u/mindlessly-dreaming

On August 3rd, I had my first appointment. I weighed 282.8 (i am 5'7"). I had an early scan as my first and previous pregnancy was ectopic, but the baby was too small to see, so I am unsure exactly how far along I am until my next ultrasound. I ovulated late so unsure when I got pregnant. If I had to guess, I am probably just a few days past 5 weeks. Anyways, today, I weighed 276.2.

I haven't really eaten much less than I typically do, I don't think. I had changed some of my eating habits and lost a little weight right before I got pregnant. And the last week, I actually get a little nauseous if my stomach is empty, so I snack throughout the day. Plus, I've started eating a small breakfast in the mornings, which I didn't do before because I wake up queasy. So it is not like I am eating less. I may even be eating more some days.

I am just a little concerned that I've lost 6 and a half lbs so quickly. Is this normal, or has anyone else experienced it? Is this something I should be concerned about?

So background: I had an ectopic last year. Treated successfully with one round of methotrexate.

Present Day: My last period was June 22nd. I have longer cycles (every 34 days), but I didn't test positive until July 28th which was about five days after I expected to start. I tested two days prior and nothing. The test wasn't super light, but the fact that I got a late positive had me anxious from the start. But my home tests have been increasing steadily. Not slowly or anything.

My OB set up an appointment for the following Monday (August 3rd). My HCG was 1209 on that day. I was a little concerned because my ectopic had higher HCG than that at 6 weeks, which was what I am supposed to be.

I had my first ultrasound today (August 6th). They found nothing in my uterus or in/around my tubes or ovaries. I have had no pain or bleeding. Just occasional twinges, mostly in the center. She did state I had thickening of the endometrium. So I am pregnant, but no baby/sac could be found. But if my hcg doubled, it should be around 2400 now(i wont know for sure until another blood draw), and when I googled it, it said typically they should be able to see something wirh those hcg levels.

The ultrasound tech thought maybe I ovulated late, and I am closer to 4 or 5 weeks (which is possible, seeing as my periods have been a bit off balance since my ectopic..the last one I had was over a week late). I am waiting for my doctor to call to set up blood work and another ultrasound. I'm just not really sure what to think. I feel like I am stuck in limbo.

Has anyone had anything like this happen, and how did it turn out? I'm just so anxious waiting.
