I think not bleeding now and still getting nice pink lines is a good indication. With all my ectopics and MC I didnt stop bleeding until the pregnancy was completely gone.

WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! I am beyond thrilled, Sarah . By God's grace, the baby is exactly where it should be! I can't wait for you to put up that ticker . Wow!!!! God is really awesome!! That is a miracle baby for sure!!! And stop reading all that nonsense on the internet. Just stay calm and await the results from the hospital. You and your baby will be fine

Shells.....CONGRATS!!!!!!!! Awesome!! Gosh, there has been a explosion over here. Caz...you're next

As for me, I am 99.99% sure I ovulated from my bad side this cycle....so I'm taking myself out to avoid any heartbreak in 2 weeks. I'm also considering a break and then IUI later in the year, after vacation. I discovered a more specialised FS yesterday. My current doctor is great and will always be my Gynae, but I just feel the need for more specialised help now.

Amy, Cupcake, Milosmum, everyone.....hope you all are doing great!!

Isi!! I have missed u!! welcome back xx
I am soooo nervous today i cnt tell you. I am going for my blood test at 12 and will knw by 4pm what we are dealing with hopefully. It is just a waiting game now.
When i wipe now there is no pink at all and i have no pain etc. I had no pain with my ectopic but i did keep spotting pink intill my surgery so praying the fact iv stopped spotting is a good sign... PLEASE GOD xxx

Hi everyone. Thanks to everyone who replied to my thread about my ecoptic pregnancy, for which I had the pregnancy and my right tube removed on Monday.

Please can i ask some questions for those of you who have had a laparoscopy to remove the tube- how long was your recovery time? How much bleeding did you have and was it just blood or is it normal to have some clots and strange gunky stuff coming out too? How long did this bleeding last? WHen did the swelling in your abdomen go down? When did the pain from the suregry stop? When did the wounds heal from where they did the surgery? Did you have a follow up appointment/ check up and if so when?

As you can see I have lots of questions!

We aren't going to ttc again until the end of next year. Dh is due to go to Afghan next spring and whereas before I would have been fine being pregnant while he was away I don't want to go through this again and the stress will be too much, so we will wait til he's home end of next year to start ttc again. This might mean no baby for us until 2012/ 2013 or even longer depending how long it will take to conceive, which would also mean a large age gap between our DD and the next one, but really I don't want any stresses so I think this is the best way.

Thanks x

the swelling should go down in a cuople of days hun it took a couple weeks for the bleed to stop xxxxxx

Hello ladies, I just wanted to jump in before work quickly,

welcome to all the new ladies you will get all the support and help you need here, there is a wealth of knowledge in this thread.

Congrats to Shell and Sarah I hope you both have a very very H&H 9 months

Sarah: you see my DD in my avatar? she was a "bleed nearly all the way through" pregnancy. I had a big bleed when my period was due and I thought I had lost the baby before she even had a chance to grow. I rang the quack and got booked in for a D&C for 6 weeks. The EPU scanned me to make sure she had not naturally miscarried and would you believe they found her heartbeat. If they had not scanned me she would not be here as they would of done a D&C without knowing.

I bled alot and we never found out why, I was on night time maxi pads nearly all the way through so do not let the Dr that said only ectopic pregnancies bleed scare you, its just not true. I dearly hope your LO is fine and the bleed is just some unexplained bleed like mine. let us know how you get on

Welcome Chick so sorry for your loss. I just had my tube removed 4 weeks ago tomorrow.

Please can i ask some questions for those of you who have had a laparoscopy to remove the tube- how long was your recovery time? I was back to work 5 days after surgery able to drive a car and move around.
How much bleeding did you have and was it just blood or is it normal to have some clots and strange gunky stuff coming out too? My bleeding had the clots and all that too dr said it was the uterus shedding where it had gotten so thick from the pregnancy.
How long did this bleeding last? Bleeding for me last like 2 weeks after the surgery.
WHen did the swelling in your abdomen go down? like a week after
When did the pain from the suregry stop? Within like 3 days but I still get little nigs of pain here and there
When did the wounds heal from where they did the surgery? I would say about 2 weeks
Did you have a follow up appointment/ check up and if so when? I have mine next week but am in the US and they like to do it a month after the surgery.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Ok ladies, Just got today's levels in and they were 371.3 2 days ago and today they are at 682!! The midwife said "usually" this points to a uterine pregnancy although we wont know for sure intill i get scanned on wed morning. I am a bit nervous about having to wait almost a wk but the midwife said judging by the results today she has no cause for worry, but should i have any blood loss, pain etc to call them. OMG I appear to be pregnant after a full af ladies!!!! I am in complete and total shock! xxx

 

[caz & bob]

awwwwwww xxxxx

 

[puppymom32]

Sarah,
That is great news. Are they going to do any more bloods or just leave it until next week for the scan? I am so happy for you.

 

[Shell'sAngels]

Yay Sarah fab news!!!!

 

[africaqueen]

Sarah,
That is great news. Are they going to do any more bloods or just leave it until next week for the scan? I am so happy for you.

They said they are satisfied enough with the increase to just wait intill wed for the scan now. Does that sound right to u ?? Surely if it was ectopic i would not have such a good rise in 2 days?? aaahhh il be crazy by wed! lol

xxx

 

[cyclura]

OMG thats such a good rise, they say you roughly double in 24-48 hours and thats what you have done so I would say thats good yeah .

 

[milosmum]

Woop woop Great news Sarah - you have just put a huge grin on my face after a long day at work!!!

Can't imagine they would leave your scan for a week if they were worried about you - so TRY to relax and enjoy your weekend with bubs nestling into the right spot!

I think your rise is perfect they like to see it double every 2-3 days. and if they are doing it on the second day then they like to see a 60% increase so you are way way above that. Try not and worry yourself. Wed will be here before you know it.

Hey Chickchock - sorry to hear about your loss. I am in the UK and had my EP and laparoscopy 9 weeks ago now. I did seem to ecover from the op quickly but here are my answers to your questions.

Please can i ask some questions for those of you who have had a laparoscopy to remove the tube- how long was your recovery time? I was back at work 10 days post-op and I have a physical on my feet all day job with lifting driving etc.
How much bleeding did you have and was it just blood or is it normal to have some clots and strange gunky stuff coming out too? I had clots and tissue and blood for about 1 week post op but it got less every day.
How long did this bleeding last? 1 week as above
WHen did the swelling in your abdomen go down? This was my problem I felt swollen and bloated for a good 2-3 weeks. In fact the shoulder tip pain from the gas in my abdo was more of a problem post-op than the pain in my wounds. it took atleast 7-10 days for the shoulder tip pain to go away and as I said 2-3 weeks for my bloating to go away (and my jeans to do up again!) My nurses advised peppermints and peppermint cordial in hot water drinks to help reduce the gassy feeling.
When did the pain from the suregry stop? My wounds were barely sore after 5 days but as I said my shoulders were sore for longer. HAd occasional twinges in my wonds for a couple of weeks but not properly sore after about 5 days.
When did the wounds heal from where they did the surgery? All healed up by 2 weeks - the belly button one took the longest and was the most uncomfotable of them all!
Did you have a follow up appointment/ check up and if so when? I was told I would not have a check up post op if I had only had my Ectopic - I only have a post op appointment cause they drained an ovarian cyst at the same time and they want to check that again with a scan.

Hope that helps and sorry for rambling!

Hope you feel better soon xxx
