Thanks guys, I'm going in at 11:30 just to get checked out. I've not had any problems with my bowels, but do have pre-existing back problems and low blood pressure so my symptoms are probably nothing to worry about but definitely worth making sure. I'll let you all know :grouphug:

No harm in getting it checked out! Hope you get some positive news

I truly hope it is nothing to worry about. extra low bp of a good sign in pregnancy, though if you are fainting all over it might not seem it It is possible you hurt your back and shoulder fainting but definitely best to be certain.

Well I'm back from my GP and it was a much better experience than last time (competent, sympathetic doctors can make all the difference!) Although he doesn't think it's an ectopic pregnancy as I wasn't more sensitive to touch when he was prodding my abdomen and my obs were all just-about normal, I've been referred for an early scan tomorrow morning just to be sure. He thinks it's ligaments stretching and setting off existing conditions, as well as my low BP and general sickness making me faint - which is probably right, to be fair. I'm glad he took it seriously and is double checking with a scan though - plus, I get to see baby, yey!

Good news and fingers crossed for tomorrow

Currently sat in a hospital bad after being admitted for pain and bleeding. Just had an ultrasound - showed a 'fluid filled sac' but nothing else. They don't call it a pregnancy sac until they see a baby apparently.
HCg levels are at 4000 or so.

Not really sure how to feel at the moment.

Oh no so sorry Lily. Maybe it's too early to see the fetal pole etc? How do the HCg levels compare to the stage you're at?
Thinking of you.

Levels are good. Can't read too much into them as it's a 1 off result and you need a series done over a few days. The number is well within normal limits however.

Because this pregnancy has come straight off the back of a miscarriage I can't be sure of dates. If I make an educated guess at ovulation I would be about 5+1 or 5+2, so it would be highly unusual to see anything more than just a sac.

But the pain and bleeding still isn't normal and this has ruined my last day of holiday. I just don't think I can cry any more. I feel so stressed that I am actually totally calm.
