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

[maybebayb]

Oh I was shit scared! Especially since I were having the same pains as my ectopic but it turns out that was just scar tissue stretching. Are you having hcgs done? Even though mine were rising correctly It still didn't really put my mind at ease lol. When is your scan?

Yup 18 weeks tomorrow! It's going so slow ha, finding out the gender on 10 December so not long to go eeeek

 

[ljsmummy]

Hopefully that's all it is.Im just so worried as its my good side that's now hurting. Ive had bloods done and all ok,but like you it doesnt make me feel any better!my scan is booked for Wednesday,ive never been so scared.It would just be my luck to have another ectopic and have to lose my one tube.i also know im going to cry before I even get scanned,I get tearful just thinking about it!so embarrassing.

Wow that seems like its gone really fast to me! Although I can imagine how slow it is for you!how exciting finding out the gender,that will be here before you know it!so glad its all going well,you were one of my inspirations after my surgery!xx

Hey ljs,

I think it will most likey just be everything stretching although i can imagine you will be a complete nervous wreck until you see the ultrasound x

I will look out for your update on wed but im sure you will be fine xx

 

[squeak01]

It feels good to know I'm not alone. I'm ttc now n I don't even know where to start. I was 5 weeks when I lost a baby. I heard that people get pregnant a couple months after the surgery but I haven't had any luck.

Hey maybe,

So sorry for your loss x you have come to the right place! Lots of ladies on this board who are still ttc and some who prove its possible xx How long ago was your surgery, and have your cycles been fairly regular since? X

 

[ladyluck84]

Congratulations ljs! Well day 12 and it's the first month I have had EWCM in months so feeling positive. Has anyone tried the fertility gels like preseed?

 

[squeak01]

Hey ladyluck,

Sounds promising x

I havent had any personal experience with preseed but a friend of mine was struggling and fell preg after 3 cycles of using preseed x

 

[maybebayb]

Hey Ladyluck, when I fell pregnant with the ectopic I inserted presseed 20 min before doing the deed and with this pregnancy I also did the same, it's the only 2 times I used it in that way and I don't know if it's a coincidence I fell pregnant both times or not! Certainly worth a try

Squeak, how you feeling? Docs visit soon. Yay will be peace of mind

 

[ladyluck84]

Well I'm going to give it a go this week!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Lj- I was the exact same way when I found out I was pregnant again. My good side hurt and I was so worked up when I went to get the ultrasound I almost passed out! The doctor and my husband had to lay me down and get me juice!!! Then when I saw the little bean on the screen I was so happy!!! So don't worry your body can be just stretching...I still cramp from time to time on the left and right side, since we have had an ectopic before every little twinge we feel we freak out, it's totally normal!!!

Maybe-wow 18 weeks already, that is awesome!!! I am 21 weeks now I have an anterior placenta which sucks because I feel flutters but infrequent, I wish I could feel them all the time!!!

Lady-we use preseed! It's very safe to use! We still use it from time to time! Definitely recommend it

 

[maybebayb]

Oh that sux am about the placenta, I am feeling heaps of movement now, started at 16 weeks but were infrequent but since Saturday the bub has been going nuts and feel them all the time. It's so wonderful . Are you going to find out the gender?


Good luck lj for your scan today!! Yes I still get the odd pain too, the first 8 weeks of pregnancy I were getting a lot of ectopicy type pain and on both sides. Can't wait to her your news

Hi Ladies. I posted on here several months ago right when I was diagnosed with my ectopic pregnancy. I am finally ready to start TTC (three months post methotrexate and nearly 12 weeks post tube removal surgery). It's certainly stirring up a lot of the emotions of loss that I experienced this fall now that I'm back to thinking about TTC, but I'm ready and so is my husband.

I should ovulate next week. I am a little worried about decreased fertility since I lost the tube. It seems like a lot of ladies on this thread have successfully conceived (YAY - CONGRATS!!). How many cycles did it take you to conceive post ectopic?

Squeak, how was the doc???

 

[LynnC]

miss, welcome back!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Hey girl!!! Yayy for TTC again! We actually don't get decreased fertility, I mean I know we only have one tube but I actually conceived from ovulating from the tube I didn't have and my other tube caught it! So it can happen! It took me 8 weeks after my surgery to get a period and then we were extremely lucky because we started trying right then and there and got pregnant the first time. And I am 21 weeks pregnant now and still worry everyday, so don't feel bad about worrying it is totally normal for ladies who have had an ectopic! Try to have fun when trying, when we did the deed we were on vacation so for us we weren't really thinking about it we just needed to get away from everything that happened, you know? Good luck hun and we are here for you!

LJ, how was your scan hun?

 

[missaria]

Thanks ladies! That's very encouraging!

Maybe this is a dumb question... how do I know which side I'm ovulating on? Do you just feel it? B/c I actually thought I was ovulating on my left side the month I got pregnant, but the ectopic was actually in my right tube. Is there a way to know for sure which side you ovulate from on a given month?

The only way you can really tell for sure is if you have a scan just before ovulation. There is a chance that your right tube picked up the egg from your left ovary so you may of ovulated on the left like you thought. I Only have one ovary so I know which side I ovulate from lol. I think I concieved this time by my r
Left tube picking up the egg from my right ovary but I can't be sure

Ahh that makes sense - thanks!
