Ectopic pregnancy??!! Im scared please help?
My last missed period was Sept 18th. I took a pregnancy test 10/28. My levels then were 298.They then prescribed me 400mg of natural progesterone a day. Went to the Dr to do blood work again on 10/30. My levels now are 2046 and my progesterone went up 54%. She is sending me for some more blood work on Friday and then monday get my results and do my first prenatal. Do you think I could be suffering from a Tubal pregnancy??? I dont have any of the symptoms! Please tell me if what you think. I am starting to get scared and super nervous! They also said that I was between 3-7 weeks pregnant…but since my ovulation is off…then the ultra sound would be the way to determine how far along I am…PLEASE HELP ME!! AM I OVER WORRYING MYSELF??!!!
I guess the only reason I am thinking Ectopic is because my left ovary is pulled back behind my uterus. and it just concerns me..plus this is my first pregnancy and I have been trying to conceive for 5 yrs.
Do my levels look good?? Are they normal??
Michelle answers:
I would think that if you are having an ectopic pregnancy you would be in pain. The reason they are monitoring your blood is because if you are not producing enough hormones, it might cause you to have a miscarriage. Sounds to me like your Dr is doing a great job. I think you are fine you are just overreacting. I’ve learned to take your mind off of negative thoughts and think positive. Congratulations on your pregnancy and hope everything goes great for you!
George asks…
LADIES ONLY…Have you ever been pregnant but the test still say negative???
I use a natural progesterone cream to regulate my cycle, i’m pretty irregular, befor january i didn’t have a period for a year. I had a period january 20-25th, then again february 16th-21st so i had two regular cycles, but this month i was suppose to get it on the 14th and it never came( I used the progesterone cream as directed too) and this past week i have been experiencing sore breasts more or so my nipple area. I took a pregnancy test this morning and it was negative…
I would like as much advice as i can get, PLEASE!!
Based on YOUR calculations( I gave you the exact dates of my last couple periods), would you say they were annovulatory cycles, Was it too soon to test or what???Husband and I would like to conceive…
I have been to the doctor had my prolactin levels, thyroid, pituitary gland, LH and FSH, liver/kidney function everything tested all was perfect, I do not have PCOS either

Questions for a possible pregnancy?
I was supposed to get my period sometime around last Wednesday or Thursday and I ended up having sex on Wednesday. We used a condom but he slipped inside me for about 30 seconds before he put one on. Its been 8 days since and I still haven’t gotten my period. I was wondering if I’m just really late (which happens sometimes) or if there is a possibility of me being pregnant. If there is a possibility, when is the soonest I would be able to take a pregnancy test and get a correct result? Which pregnancy test tends to have a higher accuracy rate? Also, is there anyway to use natural herbs to self abort without harming myself if it turns out I am pregnant? Thank you very much for your help.
Michelle answers:
Most women will ovulate on day 14 starting from the first day of your last cycle. That is based on a 28 day “normal” cycle.
If you were due for your next period the day after bare in mind the egg only lives for 24 -36 hours after release from the ovary. If there is no sperm waiting or ready to penetrate the egg during that short window it will disintegrate and your body will prepare for the shedding of the lining that is there in case you do fall pregnant and cleans itself ready for the next egg.
All HPT’s are as accurate as each other as they all claim to be able to detect pregnancy at the same time.
You pregnancy test should be taken at least 14 days after conception at the embryo implants after 10 days and then you produce the hormones they test for.
I don’t know about herbs but I doubt your pregnant anyway.
Sharon asks…
i don’t know when to test? please help?
following a miscarriage on the 17th, i felt normal. now i feel pregnant again! when i get up i get a headrush, look bloated/pregnant and have mood swings. when should i take a pregnancy test to be sure wether im pregnant? i been having unprotected sex since the 23rd when my bleeding has stopped, it was a natural miscarriage n i was 6 weeks pregnant. someone please help?
Michelle answers:
It’s hard to say b/c unless you can confirm ovulation. Many women ovulate normally after a miscarriage but some do not for quite a while. Sometimes, ovulation symptoms can mimic pregnancy symptoms too.
I hope this does not offend….was your miscarriage confirmed? I have heard of women believing they had miscarried only to joyfully find they had not. Also, sometimes you can miscarry a twin, but carry the other twin to term. Either of those might explain the pregnancy symtoms.
If you are sure neither of the above reasons are a possibility, then you might try testing starting the 17th. That would give you roughly a month since the m/c and a fair possibility of an accurate result. You could test now, but it may still be too early.
