Guest guest Posted March 14, 2001 Report Share Posted March 14, 2001 Hi , Welcome to the group. I am sorry you had to find us but I think you will find that these women are really supportive, sweet, and knowledgeable. I recently joined and honestly, it has been a blessing. I had so many emotions, I didn't know if I was " normal " but come to find out I am (well, as close as I am going to get!lol) Anyway, I had my ep Dec 00. Dr. treated me with metho. inj but before b/w back, it ruptured and I had surgery to remove my rt tube. I have been waiting to schedule my hsg (if I am lucky, this month) I know it can be so hard to sit around and wait but I am sure it will happen for you and dh soon. Meanwhile, you now have us to talk or vent anytime. Also, let me congratulate you on deciding to stop smoking! I know it is hard to do. (Eps happen for many different reasons, so try not to feel bad your that smoking might of had something to do with ep, no one could ever really say) Just good luck now and hope to talk to you again.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2001 Report Share Posted March 15, 2001 Hi , Welcome to the group, although I am sad that you, too, had reason to find us. I am sorry to hear about your losses. I had an ep in October of 2000. I am also 28. I hope you find the support here that I have found. Maggie Hi! To all: I would like to introduce myself to the group. My name is and I am 28 years old. My first ectopic preg. was in December of 1999. DH and I were not TTC, but surprise! I was spotting (having no pain)and I didn't have a clue why, so I went to the gyn and I tested +. I then had an HCG and the preg. was confirmed. At this time, she didn't think it was an ectopic. It was a Friday, so she told me to come back on Monday for another HCG. I went back, had the HCG. My Gyn read the results and said that there was no wayit could be a normal preg. because my levels were not rising enough. She said that there a couple of choices for me to make. I could have a D & C to look for tissue to rule out an ectopic, or she could go ahead and treat it like an ectopic and give me a shot of Methotrexate. After looking at the risks of the D & C, I elected to assume it was an ectopic and took the shot. It worked very well, and the preg. was absorbed. My second ectopic happened in June of 2000.Well, it was early June, so DH and I probably got pregnant in May. Anyway, it was a surprise again, because we were still no actively TTC. This time, I started spotting suddenly and there was pain in my left side. I called the doctor and went directly to the office. My reg. doctor was off on family leave, so I saw another in the practice. He instantly gave me a preg. test and it was +. Then he sent me for a transvaginal. They found the ectopic on my left side, and a cyst on my right ovary the size of an egg. They again treated it successfully with methotrexate. A couple months later at a routine pap, he said, " Well, you don't have any trouble getting pregnant, it's just in the wrong place. " He then suggested to me that I could have an HSG to rule out blockage in my tubes. So, DH and I elected to have the HSG. I took 4 Advil like they said to, and it was so painful I thought I would scream! After, I bled quite a bit and was in a little shock. The results of my HSG were normal. No blockages. After this my regular Gyn. returned to work and looked at my chart under the other Doc. She said everything looked good, except that no one had followed up on the cyst they had found during the 2nd ectopic. She ordered an ultrasound (normal and transvag.) Nothing was found. She said the cyst had gone away on its own. Now, DH and I have been TTC since January 2001, and nothing has happened. I quit smoking on New Years Eve for this purpose and I have done well. I don't know if the smoking caused the ectopics, but I hope the damage is reversible. I am also overweight, but I don't expectany problems because of this. Hope to hear from some of you. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
