Trying to conceive after Etopic and tube removal

So glad those numbers are coming down for you. Still blows my mind that it has taken that long! I think an hsg after you have had time to heal is a really good plan. I’ve read it can also clear any blockage as well. It was on the table for me when ttc my 2nd youngest but ended up pregnant the last cycle before avoiding in order to have the hsg done lol. I’ll hope the same for you :flower:
 
Hi everyone,

I am now working with a fertility clinic. I’m nervous but also oh so very ready to figure out what is going on with my body.

I have never been to a fertility clinic before but o am having faith in the process. I am currently waiting for my hcg to reach 0 and for my cycle to start so I can begin the initial testing.

I will be getting my next blood work for hcg on Friday so I’m truly hoping it will be at 0. Wish me luck.

If anyone has any advice in regards to etopics or fertility treatment please feel free to share.
 
thinking of you on your newest journey :hugs: I would request an hsg first and foremost to make sure your tube is in good condition, potentially cleared out even. Hope things go smoothly to get your rainbow x
 
I had my bloodwork done yesterday and I am now at 65.

February 29th 1655 1st dose of methotrexate
March 4th 3873
March 7th 3912 2nd dose of methotrexate
March 11th 2765
March 18th 1451
March 25th 848
April 9th 288
April 16th 231
April 23rd 110
May 3rd 65

Trying to stay strong and focus on the positives but I really want this to be over so I can truly begin healing.
 
Today I had my bloodwork done and my hcg level is now at 50. I am truly over this process and just want to be done with it.

I understand my body needs to heal but there is no explanation as to why my hcg level is taking forever to get to zero. It just frustrates me because the highest it ever got was to 3912…so why so long to get to 0.

February 29th 1655 1st dose of methotrexate

I was hoping to try to conceive again in September but I have to take folic acid for three months first and I can’t take folic acid until my hcg is at 0.

I will continue to update just in case anyone ever goes through something similar. Thank you to everyone that has been supportive
 
I’m so sorry this has been such a long and exhausting process. I can’t give any advice to speed it up, but you aren’t alone and we’re always here for support.
 
Wow, I’m flabbergasted that your hcg still isn’t 0. I’m so sorry you’re going through this :hugs:
 
Thank you @Jules8 for the support I truly appreciate it.

@Momof2onetube I know I would have never thought it would take so long.

It’s crazy how I went weeks hoping and praying for my hcg levels to rise as expected just to end up hoping they would go away.

I have another blood draw next week. I truly believe this will be the last one as I POAS this morning and it was a vvvfl.
 
I can’t even imagine :hugs: I didn’t have a fighting chance at trying the methotrexate with my one and only ectopic, counting my blessings though. I still can’t believe it’s gone on this long. What does your doctor say? Super curious because I thought it was typically resolved by 2 months max. Crossing everything you’re at 0 next week x
