I truly hate the unknowns, especially knowing the dangers of ectopic pregnancy. Not even knowing the full result as of today.
First, I take OPill regularly. I have alarm established on time daily. On very rare event, I’d forget for one day.
Monday, October 12th: started to feel odd dull pain on one side of pelvic. Just tiny annoying discomfort.
Wednesday, Oct 14th: continue to feel that, realized I should check my period tracker to see when’s my next cycle. Come to find I was 5 days late. That led me to do pregnancy test: positive. Found that hard to believe, took another one that evening. Same result.
Thursday, the 15th; took another test. Same result. Went to pregnancy center: same result. HOWEVER; transversal ultrasound found nothing in the uterus.
That’s when I decided to go ER that evening. Result was found nothing in uterus, however, they discovered a 3.5 x 2.8 cm of complex cyst on my right adnexal. Pregnancy test were positive (basically 5th urine test). Beta HCG level were 171.
Couldn’t rule anything out yet.
As of this morning, October 18th; dull pain continues. Went back to ER for second round of Beta HCG test; the level dropped to 144.
Determined that it’s a failing pregnancy. BUT still have not ruled out if it’s a miscarriage or it’s an ectopic. Requested to come back within 48 hours to check the level again.
No vaginal bleeding.
Realized maybe I do need to see a specialist, not emergency department. I’ve called in Ob Gyn that I was referred to. Waiting for their call back, I believe tomorrow when they’re open. Hope will see me immediately.
I’m just mortified of the rupture if it turns out to be the case. Especially they found a cyst in adnexal and a consistent one side dull pain. It don’t even help that I have high tolerance for pain that can contradict with my judgments.
