ectopic pregnancy

crazylilth1ng · Feb 28th, 2011, 09:50 AM

I BD 11 days post op and we were fine. No pain, no discomfort... just good old sex

We are NOT waiting at all to try again, just BDing and seeing what happens. We have decided to not chart for a while and just "go at it" in the hope of conceiving. Still, I know myself and will sneakily chart after the first AF, no point now as who knows WHERE I am cycle wise?????

I am 19 days post op now... wounds healed except one TINY scab and all set to try again

The BDing question is good- I was wondering the same thing. I have a post-op appointment for next week and haven't had many questions answered up to now. All I have is my post-op discharge papers to go by as far as if I can do things like BD, take a bath, or when I can try to conceive again. I really want to take a bath but my discharge papers say not to do it for a couple weeks- although I don't know if it's related to my ectopic or the large cyst they drained on my other ovary.

Anyway, it's nice to hear how others are doing that have gone through the same thing. I feel like some people just don't understand what I'm going through- some of my family have not even said a single word about it even though I know that they know about the situation. I can't just pretend that it didn't happen- my pain won't just disappear. Sorry- just venting.

I'm curious to hear what your doctors have told you about when you can try to conceive again.

Ive been bathing since 4 days post op, I was told that was fine. Just had to be careful not to let the wounds soak in the water (not a problem for me any way as i dont have deep baths).

I will let you know what my doc says tomorrow about ttc again, Im going to make an appointment first thing we didnt get much info at all about things. Im still getting brown discharge 15 days post op so I need to ask about that, also still have plastic type stitches sticking out of both wounds and Im not to happy with how the right side is healing , the skin is puckered and it doesnt look a clean line like the other side.
Im just frustrated now because other than little niggly things like that I feel fine and just want to

lol, but dont want to risk it whilst getting this brown discharge incase of infection.

I just had my post-op appointment and am kind of sad to hear that my doctor wants me to wait 3 cycles before trying to have another child. I keep going back and forth whether I want to try to concieve again this year, but I think deep in my heart I do want to get pregnant soon. My doctor did say that he generally says 3 months for every miscarriage and ectopic for reasons of healing. It seems like it is more for emotional healing. Would my next pregnancy be at any real risk if I did get pregnant after one cycle? Although it took 6 months for me to get pregnant again after my miscarriage- I feel like what's the harm in trying if it's probably going to take a while.

Hi Peanutbear, yes I think they say this to make sure you have healed emotionally.
Obviously it's important that you have healed ohysically too after the op, however my gyno came to see me after my operation to explain I'd lost my right tube but my left was fine, he said I could try straight away if I felt up to it, probably because I'm 37 with 5 m/c's, but he said as long as I was in no pain there would be nothing to stop me, and I heard only yesterday on here of a girl that got pg the first month after her ectopic.

It's important to make sure you're ready but tbh I'm on the wrong side of crazy and the thought of getting my BFP soon is the only thing keeping me going.

Whatever you decide I hope you get your BFP soon and wish you a speedy recovery.

C&J, just wanted to say, I also have plastic stitch protruding from left incision, I went to see nurse a couple of weeks ago who trimmed it, but it's still there. I will be asking my specialist at the hospital about this on Weds and will keep you posted xxx.

Well I went to see my doctor last monday and I asked her when we can try again and she said whenever we want

she said it was quite a dated opinion to wait 3 months. Was so happy when she said that because I just cant wait to get back to it

Finally had some action too

. Wound wise still have stitches sticking out of wound but doc did say they are dissolvable and I can see that they are dissolving now. I ovulated yesterday from my good side and I have to say I didnt have any of the bad ov pains that I used to get from my right side. So I now know I should come on in the next 2 weeks.

I am having some weird pains myself right now, not sure if it's period pain or perhaps something else. I'm sure it's probably just my period, just wish it would hurry up so I can get going again too

I just had surgery for an ectopic on Mar 15. At first my only symptom was some spotting. Other than that I just felt pregnant. Constipation, fatigue, cramps, nausea, and feeling light-headed are all normal pregnancy symptoms. They only discovered it was ectopic at my first u/s. They gave me a shot of methotrexate right away, but still I felt fine. Then two days after the shot I suddenly had strong cramps. I went to the hospital and turns out it had ruptured. Doc did laparoscopy surgery and I felt fine again. Then a few days later I had to go back to the ER because of severe cramping again, turns out I had internal bleeding. Now, during my recovery, I feel dizzy, nauseous, tired, sore, and I have the worst headache ever all-day, everyday.
I hope you are not having an ectopic. It is terrible. I feel worse then I felt after my c-section. I will pray for you. God Bless!
