Well I went in for a blood test because I thought I was going to start a new I.U.I. session and I had a pregnancy level showing up. I was still bleeding. I went back two days later and the numbers had doubled. Then that following Monday the numbers had dropped. The bleeding has lightened up, but I am still bleeding. My numbers are still remaining around 30. I had an ultra sound yesterday and the said that the lining look fine, my ovaries looked fine. They did however see a small sac of fluid behind my uterious (which is tilted) They could not see my tubes. So I am getting an injection today and will be getting blood tests to see if the level goes to 2 or zero which is normal.

Where is it? Can I get pregnant again? Will I have a healthy pregnancy and birth? Is this because if the I.U.I.? I am 30 years old, and healthy.

You have either had a spontaneous pregnancy loss with some residual pregnancy tissue remaining within the uterus or you had a pregnancy in your tube. Either way, it sounds as though they have given you methotrexate, which will take care of things. You will eventually get a spontaneous period again and then you will be good to go... Lynn
