Not another ectopic....Updated I'm ok!

[mazza2003]

I am 90% sure I am pregnant again. I have horrendous nausea, sensitive teeth( this was a biggie last time) and heartburn, which I have never had at any time in my life.

I am showing 13DPO, but I didnt show until 6.5 weeks the last time.

Today, on exactly the same cycle day as ectopic I started get pink CM and a pain in my right side ( I lost my right tube and the pain referred to the left.)


I am at my wits end. Why is this so hard???/

 

[babytots]

hi hun it could just be implantation bleed especially as you are showing bfn but experiencing symptoms i really hope its this and not another ectopic. please try not to get too worried til you know for sure ok hunni as it will only play on your mind and distress you further. x

 

[dan-o]

Oh no, I sincerely hope it isn't mazza!
Get yourself along for a couple beta hcg's just to be safe!!!

Hi,

I read your post yesterday and despite usually not having the courage to post I couldn't not, I had 2nd ep in Jan myself losing left tube and felt the same this month was convinced would get a bfp but so far at 14dpo bfn's and just some brown blood (same as last EP).

I think it's best to listen to your body and if you have pain call your epu and see about some blood tests, they are generally good with those who have had previous ectopics as of course we know the pain and when to be concerned.

I am sorry you are going through this again, the worry of TTC again and hoping everything will be okay next time is so hard I know. I am driving myself insane if I am honest.

Keep us updated.

 

[mazza2003]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I called the EPU. They were awful the last time and their procrastination was directly responsible for the ectopic rupturing. I dont why today I thought it would be any different.

I called to start the hcgs going, and the midwife I spoke to was very concerned. She said the combo of symptoms and history meant that I should be admitted.

She said she would call me back after arranging it with the ward. She did so and sai the registrar said that I wouldnt die over the next few days and so they couldnt fit me in!!!

She said since I havent had a +ve test they cant help me and to go to the GP. I explained that I cant get appointment until next week, and she said, thats ok, you wont rupture.

Its the same old farce........Its all so upsetting.

I really appreciate your messages. My OH is REALLY BAD at listening to the Drs, rather than to what my body is telling me. XXX

 

[mollymoo]

I am really sorry your EPU are being like this, I don't understand how people can't listen when our bodies are telling us there is something not quite right!

Last time I was told I had miscarried, I knew due to having the same pains that I had with my first ep that I was still pregnant and it wasn't in the right place and ended up getting admitted through a and e at the point of it rupturing.

Just keep in tune with your pains etc and if in doubt get to the hosp and they can take bloods in a and e. I can't think of anything else to say, just that I know what you are going through and how s**t it is!! x

 

[mazza2003]

Aw Mollymoo it sounds like you have been through the mill too. Ultmiately I will go thorugh A&E> My gp gave me a letter to take the last time this all happen so this they take this seriously so it anything gets worse or changes I will get myself in.
I think they take really silly silly chances in EPU where I stay and one day it will end in disaster!

 

[dan-o]

Mazza, the NHS system drives me crazy at times!!!

Demand HCG tests from your GP... & failing that, just book a blood test in with the nurse (thats what I did & no one said anything)

Failing that, the other way to get seen is to go A&E, then they will have to take you seriously Go tomorrow and they will probably book you a scan for monday. Say you have a light positive test now? If only I lived closer to you, I'd come along with you and stage a sit in protest until someone looks at you!!!

Don't they realise how important this is to catch early if it's happened again? They can save your tube with a MTX shot for gods sake.

Agggghhh, this has made me so mad

I'm so sorry you have been let down like this once again mazza

 

[mazza2003]

Aw Dan-o thats so kind and I wouldnt allow you to come- you have had more than enough of hospitals!!!!!!!!! I will get my hcg done at gp tomorrow, they were closed today for training. They are quite good and I think if I turn up they will help me out. I will keep you posted. Its just a disgrace the so called experts at the EPU, dont take stuff seriously!

 

[babytots]

good luck hunni hope you maange to get your hcg measured tomorow!

epu's really are a shambles arent they! when i got pg with jessicas i had some pains and light spotting rang them up told then about my previous losses and they said you have to see your g.p to be reffered. went to g.p she said she would refer me but implied that i might not get seen. so booked an app with a different doc and fibbed a bit about the spotting and she took notice and booked me a scan as soon as i turned 6 weeks.

next time round i am going to go to the epu and demand they see me without a doctors refferal. infact when i see my consultant next month i will get her to make sure they do.

anyways hun sorry rambled about myself hope you dont mind epu's really drive me up the wall sometimes its what they are there for ffs!

i really do hope its not another ectopic hun and they get their butts in gear to do whatever they need to. x

p.s a friend has just gone through her 2nd ectopic and now has no tubes. she was treat horribly by her epu and they refused to scan her the first time she went in with bleeding as her hcg levels werent high enough 4 days later she went back as had more bleeding and had a scan and they found it was ectopic and sadly they couldnt save her tube. if they had scanned her just a few days before she might of been able to have the mtx shot and still had the change to carry on ttc now that dream has gone. so definately kick,scream cry do whatever it takes to get yourself heard and seen too. x

 

[mazza2003]

Throughout all of this nightmare of the last 3 mths never have I been so down and disheartened. Dr refused to do hcg, ands said she thought I was lying about pregnancy as I am not showing on a urine test. ( I didnt show until 6.5 weeks last time.) She also called me dramatic and that I was wasting her time when she had real patients.

I could throw myself under a bus. I really could. I really had a strong, a really strong PMA, but I have no energy left any more. I am in total pain and am to teary to fight any more. I nearly didnt type this either. I am so tired of this whole baby, ectopic painful unsetting carry on.

 

[Las78]

Hun. I'm so sorry, that was the last thing you needed. I'm horrified at how you have been treated and for your doctor to say you were wasting their time - OMG. Regardless of what they think your concerns should at least prompt them to just be on the safe side and if nothing else, put your mind at rest. Is there any way you could go private hun, it's not worth leaving it.

Take good care hun, let us know how you get on and sending you

Mazza where in Scotland are you?

This is ridiculous. You cannot carry on like this. As for your doctor well she sounds JUST like mine!

I agree with Dan-O, I know you are feeling awful but i would head right back up to the EPU and bawl your eyes out and tell them exactly how the pain is.

 

[mazza2003]

Hi I am pleased to report that it would seem that I still have CO2 trapped after my surgery (11 weeks ago) It was pushing on my surgical site, hence the side pain. The gp had a good feel and low and behold my AF appeared an hour after leaving the surgery.

She took hcg anyway which she will repeat in 48 hours! Yay for AF!!! Thats 2 months in a row that I have said that!

Many thanks for all of your lovely words. I was a sniviling wreck on Sat and the kind messages really helped me through.

I love this section, everyone is so kind, despite their own terrible situation and for that I am really grateful. XXXX

 

[babytots]

aww hunni am glad they found the cause to the pains and it wasnt an ectopic you must be so relived! sorry to hear who nasty and rude your doc was if you was wasting her time doesnt she know possible ectopic pregnancys are life threatening grrrrr!!!!!! steer clear from her from now on hun and see if you can see another dont need a doc like that especially when ttc and pregnant! x

 

[AP]

Yey for AF! Im glad you're OK honey!

 

[mollymoo]

[dan-o]

[Peardrop]

Hi Mazza - I replied to your post in the ttc section at the weekend - I'm happy that you have finally got an answer and that it is good news as I was worried for you over the weekend. Take care XX
