Josey - so sorry to hear the sad news.. Hoping that you have a lot of support at home..
Angelcake - welcome to the group! I lost my left tube by laproscopy due to ruptured ectopic in early Feb. They had tried to save it by using the methotrexate treatment, but that didn't work. Because of the methotrexate I was advised to wait 3 months, which we did (started again in May) and then we conceived in October. As you will see from our stories, we've all done it different ways, but I think if you haven't had the methotrexate treatment you can just wait until you feel physically ready. I know that even if I hadn't had the treatment we would have probably had to wait about 3 months because I still had pain from the op.
Jessica - congrats on on your recent scan, sounds like that's one happy bouncing bubba!
Kimmy - could luck with the C-section today! Really excited to see your pictures.. What an exciting day!
Kat - So sorry you're getting down about the wait. I know what it's like! I also feel a bit responsible because I joked that he could come on the same day as Kimmy's baby. I didn't even think that he could be later! I think you've also got a lot of nervous excitement about the birth and then you get so tired and frustrated about not knowing when it's going to happen it's horrible. Are you worried about the weather too? Haven't you got snow forecast up your way? Are you close to the hospital? I'm hoping he gets a shift on and decides to come under his own steam! Good luck!
Hope everyone else is ok? Sorry if I've missed people..
(Sorry about the long post!) As for me.. Well I had the scan yesterday morning and it's good news I think! There was a sac in the uterus. Hooray! This in itself is really good news as it means that my other tube works and that it made it all the way there on it's own! There was no fetal pole seen though, which worried me a bit. The sonographer and doctors were not too worried about it as the sac was only 16mm and they only expect to see the fetal pole when it gets to 20mm. Does anyone know if this is correct? I'm supposed to be over 6 weeks now, so I was hoping to see the fetal pole and maybe even a heart beat, so I was a little dissapointed. I know the date of my lmp is correct, but I also know that I ovulate on CD17-19, so if you think some people ovulate CD12-14 then that is almost a week later, so in real terms I could only be about 5 weeks.. Fingers crossed. I have another scan a week on Friday to confirm. So another 2 week wait for me!
