Soo...today's appointment with the 2nd opinion OB was interesting, and I feel very good about sticking to my guns and going for the second opinion. He looked at all my u/s from the other place, all my blood work, etc. (they had sent everything over to him). He said he understood why I did not want to do the methotrexate, and wanted to do an u/s himself to see what he could see. He checked my tubes and said there is absolutely nothing going on there and he does not think this is ectopic at all. Then he looked at my ovaries. He noted the same 2 cysts on each ovary that the other OB did, but he explained that the right one was "huge" and was hemorrhagic (aka, blood filled and bleeding). He said that this was likely the side I ovulated from. Which is also very interesting at my Oct. 1 u/s, the lady told me that my ovaries "looked great" and there were no cysts. Hmm. The cysts did not appear on u/s until the one I had with the other OB on Monday. He did not explain anything about them. So, he stated again that it did not look ectopic, my tubes were good, and was probably an interuterine pregnancy. He spent way more time doing the u/s than the other guy, and his machine was way better. Then he started showing me around my uterus. He said "This is most definitely an interuterine pregnancy". He said he found a gestational sac. Umm...there was nothing found on the 3 previous ultrasounds..... well except the first one where the guy said that it looked like it was in my cervix ready to expel. I told him this. I asked him if it was possible it was a new one..he said, no. But he hesitated. And then he said he'd do another hcg and see what is going on. I am now more confused than ever!! We did have sex approximately 2 weeks after my bleeding stopped. If we did in fact conceive then, I'd be very early and a gestational sack of that size with nothing else in it would totally correspond. He also said there's a chance its just a bleed, but he really thinks it is a gestational sac. He wants to see what my numbers are doing and if it doesn't do whatever he expects, then he recommends a d&c. He said since its not ectopic I could think about it for awhile too, about what I want to do. At this point.....with these new developments, I am hesitant to do anything that would end a pregnancy. Because in addition to these other things, I also noted ewcm and a favorable cervix position the day we had sex, but wasn't sure if it meant ovulation because of the screwiness of the miscarriage stuff. I don't want to get my hopes up, but the situation is now more confusing than ever...and I don't know how they would be able to tell if it was a new viable pregnancy by hcg numbers at this point if they were still wacky from the m/c. Anyways... I really wish I could call that other OB and tell him "f*** you. i'm still alive and its not ectopic." along with some other choice words. lol. I am supposed to call back in the morning to find out the results from today's hcg draw. Has anyone else here conceived like 2 weeks after a miscarriage ended?? Or know anyone else who has?? This is all sooooo weird.

What a rollercoaster. It will be interesting to see your hCG numbers. FX'd that everything works out the way you want it to... and that you get answers quickly.

((HUGS)) Sorry you really don't have answers hun. And I'm not defending the other OB but an ectopic pregnancy can be deadly and should be taken seriously that is probably why he was so adamant. I'm not saying how he acted was right I'm just saying that I know others who have had ectopic pregnancies and it's a very serious thing. KUP and I'm crossing everything that you get good news soon.

I'm hoping you get good news.

I did get pregnant 2 weeks after the end of a m/c- I did lose the baby but it was not related to the timing (it was due to trisomy 18). So it is possible.

I have not gotten pregnant that soon after a loss, but it is totally possible. After my most recent miscarriage, I ovulated on CD 8. So glad to hear he doesn't think you'll need the methotrexate, and that he doesn't think it is ectopic. I'm glad you followed your gut this time, even though it was a gamble given that the other doctor was so adamant that it was ectopic. Good luck! How exciting would that be if you were pregnant again so quickly?!

They called with my results..my hcg is now 693. He asked what I wanted to do and I said I need more time to think about it, and he said that's fine. So I will come back on Monday for another HCG test.

If I were pregnant again it'd be really early. I don't know how you could tell what's going on with just the numbers... ah, so confusing. I foresee more HCG tests and probably another u/s eventually in my future...unless the numbers start dropping magically.

The other OB totally had the whole god complex thing going on. He was condescending in the way he talked to me, as well as arrogant. I could tell the minute I met him, unfortunately. This new guy is way more down-to-earth and willing to work with and listen to me.

Good thing you trusted your gut. Gotta love a mother's intuition. I hope those numbers double and you see a beautiful bean in that sac at the next ultrasound!!
