Guest guest Posted December 20, 1999 Report Share Posted December 20, 1999 Hello, I am recovering from an ep on 11/11/99. The tube was saved. I then had metho on 11/29. After the first lap I had excruciating shoulder pain and continue to have it off and on. After metho, the pain would not let up and my docs decided to go and take out the tube on 12/2. I was back in the hospital again on 12/13 due to more " attacks " of abdominal and shoulder pain. They have not determined the definite cause of this pain and I am frustrated. Anyone else have any of these types of complications? I have used all of my sick time (that I was saving for maternity leave) and now am losing pay for every day that I miss. I still have not totally healed physically so the emotional healing has yet to begin. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage 11/15/93. It took almost a year to get pregnant again so I know what it is like to be disappointed each month and keep temperature charts. My son was born July 1, 1995 and we were hoping for a brother or sister for him. I am actually glad that they went back in and took the tube out because I didn't want to have another ep. My doc said that chances are not cut in half with only one tube. Gratefully, I am back at work today, catching up on things. In reading the postings, I understand the majority of the abbreviations, but some I am not clear how they came about - I could use a little help there! Sorry about the choppy disjointed note here - so much to say but not enough time! Thanks, Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 1999 Report Share Posted December 20, 1999 Patti, I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's an awful thing to go through but we're all here for you. These ladies have the softest shoulders to cry on. They also have pretty tough ears when you want to bend them! If I'm not mistaken, is the shoulder pain caused by the pain in your abdomen? I experienced a touch of that in the hospital right after I had my ep back in Sept. I'm not all that knowledgeable about all the aspects of an ep so forgive me if I'm wrong. I'm sure someone will help you out. Everyone here is great and extremely supportive. Did you find it any consolation knowing you had a child to come home to? I know it helped me pull through that awful experience. I hope you find what you need here. I know I did. Take care, L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 1999 Report Share Posted December 21, 1999 Dear Patti: Welcome to the group, although I wish we could meet under different circumstances. I suffered a miscarriage (m/c) in 7/97 and then an ectopic pregnancy (ep) in 11/98. My tube ruptured, so I lost the tube immediately...there was no hope of saving it. Even though I did not go through all you did, I lost 8 weeks of work (and pay) while I recovered. It was not easy...and emotionally I had a very difficult time as well. You will find this to be a very warm and supportive group of women. We are in every stage of recovery after ep, from the early physical and emotional stages to trying to conceive (ttc) again after our loss. A couple of us (Krista, the moderator and myself) are pregnant after losses...Krista via IVF and myself naturally. We use scroll space to discuss our pregnancies, as well as artificial reproductive technologies (ART - IVF etc) and ttc. This way anyone that is feeling sensitive can ignore the message easily. Any time you don't understand an abbreviation, feel free to ask. We are glad you have found us, and hope you will find the support you need here.
