Hello!
After trying for over a year and a half, me and my husband found out that I was pregnant in the ER on June 15th when I was having some unusual bleeding and severe cramps. Unfortunately, it was ectopic, and I had to go into surgery out of fear that it would rupture. While in surgery they also found stage 1 endomitriosis on the back of my uterus. I was then convinced this was the reason for both the ectopic and for how long it took us to conceive. The whole thing was very traumatizing.
But, with the support of the OBGYN who performed my surgery, we decided to get all of our fertility testing done here and now, even though we were moving October 24th this year.
So, over the course the summer, I had blood work done, was put on a low dose of thyroid medication, and had an HSG test done (OWCH!).
The HSG came back normal. There were no blockages or abnormalities, though they did say my uterus had a slight dip in it, but that it was a variation of normal.
Then we got the news that Hubby's sperm count was on the low side. My OBGYN seemed convinced that the only way we would conceive was through IVF.
So, once we got the green light that everything was okay, we ditched the condoms. Not because we expected to get pregnant this cycle, but because we expected I wouldn't, and whats the point of buying expensive (I have to use lambskin) condoms if you don't need them?
Well. Apparently, all my baby dust has been saved over the course of us TTC because I've gotten 4 BFPs over the past 3 days. And they just keep getting darker, and darker. And I'm only 1 day late now. It was not the plan to get pregnant this cycle. Why would I want to be pregnant the month we move across country?
Not to mention, I now am fearing the worst. I've read and been told the statistics about pregnancy after ectopics.
I was 3-4 weeks when I was diagnosed with the ectopic in June. How soon can they tell me my baby and me are okay now? I'm calling the OBGYN's office this morning, but what more can they even do for me this early other than blood work? I don't want to stress. I want to be a stress free vessel for my little sticky bean. But it's hard.
Edit: Well I went to the women's clinic, and what a load of crap. All they are doing is a urine test, which I've done 4 of already. And after that they said they can't do anything for me until we get to our new base in Idaho! That won't be till the 30th at the soonest, and lord knows I won't be able to get in right away. Great. I don't know what to do anymore.
