TTCAL Ectopic Thread

[babys4beckyx]

i was really nervous about posting feel silly keep gettin upset over it all yes thats what i thought its a long time i get so frustrated and i will definately be off to see another doctor feel a little happier i have found this and can open up i know im not the only person in the world going through this xxxxx

You're not alone. Since my ectopic last Sept/Oct this forum has been a lifeline for me. I don't like to rant to DH (even though he has been amazing through all this) And sometimes it's just nice to speak to other girls who are in the same position. I think going to another doctor sounds like the best idea hun, good luck, I hope you get some answers x

Kimmy- not sure why the pain on the tube side. Guess I will ask her Thursday. The incision is a lot bigger too, so it's just weird.
Welcome Becky. Sorry you are a member of the "club" but it is nice to talk/laugh/complain with other people who are going through the same thing.
How is everybody today?

Hi Amos - Im ok ta just waiting for AF to arrive anyday as definately BFP for me this month coming round to the idea now as got my follicle tracking booked for next cycle !!

I know it's so hard to be patient isnt it?? Especially when we are doing everything the right way!!!

Amos I have only ever had pain on my left side although my ectopic was in my right tube and that was removed. I had pain in my left side and left shoulder for 3weeks before the ectopic was diagnosed (I knew the whole time it was there but no one believed me and said I was never pregnant (the ones that said I was said I was barely pregnant) For me it was intuition (and medical knowledge I guess) as I knew from the moment I got my first BHCG back my pregnancy was ectopic. It was convincing the others it was that was so difficult. So I think the pain in the opposite side is not unheard of but I have been told weird or uncommon.

babys4beckyx at 23 I think after 17months ttc after EP you should be entitled to some investigations. I'll be starting IVF around 9months after my EP but thats because of a load of other problems. I am in Australia and I know things are done differently depending on where you are. Fertility assistance here and investigations seems to be more available here in comparison to other places. I had more surgery 2.5months after my EP surgery to determine the likelyhood of another pregnancy. I would be seeking another opinion.

For those who have concieved again after EP how long did it take? I know everyone is different but now my tube is gone and no pregnancy I can't help but thinking its not going to happen on its own IYKWIM? But I guess alot of that is because of all the other problems on top of been a one tuber

CD 7 for me still bleeding. I've had some sort of bleeding for the past 10days. I need to get the guts to call the Gyno and make an appointment as I am also due for a papsmear. Its hard going to see him again when I am sure he is sick of the sight of me. If I didn't know him from work I wouldn't care but I do. Grrr this is so hard. I have an appointment on the 28th April with a new Gyno and FS about the IVF but thats ages away.

Stamps my feet..... WISH AF would hurry up as got loads of help next cycle....

I got one hun and swear by it. Try on Amazon they got some great prices at moment, can give you advice when u get one xxxx

 

[KimmyB]

Babys4becky that's great news, glad you plucked up the courage and put your foot down! Hope everything goes well for you! Wrt clearblue fertility monitor - this is my first month using it and am hoping it does the trick! Mine was about £55 from amazon and the sticks were £13 for 20 (you'll either need to use 10 or 20 per month - it varies).

Olivia! Get calling that gyno, lady! x

I know how you feel hun, in the past 2 weeks alone 6 of my friends have announced their pregnancies on facebook! I'm happy for them but just can't help feeling jealouse, I should be 25 weeks pregnant now Anyway, onwards and upwards!

Wrt your cycle I think it's still a possibility that you're pregnant, maybe you ovulated a bit later? Test again in another coupla days. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Got my haemotology appointment through today girls - 9th March so things looking up x

 

[Amos2009]

Yay Fluffy! I got sorta good news today too- I have been referred to a Fertility Specialist on March 10th! They are going to start with a full blood work up! She also told me my endometriosis was not bad at all, so that's not a problem. Besides finding out how much this will cost me, I am kind of excited!

Yay Amos so glad the endo was mild. Hope they get it all straightened out at the FS.

 

[Amos2009]

Thanks Amy- how you doing today?

 

[puppymom32]

Amy
I'm good except I am all confused with my body but whats new. Pretty sure I o'd yesterday as my temp shot way up today but I had pain on both sides so have no ideal which side I ovulated on this month. Guess we will see. Pretty happy about our BDing schedule this month usually try every other day approach but this week we Bd Sun Mon skipped tues and twice yesterday gonna try one more time tonight just for good measure. DH leaves for Vegas on Sunday so looking forward to some alone time.

Do you know what your insurance will and will not cover as far as fertility treatment. Mine sucks and wont cover much. The did cover my Bloods and my tube removal. But had to pay for scans while on clomid and all the meds out of pocket. They also wouldnt cover an HSG. Hope urs is better. You are like me it will take a while but adventually they will straighten out all the things that are wrong with us and get us our BFP. Hope u r feeling better. Did they say anything about ur fibriod?

 

[KimmyB]

Yay for fluffyblue and amos! And Amy you're right, I'm sure they'll straighten out things and you'll get your BFP x
