MC 3 months ago, now I have an ectopic pregnancy…any advice & support would be so appreciated
Hi everyone. 30yrs old, no LC. I’m so sad to be here, but thankful for this community & all the support. I’ve been reading different posts and it’s comforting to know we’re not alone.
Like my title says, I ended up miscarrying in March at 8 weeks (baby stopped growing 5w6d, no heartbeat detected). I was lucky enough to get pregnant 3 cycles after, only to discover this week that my HCG was falling/rising and my OB highly suspects an ectopic pregnancy. I was injected Methotrexate today and will be monitoring my HCG this upcoming week.
I am heartbroken, confused, and scared that there’s still a chance something can rupture. I also know ectopics are not labeled as miscarriages, but bc my process was more of an assumption, not 100% identified, I’m still wondering if this is a miscarriage or ectopic. I started heavily bleeding today like a period, which reminds me of how I passed my first miscarriage.
Has anyone experienced both an MC and ectopic? Any tips for taking care of my physical health? The OB basically told me no TTC-ing for 3 months, but any other tips would be greatly appreciated. A part of me also feels like I should try to get RPL tests in case this was a miscarriage, but I understand they’re costly. Any thoughts on how to approach next steps?
