Guest guest Posted February 28, 2000 Report Share Posted February 28, 2000 Hi ladies, My name is Lucas. I am 22 yrs old and I am currently going threw an ectopic pregnancy. I have lost 3 other babies because of a uterine anomaly and luteal phase defect. Let me begin with what's happening now. I finished a stimulated cycle of Humegon and went threw my 2 week wait and thought for sure that I wasn't pregnant. I had a beta done on the 14th day and like I thought it was negative. So I was sent home with a pack of birth control and told to start it the day I got AF. Well, AF decided that she would be a week late, probably because of the progesterone or the EP. When I did start it only lasted about 3 days and was very light. A week into my pill pack on last Monday night I started to have horrible abdominal pains. I thought for sure that I had something wrong with my gall bladder or something like that. My husband took me to the ER and the first thing they did was a beta. It came back positive at 256. I was amazed and in shock. After all I had just had a beta not 2 weeks before and it was negative. At that time the doc gave me 2 choices, a lap or Methotextrate. I chose the later because I didn't want to have another surgery. I have already had 4 because of the septum and D & C's from previous miscarriages. I took the shot and was sent home and within 30 minutes of leaving the hospital I was violently sick. I spent the next 2 days in front of the toilet throwing up and unable to keep anything down. I have never been that sick before in my life and have yet to recover all the way. So anyway, that Thursday after I went back to the doc to check my levels and of course they where going up not down. So once again I was sent home to worry about this and wonder if it would rupture any minute. Over the weekend I was in terrible pain and still very sick to my stomach. I went back in today for a repeat beta and an ultrasound and we seen nothing in my tubes or uterus. I am still having discomfort in my side and feeling sick at my stomach. So here I am, waiting for the nurse to call and tell me what my levels where. If there going down then I am O.K. If not then I will be having a lap tomorrow. I am very scared and I don't know what to expect next. I would have never dreamed this would happen to me. I knew that miscarriage was a big possibility but not EP. I have not been able to find a lot of info on EP nor have I found any advice on what to do or expect next. Please help me. Like I said I am so scared. I am afraid that I will never be able to get pregnant again without IVF and my insurance won't cover it so I will never be able to do that. Thanks so much for hanging in there I know this has been long. Thanks again, Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
