Hpyns4life- I don't know much about HSGs. What did your doctor say about it your odds? What does it mean dilated but open? I will be getting mine soon so I hope to know more about them soon!

Kat- Thank you for the welcome! I am sorry to hear about the tissue left over and that is just awful they can't help you for it! Especially if you are in pain and having bleeding!

Jessica- I'm sorry for your loss. That is interesting about progesterone causing an ectopic though.. I didn't know that could happen. I have a feeling I have low progesterone but haven't been tested for it yet. I do have Endometriosis so they are just assuming that's why I had my ectopic because of the scar tissue. Hmm.. I will have to bring that up with my Doctor next week. I'm glad you mentioned that. Thank you. I always wonder if it was due to being on the depo injection for 3 years too.

Angel- Thank you for the welcome.

Bunny- I think it would be a good idea to ask for your medical records. But very good news that your other tube is good and won't have any problems getting pregnant!

AFM- I had my blood drawn again to test hcg levels yesterday and they are down to 8! Never thought I would be so happy to see them so low! But now we are a step closer to moving forward. Now i'm just waiting for AF to show up! Never thought I'd be anxious for her either! But right after that, I can get a HSG and finally get back on the TTC track! We are using condoms right now because I do not want to risk another ectopic before I have an HSG. Not a big fan but we gotta do what we gotta do!

My obgyn couldn't give me any information about my odds. He said I needed to see a specialist, so that's where we are now. My fertility specialist should be getting back to me in about a week. Can't wait to hear from him!!!

Dilated means that it's enlarged. Mine looks normal up till 1/2 way to my ovary, then it gets about twice as big and the last 1/4 looks like a sausage But they say it's still open because when I did the HSG the dye was able to go through the tube and into my abdomen. When a tube is dilated it means that the egg can get "lost" on its way to the uterus and implant in the enlarged tube. There is also a chance the little finger-like things that collect the egg into the tube have been damaged so my egg won't go into the tube at all. Lots o crazy things that I can't wait to have explained by the specialist. FXd that you have a very pretty HSG that you can show off When is your appointment?

girls how are u all done a opk today got a line but not as dark yet x x x x

 

[katstar]

Well i had a talk with my oh last night and i have decided not to use any contraception that would mess up my body. We just have to be very careful. With the bleeding on and off, i have no idea where i am in my cycle so its condoms all the time till i get my cycle back.

Thanks for all the advice ladies and i am glad i am not the only one that feels that contraception would mess up my body. Thought i was being daft.

Caz - get now. You never know if a little spermie sticks around for a suprise egg coming early.

Hpyns4life- Thank you for explaining that to me. I like to know as much as I can before I go for mine. I'm anxious for the specialist to call you to explain it all and what to do! I sure hope it will overcome any problems and allow an egg to flow freely! I have to wait for AF before we schedule the appointment. So i'm hoping she comes very soon!! I have began spotting but it's brown so it's just old blood but I hope it turns into AF! Did any of you have brown spotting while waiting for AF after an ectopic? I know everyone's different but I just want her to come!

 

[Hpyns4life]

@kiki: It took forever for AF to start again after my ectopic, but that's because of the surgery, so I'm not such a great example. But when she came she was twice as long! It took about 3 months to get my regular cycle back so it's was frustrating trying to schedule the HSG. But that shouldn't be much of a problem for you. Hope AF comes soon!

 

[jessica716]

on my way to hospital to check on babys fluid on brain.... Keep your fx for me ladies! Hoping its better news than last time! Xx

 

[KimmyB]

Good luck Jess, hope all is well xxx

 

[Kiki0522]

Jessica- Good luck! Thinking of you!

Well I got a little crampy last night and my brown spotting turned to red this morning. Fx'd it gets heavier! lol.. It's TOO funny to be excited for this!! But I am hoping hoping this is AF and I can schedule my HSG asap!

 

[KimmyB]

I've been thinking of you all day Jess, I hope you're ok xx

 

[jessica716]

hey ladies..... Fluid measurement is now down to 9.6mm instead of 10.1mm..... So either the sonographer had mismeasured or it has resolved itself.... He was being awkward at the scan but we got there in the end!

So all good and baby is fine, back to midwife care now as they don't believe there is now any reason to monitor as he is well within normal ranges.... xxx

 

[Kiki0522]

That is wonderful news Jessica!! So happy for you!

 

[KimmyB]

Ah I'm so relieved Jess! So pleased for you xx

 

[caz & bob]

girls how are u all aw thats good jess x x x

 

[KimmyB]

Need your help again girls...I've just had my 2nd AF and that it was very heavy and full of clots (sorry for tmi) It was like this for a few days the stopped really abruptly (no brown blood towards the end - just bright red) Anyway, I started losing brown watery blood today so I am really confused. I'm panicking because its a similar bleed to when I had my ectopic.

Did any of you ladies have a heavy bleed followed a few days later by the watery bleed when you had your ectopics?

HELP!!

 

[jessica716]

with the ectopic i only ever had the watery bleed.... Very pale watery pink in colour... Never blood like xxx

 

[milosmum]

Hey ladies been away for few days and I have missed so much!

Jessica - so pleased your wee man is doing well. HAve we all noticed that all the one tubers babies are boys!!! And I include Xavier in that as well puppymom!

Kat - sorry to hear you are having bleeding problems really hope you get it sorted out soon but quite agree with the other girls that condoms seem to be the best way to go. very odd to discuss not getting pregnant on this forum but nice that we are all still sticking together x

Kimmy - I just had pain then bright red fresh bleeding with my ectopic. Could this AF still be odd due to the after effects of you pregnancy/birth or should you consider doing a HPT to see if you are preggers? Maybe a trip to see the doc might reassure you?

Sorry can't be any help with the HSG questions -never had one myself x

AFM 12dpo desperate to test (achey belly, sore boobs etc) but had these symptoms before AF last month too so don't think I can handle another negative test. Guess I will see what the weekend brings.

Kimmy I hope everything is alright. With my ectopic I had dark red w/ clots that seemed like a heavy period, then nothing, then 6 days later I had brown discharge for days. I thought I had miscarried and didn't get checked. When the pain started they found it ectopic I'd go have it checked to see what's going on.
