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

[maybebayb]

Am, so glad everything went well with the scan and I would certainly take the extra one just for the chance to see bean again

How did your bloods go maybe?

I told my boss today because things are getting very stressful and he's been shouting a lot to get things done, so I've been concerned about the stress levels because my doc told me to avoid all stress..He knows about my mc and ectopic and has always been very supportive and when I told him he was great and looked really chuffed for me...told me to leave early if I need to, make sure I take a break when I feel tired and any work that's stressing me too much then pass straight over to him...oh and he won't tell anyone feeling a lot better now. just one more day until the weekend yey!

Good boss! I work with my partner so he knows lol.

I actually forgot about blood results, will give the doc a call later in the arvo and ask.

Maybe-well I like in Akron, ohio. I have insurance through my husband from his work and when I go online it shows a bunch of ObGyn's but no midwives. but to be honest I will double dip too because my insurance covers it and I pay a crap ton for insurance I might as well!! but I had no idea midwives were free!

Im a little late to join but glad i found you guys!

I am 1 day post my laporascopy. Had 2 mtx shots with no luck so now i just had my right tube removed. Im still in the gas pain phase due to the surgery.

I feel inspired with your stories and still terrified for my future pregnancy. I was also diagnosed with endometriosis during the surgery. My doc told me to soon get back to ttc (after 1-2 cycles) to avoid worsen of endometriosis. He also performed hsg test for my left tube and it seemed to have a normal flow.

Congrats to all the new soon to be mommies and so happy that your beans are in the right place! Hope you all have h&h pregnancies!!!!

You may want to check what's the go in your county as from what I understand you don't get free medical in the states? I'm in New Zealand where our health system is free

Welcome Lynn I hope you have a speedy recovery, I'm not enirely sure about this but I heard when you get a mtx shot you should wait a couple cycles so the poison so to speak has left you system and your folic levels go back to normal.
Anyway I hope you get your bfp soon and the little pea gets to the right spot! Xx

Thank you! Hows your baby pea doing? Hope it is dancing inside the uterus by now!

 

[maybebayb]

I hope so too! Haven't seen the heartbeat yet so still a little nervous but I'm sure everything is fine

Make sure you take it easy Hun, grief is a strange process but you will get thru it no matter how bad you feel xx

next scan is on the 23rd, but i will run out of progesterone tablets at the end of next week and will have to go see the doc, so im hoping she will do it then haha

i dont think they have midwives in thailand...i think i will just see my gyno the whole time....might go back to the uk for the birth though, havent decided yet.

 

[c.m.c]

Lynn......welcome....ooooo I know what that gas pain is like...it's awful!!

I have friends with endometriosis and they have all got pregnant .....good news that your left tube is good....

We are all proof that you only need one tube!!!

 

[maybebayb]

Oh they gas pain is awful. So funny when I were in hospital for nearly two weeks they would ask me if I had shoulder tip pain several times daily and I never did then after the surgery I was all like I have shoulder tip pain now and they didn't care haha, was due to the gas of course. I found it ironic.

So latest bloods went from 3021 to 7517 in 72 hours, still rising beautifully :d

[sandyhen85]

No worries Sandy. I see you are in Thailand. Must be a bit harder with the whole ectopic treatment.. Im actually going back to Taiwan soon after my ectopic is thinggy resolved. Hope i still can get a good/professional care in Asia later on.

I had a mc here last August and had a nightmare on the night because I didn't know which hospital to go to and ended up at the worst one, they told me I needed a D&C but they couldn't help me, and sent me on my way 10minutes after I passed the baby/sac...oh and I had driven passed a different hospital earlier so we went there and it was great, they had a gyno called in from home and 30minutes later they were taking me down to theatre...the gyno was lovely and helped with my after treatment etc. so when I fell pregnant again this year I went back to her, she then looked after me for my ectopic. we had problems diagnosing it, but once we did she was sad for me and felt my tears etc...She is again looking after me and keeps telling me how she is happy for me, but worrying so wants me to be extra careful with everything I do...she is brilliant and I'm glad I went to that hospital....the only problem is that it's private and expensive

I have not been to Taiwan, but I hope you will be able to find a good hospital there...it's usually the private more expensive ones, but some times it's worth paying a little extra I think.

Oh my it sounds so adventurous! Good that you found a nice doctor. I heard in Asia the private ones are nice but expensive. However to have a good experienced doctor, public is the place to go to. But then again, at public places might be harder to communicate because of the language barrier. Glad that you know where to go now!

My turn to look for a good doctor soon..

 

[sandyhen85]

Not sure that is the case here in Thailand. A lady at my work has been going to a public doctor here and at 7 months she was told that the baby had a condition (im afraid i cant remember the name) that would mean her babys facial features had never developed properly and the brain as well and that she should be prepared because it would mean that her baby would probably never have the social skills/abilities to live a normal life...she was devastated. it should have been noticed at 4 months the doc said, but he just didnt see it. He then had her visit him every week and every week he told her that for sure baby had this condition and he was so sorry. She spent the last two months of her pregnancy under a lot of stress and worry and of course was so upset...she gave birth last week to a beautiful baby girl who has no problems other than two webbed toes on one foot...the doctor couldnt have been more wrong...the other lady i work with thats pregnant has since left her public doctors and paid to be seen at a private one. It has certainly put me off the public ones here too.

Oh my! What a terrible doctor! im soeechless. Very confused with clinics in asia now!

Sandy I spent 3 nights in a hospital in Bangkok when on honeymoon...but I assume it was private as I had insurance ...I thought they were good but as you say they're different ones....can't believe what happened your friend!

Fingers crossed you get much better care very soon

 

[sandyhen85]

The hospital I go to here is great, it was the first one I went to last August that was awful, it was my own fault really because oh drove by one and said right lets go here its right next to our house anyway and I said no, I'm sure that's the one I've been told to avoid, so we carried on driving and ended up at an international one and I said yes, I think this is good...turns out I got them mixed up, the first one was the good one and the second was the one you should avoid oops. after the doc told me he couldn't help me I had to go elsewhere we just went straight to the first one which is where I still go now.

C.m.c if you had your own private room then you were more than likely in a private hospital which are by far so much better...this is what I go to now, I don't care if it costs extra. the lady at my work was going to a public one where treatment etc was free or very very cheap. ie it cost her 10usd to give birth wheres it will cost me 1000usd in the hospital im going to. I would not trust the public ones unless it was something very minor like I cut my finger.

Did you spend your whole honeymoon in Thailand c.m.c ? where did you go?

My best advise would be to go see a doctor and ask questions you already know the answers to, talk about your experience and see if they come up with the information you have already been given, that way you know if they know what they are talking about...the first hospital I went to last year I said I have pcos and they didn't know what I was talking about, when I saw the gyno at the second it was one of the first things I said to her and she knew exactly what it was, so I knew I was in good hands...I hope that helps

I spent it in Bangkok for a week or so...got ill and went to the seventh day Adventist hospital I think it was.....I was meant to go to Phuket but missed all our flights etc so we flew back home after I got out of hospital.....and went to Galway.....which isn't as fun but it's one of my fav places in the world !

We planned to go back but just haven't got around to it yet! I will get to the islands one day............il defo go November time not June next time.
