It’s my first time. Maangchi’s recipe helped me succeed!

I left them on the counter overnight and in the morning I saw the brine leaking everywhere. Opened the lid to burp it. Tasted it and realized wow it’s already ready to be moved to the fridge so I did. Soon after that I no longer saw the brine floating on top so that was interesting.
It was so fun to make and I’m very happy with the outcome. My husband likes it too and immediately had it with his steak.

Did I have an ectopic that resolved on its own or a miscarriage?

I had an ectopic pregnancy 6 months ago that resulted in having my tube removed.
Last month I got a very faint positive when my period was a day late. The line got a little more visible the next day but that was it. Never got darker. Went for an ultrasound and they saw a mass/fluid in my left tube near the ovary so Ob suspected an ectopic but betas were low so they did expectant management.

Beta hCG: 53 - 5w2d

72 - 5w4d

43 - 6w

6w1d started bleeding. Not heavy just like a normal period. After a week I stopped bleeding and blood beta was negative (2 something)

Does anyone know whether it was a miscarriage or an ectopic? And what happened to that mass in your case?

Slow-rising hCG after previous ectopic... miscarriage or another ectopic?

Hi all. After spiraling and reading many stories on this sub, I’ve decided to share my current situation, hoping to hear if anyone was in a similar situation and what the outcome was.

I had an ectopic pregnancy 6 months ago and had my right tube removed. No bleeding, no pain besides bad trapped gas, but not sure it was related. They saw nothing in my uterus during weeks 5 and 6. At that point, I noticed some sensation on the right side when I walked, and when I lay down on my left side, it felt like something on my right side was weighing down. I got my blood drawn at around 7w, and my beta was 9000. I had surgery the next day.

And now my current situation:

Period never came. I caught my LH peak this cycle, so I’m almost certain when I ovulated.
15 dpo - a shadow
16 dpo - vvfl
17 dpo (5w2d) - beta 53. Ultrasound saw a mass/fluid measuring 19x11mm. Endometrium 15.5mm. Nothing in the uterus 
19 dpo (5w4d) - beta 73
No bleeding. No pain.

My OB said it was not an emergency like last time as my betas were quite low. It could be a miscarriage in progress. But we can’t rule out an ectopic yet since the mass could be bleeding due to the ectopic. We’ll repeat the test in the next 48 hours. In the meantime, my home tests remain faint like the first one.
I stay calm one minute and spiral the next. I’m terrified of another surgery and losing my other tube. Some stories here show ruptures do occur even at a low hCG. On the other hand, if it’s a miscarriage, I’d prefer to let it resolve on its own without the ordeal of MTX.
Would love to hear your experience.

A faint line on 16 dpo. Ectopic in November. Anyone had a happy ending with a faint positive this late?

I caught my LH peak on CD 20, may have ovulated that day or CD 21
First test: 15 dpo evening diluted urine as I got some egg white like discharge instead of period blood
Second test: first morning urine.

Pls help! What’s biting my toddler at night?

Pls excuse my English. It’s not my native language.

I didn’t see them first thing in the morning but he started scratching soon after and by the time he was done eating breakfast, we saw crazy puffy marks. In the past week he’s woken up for an hour at around 4am and couldn’t go back to sleep due to scratching. We suspected it was fleas so I washed the sheet and pillow cases with hot water. He has slept better since then but this morning we saw these marks. I’m so tired. We checked for bed bugs as well and didn’t see any. The strange thing is that we co sleep but I’m not affected.
Edit to add: pediatrician said it was eczema?!
