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

[maybebayb]

Oh yes don't even get started on how painful ovulation was after the surgery! I could always feel o pains but after the op it was like they were on steroids!
This weekend has gone surprisingly fast, yesterday I were so tired, had a great arvo nap for a few hours lol, I could get used to this

Can't wait for bloods tomorrow, I am thinking I should be at around 2000, maybe a bit less.
I can't have scan on Monday really as me and the other half are self employed and it's our other staffers day off so we both have to be at work, Tuesdays are rather busy too so I think Wednesday will suit if my doctor agrees to it. Can't freaking wait!

Do you know if you always get bleeding with ectopics? I havn't had any thank god so I am hoping it's a good sign. Last time I had a wee bleed the day I were due for AF and I thought I were having a chemical but then bloods a few days later showed I were pregnant. They were 77 I recall at 15 dpo and then only 117 at 17dpo but then rose to 350 at 19dpo. Was in hospital before I made it to the next betas with bleeding and pain, oh the pain, it was horrific!

How is everyone feeling today?

Not sure if bleeding is always present in ectopics, I had hcg levels that weren't doubling and old blood, but no pain...even the day they rushed me in for surgery and the doc was jabbing me where the baby was in the tube I was fine, just sciatic nerve pain right by my groin for 2 days earlier on that week...she said I must have a high pain threshold...don't think she would say that if she had seen me during my mc last year though, that was pure agony...fever, vomiting, contractions, waters breaking, bleeding...THE LOT!! I'm glad I didn't have to go through pain again with the ectopic, it sounds just as bad if not worse for a rupture.

Keep us updated on your numbers tomorrow, but all of yours have doubled, so I really think you're safe this time which is fantastic. Glad to hear your Weekend is going quick. will you be up to much today? So far...yesterday proper dragged for me, but hoping today will go quicker...just chilling at home with oh and a bunch of movies. it's our 3 year anniversary tomorrow and we have the scan, so I'm hoping for a lovely present

How is everyone else's weekend going?

I think spotting is normal with ectopics but I didn't have tht....just had excruciating pain! Even up my backside sorry tmi!!!

Nothing's normal really...


But I do know that ectopics very very very rarely double the HCG

What I took as a good sign this time was an early positive.

With my ectopic my preg test was still neg even the day after AF didn't show.....took about 3 days post AF due for a faint positive.


Wednesday ...my FX for the scan...at least you'll be 5 and a half weeks so you could get more reassurance than a Monday scan!

 

[maybebayb]

It's so hard to not over analyze everything! I finally found some research that says only 6.4% of ectopics will have normal hcg rises so the chances of an IUP are with me


its nearly bed time here so blood tests in less than 12 hours, eeeee, never been so excited to be stabbed before haha

will let you girls know when I get results, hopefully before the end of the day!

 

[maybebayb]

sandyhen.. so excited for your ultrasound today! can't wait to hear all about it, sending you positive vibes x

 

[sandyhen85]

Well, just had my scan...good news, sac is in the uterus not my tubes so super happy. Doc measured the sac as 5w3d which is 3 more than she was saying and 2 less than what I was saying, so its kind of meeting in the middle we only saw the yolk sac though, no fetal pole...is this ok for 5w3d, I thought a pole should have been seen? Doc didn't seem worried, but she said we should wait 3 weeks until the next one...not sure how ill get through 21 days if a pole should have been seen

 

[maybebayb]

Yay that is great news sandy! I'm not entirely sure about the foetal pole thing but I'm pretty sure it doesn't usually appear until around 6 weeks. I'm having my scan in he morning! I wanted to do it on Wednesday but the booking lady was being a bitch and said I had to take the first available appointment as its an urgent scan, like wtf!! Weird.

So I'm excited and nervous at the same time . Wish I could have a nice stiff drink to take the egde off lol.



I'm so happy for you sandy! Now onto the next waiting game

 

[sandyhen85]

ohhh I thought it should appear at 5weeks so was worrying...I hope its 6weeks....she really scared me at one point when she measured it as 4w1d but then she did it again and it came up 5w3d....we should be roughly the same maybebayb so maybe i can compare my scan to yours tomorrow....thats a shame you couldnt get it on wednesday, i swear half the nurses/people pregnant women have to deal with at the doctors office are horrible to us, its like they dont understand at all.

I was super nervous today, its oh and my 3year anniversary and yet I barely said a word to him until after the scan...feeling guilty now, but was scared so i hope he understands.

Good luck for the morning, will be keeping you in my thoughts and cant wait to hear how it goes....just close your eyes and imagine youre having that stiff drink x x

 

[maybebayb]

Did you have a hcg draw the day of the scan? I haven't even got my bloods back yet but wanted to book in a scan before the place closed for the night thinking I could get a good time for Wednesday! So not even sure if I am over 2000 yet :/

13 hours to go but who's counting. I should be measuring 5+1 if I've got my o date right ...

 

[sandyhen85]

no, she told me not to get my bloods done because a scan would tell her more, i would have to be over 2000though because otherwise my levels havent doubled in a week...let us know once you get yours back fingers crossed for you x

 

[c.m.c]

Hi ladies...little update. Got a scan today good heartbeat seen

 

[sandyhen85]

That's great cmc really glad everything is going well....was just about to upload my scan as I just got home from work....just the sac and yolk sac, but it's still amazing to see it right when will your next scan be?

 

[c.m.c]

Sandy that's fab news for u too.....I only saw a sac at 5 weeks o that's great

 

[sandyhen85]

5w3d due May 2nd 3weeks until the next scan and I can't wait

 

[c.m.c]

Fab pic sandy!! When do u go back?

 

[sandyhen85]

Not until the 23rd, so ill be 8w3d then...it's going to drive me insane, I want to see the HB. but I am so relieved its in the right place this time. How about you, is this your last scan before 12weeks or will you go again before then?

 

[c.m.c]

Mmmm I'm sure il have another sneaky one before then lol


I don't have my appt date yet...can't wait for it to arrive.

 

[sandyhen85]

Lol I don't blame you at all, if I could have a sneaky one then I would too...no idea how I'm gonna do this 3 week wait, we still haven't told anyone yet either so it's a massive secret so just doesn't seem real yet.

 

[c.m.c]

FX 3 weeks will fly....though I'm do impatient so I know how u feel!!

I know we are the same....hoping to tell family at 12 weeks, even my mum who I see everyday doesn't know yet

 

[sandyhen85]

Oh wow how have you managed to keep it from her when you see her everyday? I haven't seen my family for over a year and just speaking to my mum and sister on the phone last week was so hard to not tell them.

How have your symptoms been, mine seem to be coming and going, it worries me for a day and then they come bk and I'm fine again.
