Guest guest Posted August 17, 2000 Report Share Posted August 17, 2000 Hindy, With my first ep I was around 4 weeks (mid-June) when I first started having signs that something was wrong. I was around 6 weeks (June 30) when I was finally diagnosed. With my second ep I was around 2 weeks when I started having symptoms and was diagnosed that night. I had known for 2 days that I was pg at that point and my hcg dropped. That was not the sign that sent me to the er, though. It was bc I could not walk without pain. That was the sign I'm talking about. While I think hcg is a good indicator, I don't believe it should be relied upon solely. But I knew my history and the combination of the pain and the dropping levels were a clear indicator that it was another ep for me. Anyway. for me the signs were at around 4 weeks, and 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2000 Report Share Posted August 18, 2000 Hindy, I was bleeding for six weeks before I decided to take a pg test (I'm sure you're asking why even bother if you are bleeding, but none of my clothes were fitting and that was the sign I had w/my 1st pg) and it came up +. Three days after I did the hpt, I called my dr. who did another test in her office and blood work, which showed a low hcg level for how far along I was (when I had the lap(a wk and a half after the hpt) for it they est. I was between 10-12 wks). So I would probably say I started bleeding around 4 wks and had one day of severe pain around 8 wks, pain like I had when my appendix began to rupture 4 years earlier. . I don't know if this helps or not or puts your mind at ease, but those are the symptoms. I will also tell you that my sister and I both bleed (like around the time our afs are due) when we are pg for the first trimester, so hopefully that is all you are doing too and next year you will have a healthy baby. Try to rest and have a good weekend! Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
