Guest guest Posted March 29, 2001 Report Share Posted March 29, 2001 >A question, I still have the scars from when they took the tube out and they are still a bit sore any good remedies?? HI , I used Silvadene and Saran Wrap. I know it sounds funny, Silvadene is usually used for burn victims but does decrease healing time. If you cover the area with Saran Wrap (and it must be Saran Wrap brand) it keeps air from touching the spot and helps the area to heal in 1/3 the time. maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2001 Report Share Posted April 1, 2001 , Welcome to the group. I am sorry that you had reason to find us, but I hope that you will find the support I have found here. I don't think it matters what age something so terrible as an ep happens, it can only be very difficult. My ep was in October 2000, and I am still dealing with it.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2001 Report Share Posted April 1, 2001 , Someone may already have answered, but I was very concerned about my scars, too. My ep was in October, and the scars still remain and are still red, especially the one in the pubic hair line because that one was so big. I have heard that it really honestly fade, and it seems to be fading a little already. Hope someone else has some good tips, too, and I might try them along with you.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 Hi , I know we haven't 'met' - I'm Terri - tx. w/methotrexate on 2/21 for EP. Try not to be too upset until you are sure there is something to worry about....you don't have the pregnancy test results yet. (Easier said than done, I'm sure.) Can you take a hpt? Maybe that will set your mind at ease somewhat. As everyone has said, it can take awhile to get your period after surgery, and pain is common too. Your doctor is probably just trying to be cautious and cover his/her bases. I hope today goes by quickly for you and your results are negative!!! Terri Hopgood wrote: Hi everyone I am in a state. I dont know if you remember but I sent an e-mail yesterday about not having a period since my ep. Well I went to the doctor this morning and he thinks I might be having another ep. I am only 17 and only have one tube left. I am so worried, I have to go back for the pg results tommorow morning (they did a very sensitive urine test). He said that if it is ep (I have been and continue to have pains) then I will have to go to the hospital tommorow to have surgery. I dont know what I am going to do all day I am sick with worry. My boyfriend is working away until tonight and I cant get hold of him on the phone. I am so worried that it might be another ep and they will take my last tube. Really looking for some support now guys. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 Hi , Oh honey I am so sorry. I presume that the sensitive urine test was positive?? First try not to panic(I know easier said than done).If it is ep( lets keep our fingers crossed that it isn't)then maybe it should be caught in time and you won't have to lose your last tube. Your in my thoughts and prayers. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 , I am so sorry that all of this is happening. I know the state of panic you must be in. Have you done a home pregnancy test yet? maybe that will help calm you a bit. I will be praying that everything is o.k. and it is just because of your recent surgery, that you haven't got your period yet.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 , It's very hard not to worry, but there is still a chance that you are either not pregnant or that it is not another ep. Even if it turns out that it is (hoping not!), it is not definite that you would lose the other tube because it may still be early enough that something else could be done. It has to be so scary, though, I know. Please hang in there and think as positive as you can and let us know as soon as you find out anything. Maggie (unknown) Hi everyone I am in a state.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2001 Report Share Posted April 2, 2001 amanda Everything will be okay. I recommend a hpt. Try and see what it says. The doctor is probably just being cautious and everything is normal. It can take a while before getting your period after an ep. Everything is fine, just relax. Go take a bath. You are probably hurting because you are fixing to start your period. good luck. keep us posted love Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
