I'm new to forums on pregnancy and trying to conceive, My sweetheart and I have been trying to conceive since January of this year. I am 39 and he is 44.
Neither of us were even thinking of having children when I started having symptoms that I had no idea what were all about. I phoned health-link trying to figure out what was going on, until she suggested I do a pregnancy test. So I did and wow, was I in shock. On January 11th I found out I was pregnant. First thing I did was tell my SO and put him in shock to.
We spent the next few weeks dreaming of something that we never thought we wanted in the first place.
I booked and had my first doctor visit, got confirmation again and was making plans and decisions on what to do next. Meanwhile I was surfing the internet for anything I could find about pregnancy. Nearest I could figure I was about 7 weeks pregnant and the short bleeding that I thought was odd in December must have been implantation bleeding.
On January 24th I had some bleeding and went to emergency. They couldnt do an ultra sound night so I went home and came back again the next morning for an ultra sound. I can still remember the words the doctor said when I found out, "You've developed and ectopic pregnancy". I felt inadequate and heartbroken. How could something so wonderful be given to me when I didn't even expect it and be taken away so easily. Anyway, I had surgery on January 25th. He tried to do it laproscopically but I had lost too much blood and ended up doing a laparotomy and had to remove my left tube in the process. Before I had the surgery my DH and I decided that we wanted to try again.
My doctor told us to wait for 3 months before we start trying again and because of my age to come back and see him if we didn't get pregnant in 6 months.
So this is where I am 9 months later, my whole life is changed, different desires, wishing and hoping that I could have back again what I had in January. My baby would have been born the end of August.
I've just had my first fertility visit with my doctor, he's booked blood work for 21 day progesterone and 3 day for FSH levels, semen analysis for my DH and I'm supposed to call today to book an HSG and my doctor says he's going to prescribe clomid for me that will make me ovulate more.
I'm hoping this forum will give me insight and hope and the support in my journey, and I am hoping that I can share any knowledge that I have gained to help someone on there journey.
