet and have a bowel movement I would feel better....or think I did. I convinced myself I was really constipated. When I would relax my pelvic muscles to urinate or have a BM it would hurt in a way that defies explaination. (I later found out that's a little known symptom of a tubal)
FInally on July 17th I gave in and took 1 Tylenol -- and for me to take pain meds and while pregnant that is a testament to how much pain I was in. I laid in bed and cried. Then all of a sudden it was like a relief.... no more pain. But when I rolled over onto my side I felt a "squishiness" inside of me... a sloshing.... still I napped for several hours.
When I got up I felt better -- I even ate a piece of fried chicken ( I hadn't felt like eating for 2 weeks).
Then I started having trouble breathing.... I finally gave in and called my husband home to take me to the ER.
A vaginal ultrasound confirmed the worst - -a heartbeat in my tube and a lot of blood in my abdominal cavity. They immediatly rushed me into surgery -- and said had I waited much longer I might have died.
When I got pregnant with Cooper less than a few months later I was sooooo scared. I had no risk factors for a tubal in the first place so no one could tell me my chances of having a 2nd ectopic. I was due to go on a business trip to Atlanta and I did NOT want to re-live that experience in a strange city alone. So my doctor gave me an U/S and said it appeared that there was a sack in my uterus -- and my one remaining tube looked ok.
I don't really have a point to this posting besides -- if you're in a lot of pain (abdomen) and it has been getting worse or if relaxing your pelvic muscles to urninate or have a BM hurts....well I'd consider postponing your trip. Hopefully the doc will find something (positive) tomorrow!
Keep us updated!

Yes, I have thought I was majorly constipated. It feels good to have a BM (ok that sounds wierd) but it is like hte pain stops. My pain has been in my lower back left side and front lower. I have a high pain tolerance. It has been pain but again I had a lot of these feelings when I had my miscarriage at 8 1/2 weeks that he wanted me to push out the stuff naturally. Well, I haven't taken much of anything because I am an idiot.
We called him tonight about cancelling our trip and he said come in the morning but he doesn't think I should cancel the trip. He is going to check things ok.
Thanks for your post.
