Brief Summary:
To assess the psychological impact of pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) classification pending a final diagnosis.
Detailed Description:
PUL is a syndrome of early pregnancy composed of a positive urine pregnancy test without the visualisation of a pregnancy on trans-vaginal ultrasound (TVUS). The current method for risk stratifying a PUL is via serum BhCG levels at the time of identification of PUL and after 48 hours, in order to ascertain the viability of the pregnancy. Patients and their partners need to wait for this result before a management plan can be adopted, taking at least 2-3 hours. There is a clear need for the patient care pathway to evolve in order to aid and improve the management of women classified with a PUL. By using point-of-care BhCG testing, the investigators hope to shorten the time to management. The investigators therefore propose that shortening the time interval would reduce psychological morbidity. This is a prospective cohort observational study.
