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

[c.m.c]

It could be your period? It may also be infection? What's your temp like?

 

[ladyluck84]

Temp fine. Don't feel ill just like a bad period

 

[c.m.c]

It could be.....see how long it lasts! With tube removal I know HCG plummets! Mine went from 5000 to 720 within 48 hrs

 

[Amcolecchi]

Lady- I bled and have bad pains too! my doctorsays that some women bleed as they are losing their hormones and then you get cramping with that too just like a period! as long as you have no fever you are okay!!!

Afm- saw the doctor today and he said I can start trying to get pregnant again!!! my husband has some sperm morphology problems so we are trying naturallu in july if not then we'll get an IUI in august!!!

 

[ladyluck84]

Why did he say you couldn't try again?

 

[sandyhen85]

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?????

Am I the only person not to have keyhole surgery? My scar is 3inches long across my bikini line....it's horrible and i have now started turning the lights out when oh and I BD because I don't want to see it (sorry if that's tmi)...I'm quite slim, but now my belly has an indent in it if you look from the side....if the scar was from a c-section and I had a healthy baby to look after at the end of it, i don't think it would hurt as much, but I think the scar just reminds me of what happened I expect a lot of us feel that way though right?

 

[sandyhen85]

Ladyluck84 I bled exactly 1 week after my op as well....it lasted 7days like my normal AF and then I bled again 28days later, so I understood it to be my AF....hope it is for you too

Amcolecchi that's great news that you can start trying again, fingers crossed for you

Afm, Af still hasn't turned up, I am now day 22 following the second bleed I had in June, so defo think it was AF even though it was so close to the one before. I finally had a dark opk today as well, so I'm praying that tomorrow I get a positive...I've posted a pic as I'm new to these and haven't had a positive yet, what do you ladies think?

 

[c.m.c]

Yes I'd defo say positive.

Did you say you're cd22,,,,,,????? Could it be a BFP? HCG causes opk,s o be positive too? Do u normally have long cycles?

 

[hilslo]

Am - great news you can start trying again. I think it's a really good mental step to help looking foward. We will mever forget what has happened but looking to the future is a great healer!

Sandyhen you're not the only one - I too have a big c- section type scar. Please don't feel ashamed of it. By trying to hide it you will just make it the elephant in the room. Wgat happened is no fault if youre, justva cruel twist of fate. You have nithing to be ashamed of so please don't hide away! xx

Yey, i hope its positive...thanks for looking......I have pcos and up until I started metformin in October last year my cycles were super long, my cycles have been nice and regular (28/29 days) since October. I only started back on metformin in June following the ectopic though, so I think this long and mixed up cycle with a double bleed is an effect of starting it again.....I will do an opk in the morning to see if it gets darker, but oh and I have BD the last few nights anyway and will continue to do so in hope that this is it

I have done 4 pregnancy tests since last Tuesday (this was when AF was due if i did 29 days from the first bleed in June) and all negative, I was planning to try another at the weekend just to be sure, but I do feel this is ovulation rather than a bfp....wish it was though haha

You must be close to ovulating again c.m.c right? How are the pains now?

Hilslo thanks for your words they mean a lot and it really helps to see other women like me with confidence in themselves still, shows that i can be the same. my oh is great and tells me I'm still sexy which is lovely, i know I won't feel like this forever, just right now....ill try to be more confident about it though, you are right it didn't happen because of something I did wrong, and I must remember that. I started using bio oil the other day actually, I hope that might reduce the colour a bit....I may live in a hot country, but i am super pale lol xx

 

[ladyluck84]

Sandyhen though I don't have a c section scar I wish I did because mine started as key home and they couldn't get my tube out as too large so they just extended the scar on my right side which can now never be hidden by a bikini I'm very conscious of it.

 

[ladyluck84]

I had become obsessed with testing so stopped myself and only tested if I was late. If u had tested then I would have realised I was pregnant and may have not lost my tube as I had 2 bleeds which u had though was af and positive ovulation in the cbfm so from now on in testing before and after!!

 

[sandyhen85]

Well my opk never turned positive and my cervix is super low, so I think I'm on schedule to get AF 28 days following the second bleed in June....it means that I missed ovulation because I was away, or I just didn't ovulate this month. I hope AF does arrive in the next few days so I know when CD1 is and ill visit the doctor to get my prescription of the clomid tablets...although they are not clomid it's 2nd generation something or other, cannot remember the name of them sorry.

Hope all you ladies are doing well and enjoying your weekend x

 

[Amcolecchi]

Hey ladies, how are you all doing? I am ovulating now...well I got a positive OPK yesterday and one today...I am just trying to see how long I get the surge for...This will be our first time trying since the surgery, so I am excited as well as nervous. My husband has some sperm issues so I am not banking we will get prego this month but it's always worth a try. If not prego this month my doctor wants to do an IUI in august...but I rather get prego naturally!!

 

[ladyluck84]

Finally stopped bleeding so hopefully I will ovulate soon and cycle will return to normal. Though still unsure how long to wait before I'm meant to be allowed to dtd. I feel ready now?

 

[Amcolecchi]

Lady-when was your surgery? I had my period 8 weeks after the surgery and then I ovulated right back on track!

 

[hilslo]

HI ladies - sounds like everyone is making good steps

Am - go catch those .

LL84 - glad the bleeding has stopped - are you going to try straight away?

A couple of you ladies already know from another board, but i got my last week. I really wasn't expecting it as my first period after the op was super light (two days of barely more than spotting) and then on this cycle I starting spotting at 5dpo. But... then the spotting stopped and i found myself needing to pee more than usual so I took a test.

So - if my terrible cycles can get one, fingers crossed I'm the first of many of us one-tubers! I must say that the worry is terrible though . I have a scan on 1st Aug to see if they can see where it is developing. I'm absolutely terrified that it's in the worng place. I never had any pain or spotting with my ectopic before it ruptured. THis time I'm getting little twinges but not wouldn't call it pain so not racing to EPU just yet. However, I have been getting a bit of pain just under my ribs - did any of you experience pain here with yours?

 

[Amcolecchi]

hilso-CONGRATS!!!!! That is awesome!!!! When I had my ectopic I had no pain either!!! Just some slight cramping! But do not worry!!! think positively and just relax Let us know how it goes!
