Hi all--

I have to admit I have been watching from afar during my recent journey. It has been a long 12 weeks. We found out we were pregnant back in August. We were very surprised as I had what I thought was my period and still had some latent bleeding. I had even taken HPT but were negative because "period" was 3 days late. I called MD and they did blood work and said pregnant but could be miscarrying..monitored the HCG..started to double and triple and I was started on progesterone. I was cautiously optomistic...then went for 9 week ultrasound..waiting for HCG to show clear picture..and no sac was found. I decided to the d&C and be through as I misscarried the year before. Well after complete received call from MD that no pregnancy tissue found and HCG over 5000. I was started on methotrexate shots but the ectopic at that point was not located on ultrasound. I tolerated the injections..had worse gastrointestional upset.. but accepted this as I knew I just needed to get through this..emotionally and physcially. 2 1/2 weeks ago I started having very heavy bleeds off and on and some cramping. Ultrasound located ectopic in tube but everything seemed to be okay..no bleeding internally etc. Then over the weekend I started having heavy bleeds..by the following Wedensday 10/10 I had pain from the bottom of my pelvis to the top of my chest. I made it to OBGYN with of course my 2 1/2 year old and was sent directly to ER. My left tube was completely ruptured with internal bleeding. Thankfully I went into shock at the hospital complete with rapid response and crash cart. The sad part my 2 1/2 year old and husband watched this as I was in the preop room. When tihs occured my HCG had decreased from 5000 to 700. The pregnancy was decreasing but apparently due to the bleeding from the pregnancy pulling away from the tubes on methotrexate there was too much blood so it all got stuck and did a sideways rupture. I was not lucky..the bleeding and damage was too severe. I lost my left tube and needed to be transfused. Now 2 weeks post surgery..the fog is lifting..and wow..now I realize how close of call it was. People tell me to focus on the two little boys..well of course i am so thankful for them and love them...but it does not fill the loss..I tell people it is like telling somebody who had a parent die..just be thankful for your one parent....how not comforting is that??? Anways..I find hope in many of your stories.and wanted to join the discussion. MD says we can try again in 8 more weeks (probably after the first cycle returns as it will be 12 weeks post methotrexate). All I can say is I did not have "clnical signs of rupture"..thank God I trusted my body that something was wrong...and had access to medical care....thank you too for sharing your stories....! Little lonely out here in Chicago Il.....Blessings to all---Kathy

Welcome babyhopeg and geminikah, I am sorry you are both joining us though and have gone through an ectopic

Babyhopeg you asked about conceiving, I conceived the second month of trying follow a 3 month break because of methotrexate. Sadly I miscarriaged that baby at 6w, however then conceived straight after with this baby and I'm 10 weeks today, the furthest I've gone and we saw a hb at 7 week! I am hoping it's my forever baby.

Good luck to you both and everyone else ttc on this thread. To the bumps out there, hope you're all ok

Hugs x

[autigers55]

Sorry to the newcomers.

BabyHope - It took us 7-8 months after mtx to get pregnant.

Dee - It took us over 2 1/2 yrs to get pregnant with number two. If we didnt get pregnant we would be going on 2yrs 10mos.

I am 28 weeks pregnant. This week we had been told that our baby girl has got excessive fluid on her brain. The fluid was discovered 2 weeks ago and was very little but in 2 weeks it has gone up very very high. Now it is 15ml on both sides of the brain. Doctors have told us that when fluid is more than 12ml, there are more chances of disabilities and complications. Our next step is to do an MRI in Queen Charlotte’s hospital (it s where they sent us). Some doctors think that there is a part of the brain missing. Will get more info from the fetal MRI. We feel so devestated as we really dont know what decisions to take. We have the following options:
1.Have an injection to help baby’s kidneys mature and then have early birth. 2.Let nature take its course.3.Termination
Is it fair for the baby to come into this world and live in HELL?
If we let nature take its course, there is a risk of a lot more complications as fluid will continue increasing and cause damage on brain.
PLEASE HELP
