Hi everyone, I found out around 2 weeks ago that I'm pregnant. I confirmed it was a CB digital saying 1-2 weeks, then a week later (8 days ago) my next one said 2-3. I started having a few cramps so referred myself yesterday to the EPU. According to my LMP I'm exactly 6 weeks as of yesterday, but I have irregular cycles. They did an internal ultrasound, and said the lining of my womb is thick but said it was empty. She showed me the screen and it looked like a black jelly bean in my womb with nothing inside it. My right ovary was fine but couldn't see my left one due to my bowel being in the way. She said she couldn't rule put ectopic because of not being able to see my ovary but it could just be too early. I should add I have had NO bleeding or spotting. She has said I have a pregnancy in an unknown location. So they took my bloods, I have to go back for my second scan tomorrow and more bloods. I have just got my results and my HCG in 5178 is that normal? And has anyone had a good outcome with PUL?

Hey Hun,


It could be that you ovulated late and may not be 6 weeks yet. it’s usually a good sign when the lining of the womb is thickened. When they did your vaginal ultrasound they should have seen the gastation sac which might be the jelly bean you seen which is visible at about 5 weeks. I was 6 weeks and 6 days before I seen a baby in the sac and it’s heartbeat!

I got a scan done at 4/5 weeks which they told me they couldn’t see anything in the sac so they advised it might have been a miscarriage or a unknown pregnancy location. Which prompted me to book a private scan at 6 weeks and 6 days because I was mortified and couldn’t believe that something was wrong when I haven’t bled or had any symptoms.

There is a massive HCG range during pregnancy so you might get people being higher or lower than you! So don’t worry about it too much as everyone is different!

But don’t loose hope hun! I remember being so mortified when they told me there was nothing there.

If your HCG hasn’t dropped tomorrow its a good sign! And it might be worth waiting atleast a week before getting another scan to make sure they can see something.

Hope that helped! Xx

Hi thank you for replying. I'm just so scared as I have pain in my left low down, just random shooting sharp pains. This is so scary. I didn't have any of this when I was pregnant with my little girl xx

Hi I went back to the EPU yesterday so worried and the midwife wasn't concerned at all by my HCG levels and progesterone, she scanned me and we saw the yolk sac and she put me at 5 weeks 😊 xx

Hi, I know its been a long time but I thought I'd update as I know its annoying when you don't see an outcome on a post!


This pregnancy continued and then at 11 weeks 2 days I had a bleed, went for a scan the next day and baby was measuring 9 weeks with no heartbeat. I opted for the surgery, but miscarried naturally at home 2 days later. Went for another scan the next morning and took what I passed with me, midwife confirmed what I took in to her was the sac with baby and placenta fully intact, on the scan my womb was empty. I bled heavily for around 6 days.


Then in November of 2020 that same year, I found out I was pregnant again. No bleeds, no early scans, as I saod to myself, what will be will be (I was so anxious) then my pregnancy went perfectly. I went into labour on 03/08/2021 and gave birth to our perfect and healthy 2nd baby girl on 04/08/2021, right on her due date.


My point of this reply is to hopefully keep other parents spirits up. And that, fingers crossed you all get your babies.
