Thanks ladies, turning into a really long day. Radiologist thinks there is still something there, which is too small for heartbeat, but I do also have cysts which could be the problem. I am actually bleeding freely now while waiting to discuss with ob/gyn. Not looking good.
Early pregnancy advice please

You can never be too careful with things like that. Good luck!

Scrub Boracay, have just been informed that it might be an ectopic pregnancy and too dangerous to fly. They can't confirm this, or whether I've lost the baby or not. Need blood tests over the next 3 days, with results on Monday. Talk about insult to injury!
Make that now a long SHITTY day !

Is it possible to discharge (are you admitted?) and to go to a private obgyn? They may have better scanning equipment and can give you a definite answer sooner... I would try to get an emergency appointment at Dr Lam at the HK prenatal diagnostic clinic as you need someone with top notch equipment, but he should definitely be able to tell more than the public hospital via ultrasound...
All the best...

Thanks Nicole, I thought that earlier BUT as I am so early (5+5 max) I don't think anyone would see anything better. in fact when I talked to a private doctor's receptionist yesterday (before bleeding worsened) she said that it was way too early for an ultrasound. I've also got similar feedback from a UK baby forum. As to the ectopic thing - the doctor said even if it wasn't that it was still a suspicious mass which could cause a rupture. The radiologist called a colleague for a second opinion.
Satay Sue, I am really sorry to hear about what you're going through. I had a suspected ectopic pregnancy in Hong Kong and it should be treated as an emergency situation because if it is ectopic you may need emergency surgery. It shouldn't be something that you have to wait days to have checked into. In fact, I went to the A&E ward at a local hospital because I was having heavy bleeding when I was pregnant and because they couldn't locate the baby they actually ordered an ambulance to transfer me to a bigger hospital and I was put at the front of the line for treatment. So, it seems strange to me that they're making you wait and then do blood tests that will take three days? I had my blood tested several times almost immediately. Be very careful with this.
We're all here for you and I'll pray for you as you go through this.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry you went through all that. Were you in pain? I haven't had any pain or cramps (it has felt taut in the area, like before a period) which is making me sceptical. The bleeding is now like a period though.
