Re: hello's to all

[Guest guest]

Sonja,

I borrowed my copy of TCOYF from the library. We have an inter library

loan program, so I can get any book in print. It might be worth checking

into.

I'd love to be a charter member of CTSAAF - LMAO

hello's to all

Hiya all, well for some reason I am still not receiving any mail, so I

have to read everything here on our site. I will let you know as soon

as it is sorted.

Sharyn,

Your theory of bcp and ep connection makes alot of sense. I conceived 2

weeks after stopping the bcp's and that was the ep. I've had 3

different docs. tell me since then that it was probably the bcp's that

caused the ep. Apparantly what happens is the bcp's basically paralyse

the little hairy thingies in your tubes, which makes it impossible for

the egg to be transported to the uterus.

This is caused by all the hormones in the bcp's. I read up on bcp's and

their effects, and the risk of having an ectopic is apparantly rather

high within the first 2 months after coming off them. Off course it

depends on your bodies natural ability to recover after the pill,

whether it takes longer or shorter.

But yes, I think there is substantial evidence to support this theory.

I had none of the risk factors for ectopics, and all the docs. I saw in

the hospital after asked me if by chance, I just came off bcp's. When

I saw my gynea. on Friday, he asked me again if I had reason for the

ectopic, or if it was post-pill.

We should actually look into this further, because I think the bcp

manufacturors should start giving us all the facts in the leaflets,

including this life threatening one..

I am so sorry that the hag messed you around this month also. It seems

that she is in a bad mood this time, since she has messed so many of us

around. We should declare war!! Hang in there, though, we will all beat

her eventually, and in the mean time, we can go through this together.

We can form a group, called CTSAAF (courtney tara sonja against AF)LOL.

I actually read up on HCG levels on a gynea. site, and they said that

the important thing is for your numbers to increase, not nessicarily

double. So don't loose heart yet, your numbers have increased from the

start, so it may all very well be perfectly fine. I will keep both you

and baby in my thoughts and prayers, and I know this doesn't help much,

but we are all here for you.

(((((HUGS)))))

On my side, I am now CD#4, and still determined to do everything in my

power to win this battle.I have been taking my meds. and they help a

bit, but not much, but I think as ? said the pains aren't the

same as the ep. pains, more like streching twinges. I am aware of them

the whole time, but they aren't nearly as painfull as the ep. pains,

just like pins and needles..

Right now I am desperately trying to get hold of TCOYF, it is

apparantly out of print here, so no one seems to have it.I can order it

from overseas, but it will cost me a small fortune (which I don't

have)The publishers are trying to get hold of a copy for me,I will

phone them later to get the update.

AF is rather mild at the moment, strangely since she hit me with a

vengeance, but I am not complaining.I just want to get to O now, so we

can start this cycle in earnest.

anyways, good luck to all,and I am thinking of every one of you.

take care

sonja
