Miscarriage

I'm 5-6 weeks, but had a miscarriage. This is my first pregnancy and I'm quite lost. Diagnosed with miscarriage, PUL or ectopic. They couldn't find the sac neither can they find anything in the fallopian tubes. But won't rule out ectopic yet. Was told by the doctor to go back to take a HCG test next week to confirm if it's a complete miscarriage. Still bleeding, am on the second day already. Am also experiencing headache and cramps still. Is it normal? What should I do if it's a confirmed miscarriage? Since it's 5-6 weeks, do I have to go through confinement? Or given MC?

Hugs. I had a PUL my first pregnancy too. If your hcg doesn’t decrease and still cannot locate the sac, there’s risk of ectopic pregnancy at the Fallopian tubes which is not good. I had to take methrotrexate injections to abort. If your hcg drops, then continue to monitor until it’s gone and that you have menses bleeding which will pass out the sac. Cramps headache is normal, can take paracetamol. Ask for MC if too painful for you. Yes, can also do a mini confinement to help recovery.

I’m not sure, but they cannot confirm it isn’t unless they find the sac or your hcg drops to zero.
