Hey Emma!
Thanks for checking in! I got a call from the EPU and they actually don’t need to see me for bloods again! They just said to do a pregnancy test in 2 weeks and if it’s negative, they’ll discharge me ♥️
I hope you’re keeping well and your cysts have stopped giving you pain! Xxx

Hey Emma,

Check out Amberpregnancy.com and see if they can support in Scotland. I was referred to them by the NHS and I have my first therapy session tomorrow!

ELEPHANT I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Crying with joy, my levels also went down from 1208 to 1040, they want me back for bloods in two days. But good news for the both of us! Not having to lose a tube and levels are going down. No countdown restart!
When do they want you to check again?

Hey Piggy!! That’s amazing, a really good drop in levels!! I was every 48 hours to begin with and then moved to weekly so hopefully after Thursday yours will move to weekly!

I don’t have to go back in now! They just said take a pregnancy test in 2 weeks and if it’s negative they’ll discharge me! Xx

It’s been over a year, hope you girls are doing well.

I’m diagnosed with ectopic 4 days back and my level was 1900. Got methotrexate 100mg dose and today is day 4, hcg is 7030 :(

Is it too high? Do I still have a chance? I’m so worried now
