I need some help getting through this, I am scared. I am now sitting at 20mm, uterine lining is perfect and estrogen is rising. They are likely inducing ovulation tomorrow morning if I am not surging on my own from my bloodwork today. IUI is 95% going to be on Friday. I met with my doctor this morning and all along I was thinking the ectopic was on my right side, but it was actually the left side where I had the small ovarian cyst and small amount of fluid in my tube. I had the pain and pressure in my right side which my doctor says its a better indicator that it was actually in my right tube and not the left. Because they didn't officially see a mass, they can't confirm exactly where it was located. She told me this morning the magic number is 3 months from the time your beta hcg reaches 0, which is approx 2 weeks away. She said 2 weeks makes no real difference in the grand scheme of things but the longer you wait, the more your tube heals. The main reason for ectopics is usually from some underlying adhesion or damage in your tube but mine are open they just have no real way of ensuring they are healthy.
All I can do is hope and pray this does not happen to me again. If I have underlying tubal damage there is nothing 6 months to a year will even help, it's probably just the way it is. If this doesnt work and I have another ectopic, IVF is pretty much our only option and we would not go that route. I am so scared this is going to fail and it will be the end of the road for us. I am praying with everything I am that if I do get pregnant, the bean makes its way to my uterus.
