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

[c.m.c]

With the ectopic I was kinda dull pain sore from the start. Had unbelievable excruciating pain at 6 weeks which lasted about 9 hrs....had a scan and we saw baby in uterus but lots of fluid in womb so figured it was ruptured ovarian cyst.

Then the pain was always still dull but there, shooting pains up my backside and sore to sit...then a week later after the M.c had excruciating pain again and collapsed. Tbh I never had pain at any one side! I Did have pain under my ribs and right shoulder tip pain!


This month I had pain under my left ribs and pain at both sides, when I pee'ed I felt pain inside at the left .....I think I need to let things heal....my pain was random, had bad O pains and then one pain 5 days before and leading up to AF


How long ago was your ectopic?

 

[sandyhen85]

im thinking the same as you, need to let things heal more......I only had trapped nerve pain with my ectopic, even when my tube was ready to rupture and the doctor pressed it, I had nothing.....she said I should have been crying and yet I was fine.....these past few days I feel swollen on both sides of my scar around the ovaries, felt like this after my op, so im thinking ovulation has made me swell up inside......its such a shame that mentally we feel ready to go again,but our bodies are saying something different....thanks for sharing your feelings/pain.....I hope now that AF has arrived its easing off

 

[c.m.c]

I know...if only our bodies could catch up with our minds!!

I still feel a bit of pain but the day of O I was sooooo sore!

My back was and still is very sore after surgery!

Lets hope July is our month

 

[sandyhen85]

Yes, hopefully July is our month - August 12th will be 1 year since my M/C, I would love to be healthy and pregnant by then, just hope AF turns up in the next day or 2 so I can start counting the days to ovulation again

The other thing we have to face is the fact that we may ovulate on the side where the tube was removed....I know there is a a 20% chance the other tube will pick it up, but if only there was a way to choose the ovary that would release the egg

Best of luck for July

 

[c.m.c]

Yes I know!! Please God let me O from the right this month lol!! GL for this month my fx for us

Hi girls just wanted to let you know that my ectopic was actually twins and I went to 9 weeks with no pains of any kind. Its because my ectopic sac spread itself out in a line along the tube rather then as a round sac (s) it ought to be. Regardless I had bleeding and my hcg was rising very slowly so I had to have my left tube removed.
They said it was the largest ectopic they had ever seen it was just a different shape! !

To sum up! Ectopic doesn't always mean pain! !

Have been ttc since x

 

[sandyhen85]

So my signature now says I am CD1, but I still have no idea if the witch was actually meant to show today or not, due to the 1 week light bleeding I had after my ovulation date........ as you can guess, she hasn't shown. Still getting stomach cramps, and last night they got a little worse around the left tube, I totally freaked out, scared that I'm pregnant with another ectopic. OH picked up a test on his way home and I took it, then spent hours staring at it because I could see the faintest line I have ever seen. Took another this morning and couldn't see anything, so OH is convinced that I'm slowly going mad.

I keep feeling sick, but I am on Metformin and I have just read that it can make you feel sick at times (?) so I am blaming it on that for now.

I have been pregnant twice and the first symptom that I can pinpoint with both of them is how sore my boobs got and I don't have that now, so I do not think that I'm pregnant. But I am annoyed that my cycle was fine following my op, 28/29 days and then the first month I start ttc again, it goes mad......That's just my luck though really

 

[c.m.c]

O sandy that sounds strange!!

Maybe your cycles are longer!!

I know ectopics rarely produce symptoms this early!! Try not to panic ht it's that again it's unlikely!

First baby....I'm so sorry you went through all that!! I think most ectopics eventually have symptoms but youre defo a different case. cant believe 9 week twins. how were you diagnosed?


My friend is an a and e nurse and they saw a 20 week ectopic! The girl nearly died!! Unreal how that was missed!

My other work friend had a friend die with an ectopic at 30weeks, she had been in agony for ages and had been admitted!

Sorry to be doom and gloom!

Hi everyone! Hate joining a thread so late but you seem such lovely ladies I had an ectopic in September 2012, I was 8 weeks and had my right tube removed. I was told that I have endometriosis and my left tube is stuck together. I don't know what that means for me but we have been trying pretty much since my first period after the op (the doc said this was fine) and nothing has happened yet. Hope we all get our rainbow babies soon x

 

[Amcolecchi]

Hey cmc!!! Thank you of thinking f me. I am at the beach thjs week for a much needed vacation. But before I left I was at 22. I asked the nurse about coming on Saturday and she said it would be a waste of a blood draw because she doubt it would be zero. So I was like ok...so Monday on vacation I started bleeding. Which is two days after Saturday which totally would be a waste of a blood draw and then it two days earlier of when shev would want me to come back again if it was not on vacation, you know? They have me coming every week. So is this period blood or blood from hormonal loss!?!?!

 

[c.m.c]

AM it sounds like a period!! Yippee!!


Hi carmela, sorry for your loss. I hope ur BFP is soon!

Sorry, for my late response.

Well, the Pains have stopped although feeling mild cramps/stretching sensations (no pain) so I think AF is on the way....never really been able to tell properly though.

It's amazing that doctors can miss ectopic pregnancies for so long, 20 weeks and 30 weeks is crazy. I knew at 4w2d that something wasnt right when my hcg was so low, so i pushed for hcg tests every 2 days which showed my numbers werent doubling and so they kept doing scans every few days for a few weeks until they confirmed it was ectopic, but as I said before, no pain really like first baby.

Amcolecchi glad that it sounds as though AF arrived for you, time to start TTC again

Carmela, have you asked your doctor what it means for you, I hope that everything will be ok for you to get your BFP naturally

I just had surgery and they removed my left tube last night. But in may of this year just a few months ago I had an ectopic on my right but it wasn't in my tube. I am completely devastated and would like to know if this has happened to anyone where they had two exotics one on each side and still had a normal pregnancy after

Danni, I'm so sorry for your losses.

 

[ladyluck84]

Please can I join you ladies? missed miscarrage in January and then ectopic last week. Intense pain and my right tube had ruptured. Had it removed in emergency surgery. I wanted to ask about scars. I was told u was going into have keyhole and the other are small but the one on the right where they brought the tube out if is big and very very indented. I was never expecting it to look sooo bad!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

CMC-you were right!!! It was my period!!! I am officially at 0!!! I see the docs tomorrow as a follow-up to see how everything looks and when we can start trying...We are definitely going to this month even if he says not to heheheh

 

[c.m.c]

Dani welcome......I'm do sorry to hear of your 2 ectopics.


Welcome ll84!!!!!!! It's great to Find threads where we are all in the same boat. I hope your scars settle soon. How big are they? Mine are about 1.5cm long


AM! Yippee now you can TTC again!



Can I ask you all where your scars are? I find it strange mine are belly button, above bikini line (middle) and right side....even though my left tube was removed?????

 

[ladyluck84]

Cmc I have posted a photo of my horrible scar and swollen belly on the other thread! It's so deep : (

 

[Amcolecchi]

I have scars in my belly button which is very unnoticeable. I also have scars on my left and rightside too. Even though my ectopic was on my left too! But they did an amazing job you can barely see my scars!

 

[ladyluck84]

So it's exactly a week since they took my tube and I have had spotting on and off but today I have had real period pain and heavy bleeding with small clots. Is this normal?
