Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 , (((((HUGS))))), Welcome to a safe place to explore your feelings and find tremendous support. When I stumbled on this group in July,2000 I was amazed to find so many people had gone through/were going through exactly what I was. You can feel free to ask questions, get advice or just vent. When my RE told me I had an EP, I didn't even know what it meant, so I have had a lot to learn. I know it's an extremely painful and confusing time just know we are all here for you whenever you need us. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Welcome : I am also fairly new to this group, and have found it to be a wonderful source of support. I had my ep discovered on September 12 (I was 7 1/2 weeks pg) and was given an injection of metho, rather than surgery. I had the same thing, on my ultrasound they did see a normal sac in the uterus, but saw the mass growing in my tube. Horrible. I'm now in the slow process of waiting for my HCG to go down--my last level, at 3 weeks past metho, was 3,650--so I've probably got a few weeks to wait still. Do you still have your fallopian tube intact after the surgery? I'm sorry you had to go through the ep, but you've found the right place to vent and learn. Pam: I'm sorry to hear about your negative test and I'm wishing you the best for your biopsy. Krista and : Thanks for the welcome, and sorry for my delayed response. I'm also on digest, so I'm a little behind. Yesterday, I got another piece of bad news. When I found out I was pregnant (with what turned out to be the ep), they had given me a panel of blood tests to test my autoimmune system. Apparently, antibodies are a major cause of early miscarriages, and I've had 3. Yesterday I learned that I was a low positive for one of them (which apparently only requires taking baby aspirin to thin the blood), but they also found out that I have NK cells (natural killer cells). From what I understand, these cells attack anything foreign in the body, like a developing embryo. I've got to go in on Tuesday for another bloodtest to confirm because they said there's a lot of false positives, but it's just one more thing to worry about. After learning of the ep, I was thinking that my other 3 early miscarriages were because my tubes are blocked--but now I realize it could be because of these antibodies, or maybe I have both problems. Can I scream? I've heard about a lot of people who take heparin, but the therapy they want to talk to me about is called something else. I can't even remember what it is because they were throwing all this medical terminology at me. Has anyone else tested positive for antibodies? Have a good day all, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
