buddy wanted - ttc after ectopic surgery to remove a tube or more

[Amcolecchi]

Sandyhen-Welcome! Sometimes it's nice to get a break, you know? As for tender boobs I never got tender boobs till I was pregnant each time...so maybe it's a good sign When are you testing?

 

[sandyhen85]

Well Im only 9dpo today, but couldnt resist testing this morning...got a bfn, but i tested because my temp spiked again...on average my temp is the low side of 96 but its just below 98now and was 97.5 for a few days before today. These are the highest ive had in the 3months ive been temping...i know its super early still though. Today my stomach feels full of gas, again a symptom i had before and im feeling some pressure in the pelvic area...i dont want to get my hopes up, but keeping everything crossed. how is everyone else doing today?

 

[Amcolecchi]

Sandy-I tested at 10 DPO and got a BFN and I had slight cramping and then at 14 DPO got my BFP! So it's definitely still early!!! FX for you!!

That's really good to know thank you...did you have any other symptoms around this point? The only symptoms I had the last two times were tender breasts and the smell/taste of garlic made me gag. The last time on 12dpo i also felt really faint when i was at work, because i had been so busy and had forgotten to eat, i had the same thing before my mc last year, so knew to test last time (ectopic) I've been sensible these past 2 months, making sure i eat plenty each day although today i woke up early at 10am starving and have been eating all day (i work 2pm-10:30pm so wake up about 1pm each day and normally don't eat until about 4pm because I'm not a fan of eating too early, so being woken at 10am is new to me too) anyone else get really hungry at this point? Might drop into the two and ask there too.

Thanks again amcolecchi

Sandy-wow garlic smell? That's something I have never heard before! I have woken up hungry before too..I try to eat like Breakfast, snack, lunch, sometimes a snack and dinner and a small snack..this makes me feel less sick too! My only other symptoms is peeing ALL THE TIME! Like no joke I went pee came back and not even 5 minutes later I had to pee again hahaa...FX for you!!!! I am hoping you get ur BFP!! I go to my u/s next week and I am petrified it is ectopic again...so I am hoping and praying it is not!!

 

[sandyhen85]

Haha garlic, yeh! I didn't know I was pregnant with my mc, but when i think of the odd things that kept happening that should have signalled something in my brain, the smell of garlic on a guys breath at work making me want to vomit and pass out is something that stands out strong in my brain..2nd time around, my other half got fried chicken for dinner one night and it tasted like it had been soaked in garlic. He buys fried chicken all the time, so I asked why he had bought it from some place new this time, but he said he hadnt. I said it tastes like its been soaked in garlic this time and he said it always tastes like this...I couldnt eat it and knew something was up at that point. That was the Thursday I think and I got my bfp on the Monday which I think was 12dpo but it was possibly 13, because it was ectopic I never got dates confirmed.

Never really experienced the peeing thing, sounds like a nightmare though haha I hope it calms down soon for you. I fully understand how youre felling now prior to your u/s, I think it's a worry every woman in our shoes will experience once they get another bfp...I have my FX'd for you that everything is fine this time around and I will be keeping an eye out for updates on here.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Sandy-ya I do the same thing! I look back and i'm like you know I had a lot of cramping, I thought cramping was normal and it is on and off but not all the time, you know? Garlic is so funny! Well hopefully u do get ur bfp this time since you have no garlic smell!!! KMFX for you too!!!

 

[sandyhen85]

Whoop whoop got a bfp on Sunday at 11dpo and blood confirmed my hcg is at 86.50 today 13dpo, now for the 48hour testing to check they double and scan in 2weeks - fingers crossed it will all be ok, so far I feel different to last time, and hcg was 18 at this point with the ectopic so I really am praying this is it. Any news with anyone else?

 

[c.m.c]

Sandy that's amazing news...congrats!!! Yeah for us one tubers!!

 

[sandyhen85]

Thanks c.m.c, we were very lucky because i ovulated 4days early on cd10 which was only 2days after my p stopped. on cd14 i realised my temps showed ovulation on cd10 and i worked out that we had dtd once before and once the day of o..I really thought I didn't have a chance because of it...there is a god

how is everything going with you so far, I saw on another thread you have your scan this week...fingers crossed for you x x

 

[c.m.c]

It's funny my BFP month was an early O too. I thought I'd be out!!

Yes scan tomorrow. Bit scary but I suppose that's understandable. How are you feeling so far?

Hi, ladies--

I was hoping I could join your thread. I was on here (baby and bump) last fall after my first ectopic treated with Methotrexate (no surgery). I waited three months and tried again and got pregnant on my first try. Soon after, they saw I had ovulated from both sides and saw one baby in the uterus (with a heartbeat) and one baby in my tube. Heterotopic pregnancy. I had emergency surgery to remove my left tube and the baby. They said my right tube looked great. I continued to carry my baby for another 9 weeks. He was healthy and growing at both my 9 week scan and my 12 week scan. At my 16 week appointment, he no longer had a heartbeat. I was devasted. I've now lost 3 babies in 9 months.

We weren't sure if it's because I had to have the surgery that took his life, or the fact that they tested me for stuff and found out I have Factor V Leiden, which means my blood clots more easily than others. (Even though I've had two live babies in 2007 and 2009).

So, now I only have one tube. We actively tried last month (2nd period after my loss), but I got a BFN I had my third period since my loss on August 9th and I'm just about to O.

I'm scared I won't get pregnant again with only one tube, but your stories are SO encouraging!!!

I've had 7 pregnancies. 1 and 2 were early miscarriages, #3 was my DD, #4 was my DS, #5 was my ectopic, and #6 and 7 were my twins (heterotopic). I'm hoping for one more take home baby!!!

c.m.c how odd that we were both early, maybe everyone should be dtd early lol good luck today though, ill be keeping everything crossed for you

so far had some minor symptoms come and go but do have majorly sore boobs which was wat had me testing so early, cramping the last few days, a little more hungry and a cold that wont go away...i want more symptons tho for piece of mind...keep checking my temp is high and that my boobs still hurt...i know tat once ive had a few betas the worrying will calm slightly and then more so after the first scan. how about you, how are you feeling?

Alliek welcome and i am so sorry for your losses. the ladies here are all great. i felt exactly the same as you after two cycles where i couldnt pinpoint ovulation at all then this last cycle i ovulated straight after my p finished and managed to catch it 4.5 months after my op so good luck and as hard as it is, try to stay positive x x

 

[c.m.c]

i will post a pic later, im just nipping on here very quickly. had a scan today. there was a second sac that never developed. but thankfully there was a little bean with a hearbeat in the other, larger good sac!!!

will catch up with you all when i get home.

welcome allie...so sorry for your losses...i had a heterotopic too...its soooo rare!! did you have fertility treatment? usualy only happens then but i was just a random one who had it.

hope you get your bfp soon fx for you!!!!

 

[AllieK]

Hi guys! Thanks for the welcome! CMC-- No, I had NO fertility treatments. I've always gotten pregnant very very easily (1st try). I go to a major university hospital and they were all shocked. All of the specialists were discussing me because I was a woman who naturally conceived heterotopic twins! One said because I conceived naturally, it was really more like 1 in 100,000 chance instead of 1 in 30,000!

So you and I are the same. Last October, I had my first ectopic. Ultrasound showed that I ovulated from both ovaries that time as well! We never saw a second baby that time, though. I guess my body likes dropping two eggs at once!!

Congrats on all your BFPs! I really hope I can follow you. I think I just ovulated yesterday or today. Fx!!!

 

[c.m.c]

Allie I'm the same...dr was so shocked. There was 2 sacs this time too so looks like I fire out 2 too!!

Oooooo FX for u this month!!!

 

[AllieK]

Thanks, CMC. I so desperately want a BFP!

So nervous about my one tube left. I hope it gets the job done!

 

[c.m.c]

As my hubby says We were given 2 tubes for a reason. I got my BFP 6 weeks after surgery so I ave a good feeling for u!!!

Did you know that if you O from your tubeless side the other tube can still brush close enough past to get the egg anyway? Unreal what our bodies are capable of

 

[Amcolecchi]

CMC-I did know that because I ovulated from my right side and my left tube caught is and that's when I had the ectopic! And I know I ovulated from the right side because we did an IUI then!!! This when when I got prego it was naturally so I am hoping that's on our side!! I go in 3 hours for my u/s ...I am so nervous I want to puke and I am sooo afraid to go! lol

 

[sandyhen85]

good luck today am....will be thinking of you. cmc so glad your scan went well the other day. my doc also told me about your tubes being able to catch eggs from the ovary on the other side.. pretty sure i ovulated on the side with the tube this time and caught it. had my beta done at 11:55pm tuesday night (13dpo) and levels were 86.50 and then 35hours later they were 163.84 so 9shy of being double but wasnt 48hours so doc was happy. shes still concerned about me tho so said to take extra rest etc over the next couple of weeks until we can scan...have another beta next tuesday so fingers crossed for that. what symptoms have you ladies had so far? mine are coming, going and then coming again at the mo lol
