Well just as soon as I was told I was pregnant I was told there is a problem. After the first hcg test I went back on Friday and my levels were only up to 231 from 219. My doctor was concerned because the rise wasn't much and it wasn't a drop. I went back yesterday and they were only up to 235. With it being a weekend they should have been going up and she feared an ectopic pregnancy. I had an ultrasound that afternoon and it seemed to confirm her fear, it was indeed an ectopic pregnancy in my right ovary. There was inflammation and that was a clear enough indicator for me. I went ahead with the methotrexate shot and am now waiting. I will go in on Thursday to give another blood sample to be sure my hcg levels are dropping. I hope it will only take a few weeks until my period comes. I was told this will help my levels drop faster.
My only fear now is the increased risk I have. Having this be my 4th loss and first ectopic I wonder where that puts me. I know the risk is 20% higher for another ectopic I just wonder if that increases even more if I factor in my other three miscarriages. I feel as though my body is turning on me more and more with each pregnancy. The doctor is trying and testing more this time around but there are time when I still feel like she should be doing more. I think after this round of treatments I will seek out a new ob. After 4 losses I want answers or someone to help me though this fight with my body.
I will get through this and I will get my babies. I know there is not much more I can do but hold on to that thought.
Thank you for all the kind words and continued support you give me.

oh hun, I am so sorry. This is totally unfair. I know that your chances of another ectopic do increase, but they are still low. Please dont give up hope, its just bad luck - of which you have had more than your fair share, it must be time for life to give you a good break now x x
Big hugs, Rach x

I am so sorry! With your miscarriage history you need to go to a reproductive endocrinologist immediately. OB's can't handle this stuff IMO. Chromosomal workups, the works for both of you. I think this ectopic is a fluke, genetically you can't make that happen. I am on my second pregnancy passed my miscarriage. I feel I am on pins and needles. Best of luck to you and I will put you in my prayers during this really tough time.
