TTC after ectopic

Forums New posts
MomV so sorry to read your update. I hope they find pregnancy tissue so you can avoid the drugs :hugs:
 
Thanks everyone. Feeling very groggy and sore. The doc said it looked like pregnancy tissue but still needs to be sent out. Thank you for all your support. I'm glad I found this thread! You are all so nice. I wish happy and healthy pregnancies for you all!! Xoxo
 
keep us posted Momv - you'll be in my thoughts! :hugs:

AFM - thought I ovulated yesterday. Pos OPK on Wed and slight O pain yesterday too. but this temping is driving me nuts. I really try and be consistent with testing time, but I just can't stay asleep through the night, so the timing is all over the place. I take it anytime I wake up since I know you are supposed to be asleep for 3 hours straight before taking it. This morning I woke up at 6 when OH got up and it was lower than yesterday! grrr. then I went back to bed and when I woke up an hour later it was 97.6. What a difference! and that was my normal time to test so I just don't know. I guess the next weeks might just be a crapshoot, but we are BDing all of the time and I'll try to stay positive!

GL ladies!
 
Of course it would come back not being in the uterus. It's ectopic and on my way to get a MTX shot :*(
 
Momv13 I'm so sorry it is ectopic. I assume you've received methotrexate now and they'll be monitoring your HCG levels now. I hope it drops quickly. Xx

Beemeck I temp and I'm at least once a night for a wee, sometimes an hour before I need to get up! I just go with the hour early reading but adjust it, it use: https://www.whenmybaby.com/basalbodytemperature.php Looks like you bd'd lots so fingers crossed :-)

MomV so sorry :cry: hopefully everything happens for you quickly and you recover asap. we will be here for support! :hugs:

Laubull I actually looked up on FF about the temping issue. FF said to use the temp from normal waking time but mark is as sleep deprived if you haven't been sleeping 3 hours straight for them to interpret. but I have seen those adjusters too. we Bd'ed a lot - but last month even more. Kind of worried that maybe it's too much for SO's swimmers? The month we fell pregnant we had only Bd'ed twice. But I'm too scared to miss O now that I keep BDing a lot. ugh :dohh: let's just get this TWW over with lol
 
Thank you so much ladies!!! Yes I had the shot yesterday. I really hope this is done. I can't take anymore :*(

Wishing you luck!!
 
Ah no MomV, so sorry to hear it was an ectopic :hugs: I hope the one shot is enough x
 
Thank you everyone!! For those of you who had the shot. How did you feel after? I feel horrible. I had nausea and threw up yesterday and I still have abdominal soreness :*( did just the one shot work for you?? What is the next step if it doesn't?? :((((
 
Sorry you're not feeling well MomV13 :-( As I said before I can't really remember how I felt other than the odd shooting pain. I only had one shot, as long as your levels start to fall then that is all you will need, although it can take a while to get to 0, mine took about 9/10 weeks. When is your next blood draw? x
 
Mom V I had 3 MTX shots, but surprisingly had no adverse symptoms. They prepared me for vomiting and feeling in general really crappy, but it just never happened. They said some people have that and others don't. I'm sorry it's happening to you :cry: My guess (and hope) is that it won't last too long. I just remember the shots being super painful and my bum hurting for awhile after each injection.

It took 6 weeks for my numbers to go from 15,000 to 0. I also got my period 28 days after the D and C while my numbers were around 20 or so. They told me I wouldn't get a period until numbers got below 5, but they were wrong..
 
Thank you Laubull I go tomorrow for my first blood draw and then again on Friday for the comparison. My levels were 172 when I got the shot. I hope it drops quickly!!! How have you guys coped emotionally? I've been on other forums and am sitting here crying reading everyone's sad posts! My heart is aching for myself but reading all these stories is making it ache even more! Why do these things happen?!? :(

You're right MomV. I remember how dark everything was at that time. It's only been 4 months, but I've come a long way. I've been trying to get the story out in my journal, as a way to release the sadness and try to move forward. I saw a psychologist after my experience - not because of the loss but because of the near death experience of the hemorrhaging. I would not have reached out to one otherwise. It was good to talk about it. I don't do well bottling things up. I have been very open about my story and I think that has helped me. So it's not some secret that I have to deal with on my own. We also discussed having some type of closure which is why I began my journal. After the 3 months off of TTC and grieving, I felt guilty that I was looking forward to a whole new baby. I still have that guilt sometimes. It's not easy. The next weeks and month or two will be hard. It's hard not to ask yourself why these things happen but I try to let myself. Keep coming here for support - that's what it's for! It's definitely been a great help to me. :hugs:
 
Everyone deals with loss differently. I was devastated at the time and am still very sad but I have to move on, and TTC is my way of dealing with it. Having my daughter helps too, I can't be sad when I've got her. Onwards and upwards in my motto and as I lost a tube, good riddance as the tube was rubbish! PMA all the way!

Give yourself time to grieve if that is what you need. Trust yourself to know when you're ready to try again and move on.

MomV - sorry it turned out to be ectopic. I didn't have the shot but remember the dark days all too well. I hid from friends and everyone for about a year. It was only when I hit 18 weeks pregnancy with my D's that I really started to get rid of the grief. I was so scared I would never have kids. However, I joined a couple of ectopic boards and can happily say that we all got a rainbow baby in the end.

Cry as much as you need and ensure you can talk to someone. Looking back, I'm annoyed with myself for not making the most of my last few months of child- free existence!! Now I'd love to jet off for a city break or have a spa day!!!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though and I know its only now I've reached the other side of those dark days that I can say that. It didn't help that everyone we knew seemed to be getting pregnant first month trying. Grrr......
 
Beemeck - good luck in your tww, looks like you timed things well ;-)

I don't temp any more but I used to. Now I seem to wake a lot in the night so don't bother. I just use opks. I do miss seeing the rise post o rise and comparing my charts though!!!

always good to hear about those that get their rainbow babies :) I hope mine comes soon! :baby: We BD'd about the same last month - timed perfectly, but nothing. so hoping somehow this month is different. I wake in the night too so my chart prob isn't super accurate, but I obsess over it to much to give it up :wacko:

where are you in the cycle??
 
Beemeck I think your chart is looking great, it's going to be your month, POSITIVITY! x
