hi guys. Its me just saying hello. Well i was finally discharged from epu on 6th october. Hcg 5. Whoo hoo. 2 months and tube saved. I thank god. Just hoping its not damaged now. Well anyway i am glad to hear everyone is ok. Poppymom. I know what you mean by not wanting to freak out every month. I did so much ttc, i felt like a different person. A crazed one. Hope that chilling is helping you. Blue. Hope you get a cancellation. But i dont think you should worry about your ovarys. I think they wont take em away in error but i hope you get to discuss this more. Dancin kat. Glad to hear your tube is ok. My partner told me he had a below average count before we started ttc. We have got pregnant twice since april. Dont think he has a problem now but i have heard genetics problems can cause ectopics?? I am having tests done on my tube around may next year. Do you think partner should get his spermies tested too? I am not sure. He said he would to be sure but not sure how we go down that route. X x

kat,
Hey hunny glad to hear things are going better so glad they were able to save the tube FXXX it is not damaged and all will be well. Relaxing is going pretty good just gonna let nature take its course. I had never heard the genetics part but maybe because I am the only one in my family and DH's to have an ectopic. I think it would be worth it to have his sperm checked maybe you can start with a urologist and go from there. Or maybe the GP can refer you. So are you going to start trying again in a few months or are you going to wait until after May? Glad to see you are doing better.

Thanks puppymom. My levels are still at 5. aparently stuck lol. I have to go for bloods again thursday but i think the worst is definatly over.

I will speak to my partner about urologist and i am sure he will be up for it. Peace of mind and all that.

We have bought tickets for a music festival in june 2010. (A big one in england called Glastonbury) So we do not plan to ttc after this. Don't want to be preggers for this. Its a 5 day festival of camping, music and beer. Just what we need i think.

xxxx

That sounds fun. I missed one this july because I was afraid I was pg during the 2WW and knew I wouldnt have been able to be around all that drinking without being able to be drunk myself. DH went without me. I was so sad. So hoping I know for sure this coming year and can plan accordingly. Hopefully I will just get to be the Designated driver and just be miserable. I would definetly take the trade. Hope the levels are down to zero soon.

Hi, Can I join in?
I had an ectopic pregnancy in August and had my right tube removed at 8weeks. We had being ttc just over a year and also had a m/c in May. Looking back on it and knowing what I know now I am sure it was also ectopic (very slow rising HCG never got past 30 and then went away on its own then spontaneously m/c)
When I had my ectopic and tube removed they found endo and adhesions and my left tube was inflammed. I was on a course of ab's for weeks which caused more problems. I am now booked in in a months time to have more surgery to remove some endo, hysterscope, lap and dye to check my remaining tube. From this we hope to know if we can ttc naturally or if we start IVF.
I can't wait to start ttc again as right now (can't ttc) I have no hope of getting pregnant and even with one bodgy tube if we were ttc I would still have hope that it might happen and make it to the right place.
Thats my little story. I have 2children. One from a first relationship and my second to my DH. We always wanted a big family (almost as many as my body would have) but right now just one more would make us incredibly happy.
I work as a midwife and a grazier and a mum of course.

Olivia,
Welcome. So sorry for your losses. With my last ectopic the dr also found adhesions around my good side but fortunatly she went ahead and removed them while she was in there removing the tube. There was some mild endo but not enought for her to remove it she said removing it may cause more harm than good. She also did the die test on my good side and it all was clear. Hope you lap goes good and you get the results you desire. Best Wishes
Amy

Hey how's everyone doing? hope all is well.

 

[bklove]

Hey guys! I just found out about this group and i'm actually excited about it. I lost my tube in June of this year to an ectopic pregnancy that did not respond to the drug and ruptured without me knowing and my Dr caring. It was pretty crazy, but now i'm just down to the left and two ovaries. I have mc 3 times before, so the history is pretty poor, and no children yet. I'm 28, married 2 years and hoping like everyone else to catch that egg. Looking forward to chatting it up with you guys.

 

[Blue12]

Hi all!!! Missed you for a while!

Welcome bklove and Oliva2 - best wishes on a SHORT journey

So after my meeting with my fs today - I will only be having one tube removed. I am a one tuber... the fs recommended iui after my tube is removed - but I have a very very high chance of ectopic so likely I will end up with ivf.

 

[Olivia2]

Thanks Puppymom and Blue12 for the welcomes.
Welcome bklove. I am new too.
I am just hanging around waiting for my surgery to see where to from here. It so tempting to try this month anyway (I am about to O) but being good and waiting impatiently for the surgery in a month.
Does anyone know if laparoscopy will make AF arrive (not relating to ectopic)? Ill be CD10 when I have the surgery and was hoping it wont make AF arrive until its due around CD31. Gyno said we can ttc again (at this stage) soon as I am up to it post surgery.

 

[Dancingkaty1]

well i saw my fs yesterday & she has agreed to clomid wahoo!!!...really hoping it works for me.....i said to her i wasnt convinced i was ovulating every mth...she said that the results from the bloodtest i had done in august were good so i should feel hopeful but agreed that without doing that bloodtest every mth no one can be sure, plus with the polycysts on my only ovary she agreed that it may be possible that i have been ovulating still but not every mth....

just waiting for Af to hurry up & come on full flow as only spotting at the mo the i can start the clomid days 2-6 bit nervous but very excited.....xxx

 

[Olivia2]

Thats fantastic Dancingkaty1 that the FS is giving you something to speed up your BFP IYKWIM. Hope it works first go for you.

 

[puppymom32]

Blue big hugs so sorry you have had such a rough go but glad you are finally getting answers.
Olivia- I wouldnt think it would cause AF to come unfotunatly each time I have had mine I have had an ectopic too so once I had the surgery always started right after but if you arent scheduled to start then I dont think it would make it come. Stay stong best of Luck
Dancing- How great you Dr has given you the clomid best of luck. I was on it for a year when I had both tubes without success but I know a lot of people that it has worked for.

Welcome BK glad you found us. I also only have my L tube. I kinda wondered if my bad tube contributed to the MC I had in the past. Who knows we are all fixed up now and ready to get our BFPs.

 

[Olivia2]

Sounds like we are all sitting in similar boats with m/c and ectopic. I wonder too if my tube was sick and caused my m/c's before the ectopic. Hopefully now its gone we will all get sticky BFPs and babies. I don't know the health of my remaining tube but hopefully I will when I have more surgery.

 

[puppymom32]

My dr was able to look at my other tube during the Lap and said everything looked fine. She also did the die test so I hope she is right. Of course that was 6 mo ago but I have had a chemical since then so something must be working. Its all way to confusing and so much harder than it should be. Geez just give me a freaking baby or two I would be fine to get it over in one try.

 

[Josiejo]

Hi, can I join you ladies? I had a recent ectopic which resulted in a ruptured left fallopian tube (hence it being removed). Absolutely devastated but can't wait to start trying again. Jo xx

 

[Olivia2]

Josiejo so sorry to hear about your EP I have only just joined myself.
Yeah puppymom32 its all working if you fell pregnant recently. Praying next time you have a wiggly, healthy bub at the end of it.
I have 25days until my op and hopefully soon afterwards I can start ttc again. Not sure how soon but hopefully right away once the pain of the surgery allows me to of course.
puppymom32 where abouts are you in your cycle? I O today and have all signs I am but not that it matters as we aren't ttc again
