Angel,

Why did the doctor only give you these two options?

Maybe you should have a second opinion. I guess I must

be a very stubborn person but if the doctor's didn't

give me the answer I was looking for I found another

one. After 2 m/c's my OB told me I would never have a

baby. So I went to another OB in the practice. When I

lost my 4th preg. at 23 weeks the Chief of Staff in

the Perinatal Dept. told me I could try again but

would probably get the same results. So once again I

found a new specialist, one that is positive that I

can have a live baby and made the Chief of Staff eat

his words when I got to 32 weeks.

I have found that so many doctors have different

opinions. When I was in delivery with my last baby the

OB and Specialist were disagreeing constantly. The OB

said the baby wasn't breech and the specialist said it

was. So they gave me an ultrasound to prove who was

right.

Anyway what I' trying to say is get a second opinion.

It's at least worth a try.

SCROLL DOWN

Your post gave me great hope. WE are starting ttc. soon, and my biggest

worry is that what if it is another ep., but after reading your post, I

realise for the first time that I do have a chance of a normal pregnancy.

Your doctors always tell you not to worry, that things will probably be fine

next time round, but I never quite believe them, because they can't give you

real statistics. You are the first person to say that you have had

successfull pg's after ectopic, and that gives me great hope.

thank you.

HI

let us know what the doctor had to say. Good luck!! I will be sending you

++++++++thoughts.

Here is a question for all of you. I know that the majority of you see an

RE. at which point did you start seeing them? After how many ep's or

miscarriages? I am only seeing a gynea. and my normal gp. but I would like

to know if it is advised to see a RE after one ep. I don't really have any

other reproductive problems, just hassles with my periods.(usually very

long, with bad cramps)

please let me know. The other thing is I started taking my temps. yesterday,

I have never done this before, so I am really feeling a bit insecure. How

important is it to take it at exactly the same time each day, would 5

minutes either way affect the reading? Also, I know that you have to take it

after atleast 2 or so full hours of deep sleep, but I toss and turn alot

during the hours leading up to when I wake up, will this make a difference?

I really feel like a novice at all this, and the only real reference I have

is what I read in fertility books and medical references. My gp. and gynea.

feel that it is too soon to be worrying about things like temps. and mucus

checks, but I have always been the kind of person that wants to know exactly

what is going on in my body, and after the ep. I don't like not knowing. I

also want to know the exact moment when I get pg. again, so that I can see

my gynea. a.s.a.p to confirm the location of the pg. before it gets too far

advanced. I know that I will not be able to relax and get exited about a

future pg. untill I have confirmation that it is not another ep. and once

the 3 month risk period for miscarriage has elapsed, so I want to get it all

out the way the sooner the better. I definately don't want another emergency

like last time. Can any of you help?

It's great to hear that someone else is in the same situation! I sometimes

feel so lonely where this is all concerned, all my close friends are

finished with the 'baby blues' and the ones that aren't have a great history

of conceiving while on the pill and using condoms! so they have no idea

where I stand. I have been taking my temps for 3 days now, and it has been

going fine, except that I have no idea what the normal varients are on a

daily basis, so I don't know really what I'm supposed to be looking for. I

know what happens at ovulation, so I will be able to detect that, but

before, how many degrees does your temp. usually vary on a day to day basis?

I am also taking prenatals for the folic acid, and trying very hard to keep

my diet healthy(for a pizza addict that is not so easy) I'm just waiting for

my next period, so that I know I've had one 'pill free' AF before trying

again, so if all goes well, we should be resuming the horisontal by mid.

November. Keep me updated on how you are getting on, we can exchange notes.

take care, and best of luck!! I will send you ++++++ thoughts!

Sonja,

I'm also unsure of what I will see when I begin charting temps. That's why

I think everyone says it takes about 3 months to see a clear pattern. I

have been off the bcp since August and probably will wait until Dec/Jan

before really ttc. I'm not real great about sticking to a healthy diet and

have anemia and am underweight (through no fault of my own - totally in the

genes). So my doc would like to see me take the vitamins for the next 2

mos or so before ttc. Here's a complaint - the prenatals I got are horse

pills. Does anyone take a specific brand that are smaller. Being

intubated ended my ability to easily swallow pills. I know it's a mental

block and not related to anything remotely physical, but I gag on every

pill and my eyes tear up. Before the surgery I could down 2 advil at once

w/out water, now forget it. So if anyone can recommend a small pill please

let me know.

Thanks!

Tara

I never heard of a pill cutter but I think I will stop at CVS this

afternoon and ask. It's absolutely horrible trying to swallow these

things!

Tara

Re: Angel's update

Tara,

My vits are horse pills also...can you get a pill cutter and cut them in

half (or even smaller?)

Sonja,

I'll check for the filibon and I'm going to look for a pill cutter. If

these fail I will be forced to start crushing them -yucky!!!!!! You would

think they would be smaller and the patient could just take 2. Go figure.

Krista, if you're out there surfing - hope you're doing well. I hear

you've been bored out of your mind. I read when I'm bored. That's all I

did after my surgery - I never watched TV. Pick a juicy novel and dive

right in, ask Todd to grab you one at the store. It would be interesting

to see what he picks. When I was recovering, dh picked up several for me

and I enjoyed them believe it or not. It's worth a try!

I am on prenatals called 'filibon' they are just a bit bigger than bcp's,

see if you could get some, otherwise, have you tried crushing them, and

drinking it with some water, or stuffed in a piece of bread?

good luck

I usually use two teaspoons sandwiched together. put the pill in the one

teaspoon, and use the rounded outerside of the other to 'crush' the pill,

just squish the two teaspoons around a bit to break the pill up, then you

can throw the powder into a small amount of water, and just swallow it down.

(tastes horrible, but does the job!)
