My EPU were really good. When I tested positive I felt a bit off as my left side ovary and back were slightly hurting so I contacted my gp and they referred me to my EPU. My EPU said they couldn’t detect my pregnancy and I was 5 weeks so diagnosed me with “PUL” pregnancy in unknown location. They told me to come back in two days for more bloods and scans and same thing again until like day 6 where I was 6 weeks pregnant they found the embryo I in my fallopian tube. My bloods were not high enough for medication or surgery and the consultant said we’d like to take the natural management route first. They called me every four days and gradually my ECG was dropping after they saw it drop they called me in weekly until it went to 0 then they discharged me. They also said to me if I fall pregnant again to come straight to them with no appointments to get myself checked. Honestly the experience itself was traumatic but my EPU were amazing from nurses to head nurse to consultant.
Based on what you are saying they did neglect you. They should have called you back until the HCG went zero and done scans on until that point. They should not have discharged your without your HCG dropping to zero that’s a requirement. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this.
Sorry you’re going through this. I had scan and a blood test to confirm my levels were dropping and have been simply sent on my way and told I should be negative on a test in 2 weeks time. No support offered or leaflets or anything. She simply told me I looked like I was taking it/doing well.
