Hi ,

First off, I guess I did lots of research, and joined the ep

group...really I didn't do anything on the advice of my ob/gyn. He

didn't even recommend an hsg, now I'm not sure if that's because I had 3

prior pregnancies without complications, it might be. I did get

pregnant with no trouble after just two months of trying. I do have to

tell you that I've never had a problem getting pregnant. My dr. said if

I didn't get pg in 6 months of trying to come in and we'd maybe try

clomid. It is hard to say if you should go to a specialist or not, they

may have something really helpful to say, I'd hate for you to waste a

bunch of time trying if there is a realy problem that an RE can

recognize and treat and help you to get pg sooner. Alot of women here

have had the HSG where it checks the condition of your remaining tube.

The first thing you need to do even if you suspect you are pg is go to

your DR ASAP and get a blood test, and have it done every 2-3 days to

see if the #'s are doubling as they should, then they'll do an early

ultrasound to confirm the baby is where it should be. As far as how

long the pain lasts....the physical pain did not last very long for me,

maybe just a month, the emotional was quite a bit longer...plus I had to

go through the holidays too. I think it was January before I found the

ep group and the healing began. We split off from that group in Sept 99

I think, and I've been here ever since. The support from this group is

so fantastic. I had friends and support all through the ttc, pregnancy

and even now (we love to share baby pictures..) One thing that did come

out of the ep was I could tell what side I was ovulating on, that was

really helpful when it came down to ttc, to see if it was the " good "

side or not. I kind of kept a little chart of when was the fertile

time, etc.

I've started drinking hot chocolate with my lunch! It's such a nice

treat and I guess it's better than eating a candy bar. It makes being

at work a tad bit better.

Thanks. the problem is that I live in very very very small town and I am not confident in the drs here. Thats why I thinking of seeing a specialist when I am ready to get pg again. I will probably go to NYC or Albany to see a really good doctor.

I'm sorry it's taken me so long to welcome you to our group - Welcome!

I had a normal, healthy pregnancy the first time which resulted in my 7 year old daughter, Olivia. When we began trying for a second child, I ended up having 5 losses. Three of them were EP's that required treatment. The first loss was an EP that was removed surgically, though I was able to keep my tube. The second loss was either a miscarriage or an EP that resolved itself. Nothing was ever documented to be in the uterus. The third loss was also like the second one - nothing ever found in the uterus, but no treatment was necessary. The fourth and fifth losses were EP's that were treated with Methotrexate. They quickly resolved and I was able to again keep both of my tubes.

After 5 losses we decided to quit trying for a second child - and I was ok with that. I considered my self very blessed to have Olivia and also very lucky to be alive. I felt that continuing TTC was like playing Russian Roulette given my history. Well, about 4 months after accepting the fact that we were not going to have any other children, I got pregnant again. From the very moment I knew I was pregnant, I felt that everything would turn out ok. It did and I gave birth 7/20 to a second daughter, Emma.

So, please be optimistic. EP's are scary and loosing pregnancies are heartbreaking... but it is very, very possible to go on to have successful, healthy pregnancies! I hope you like being a part of this group. Everyone here is so wonderful - we are all like family! Are you also a member of the EP group?

Well, it's been a long time since I've actually written my history out, it still is hard for me to accept and still makes me sad when I think about it. Once again, welcome!

I think the whole world + 1 has seen my private part the past month. Thank you for your kind words.

,I wouldn't worry about just having one tube. Lots of women have successful pgs with only one tube. When I was being set up for surgery, the nurse told me about his wife who only had one tube and how she kept getting pg and having all these babies. In a way, I wish they had taken my tube out. I have endometriosis and I wonder if it won't grow back in the tube (they scraped alot of it out during the surgery) and cause me to have another ep when I least expect it.I'm sorry that you have had to go through so much physical/emotional pain and agony. And you are constantly reminded of what happened when you see your stomach. But things will get better in time.the hsg test wasn't bad for me, a lot like a pap smear. It's just kind of embarrasing--two more people (the doc and the nurse) who have to see your privates. You are in my prayers.Janice31 wks> thank you. 30 days to get your period. WoW I did not expect that. I cant imagine going thru my period again. I went thru so much pain and agony since sept 27th. You are very lucky they were able to save your tube. My drs did not detect the ep untill it was too late.

I forgot to mention I also lost my right tube and I am very fortunate because I get pg very easily. I'm sure you will too.

Hi ! I'm a little behind on posts, but wanted to respond to some of

your questions (even though I'm sure most of the other ladies already have).

I think being scared ttc again is VERY normal. Everybody I've ever talked

to after an ectopic has been scared...but they go on and try because the

desire to have a baby is greater then that fear. Nobody can say with

certainity that you will definately be able to conceive, but your chances

are better that you will have a normal pg then they are that you will have

another ectopic. It don't think it is necessary to immediately seek the

help of a specialist unless you know you have a specific condition which

caused the ep in the first place (like a tubal disease for instance), but

even after saying that, if you would like to see a specialist and it makes

you feel more comfortable, then by all means go ahead and do so.

We will all be here to support you through ttc. Ask anything you'd like.

My cleaning lady just came over with her brand new 3 month baby. I thought it would be okay for me to watch the baby while she cleaned, but I could not do it. I kept thinking to myself, this should have been me. Why did she get to have a healthy baby, shes not even married! She got knocked up by mistake. Here I am trying to get pregnant three years into my marriage, and this happens to me. UGH! Sorry I had to vent.

My scar hasn't completely healed, but it is only very, very, very slightly

noticeable...almost the same color as my skin.

Also, I only have one tube and am 32wks pg now! Try not to be too

discouraged by only having one tube...there are many women who only have 1

tube who go on to have children. After my ectopic, I found out my

grandmother only has 1 tube..not due to ectopic, but can't remember why the

one was removed, but she went on to have 4 children.

I know it's hard to see babies at first sweetie. Just make sure she doesn't bring her anymore. It's probably best to avoid babies for the first while. I know most of the ladies had a hard time with them for awhile after their losses. You are completely normal. Vent all you want, we understand.

How far away is NYC or Albany? My ob/gyn is 30 minutes away even though

there are dr.s and a hospital in our little town....I'd never go there

for anything other than an ear infection though, that hospital scares

me!!! It might be worth it, get lots of referrals from friends, etc.,

I got my ob/gyn referral from my SIL who was a labor and delivery nurse,

she recommended this dr. because, well, she worked with him and everyone

loved him patients and co-workers. He is an absolute doll. I've never

heard one of his patients say one bad word about him, and it turns out I

know lots of people that go to him.

I know exactly how you feel. I work in a pharmacy and see this all the time. The other day a 16 yr old patient came in with her baby. She must have delivered close to my due date. I was upset.

I just ended up praying and said, "ok God, I guess there is reason why she is a mom at 16 and I am not at 32". I prayed for patience. I know we WILL be moms, but sometimes it's just soooooooo tough.

The reason that these 16 year old are having so many kids is that they are ignorant. The younger you are the better your chances are at not having an ectopic or a miscarriage. Us old folks have to keep our finger, toes and whatever else crossed to make sure this doesn't happen to us again. I know we will be mommies soon. BUT the nest time I see someone smoking who is pregnant, esp. a teen, I swear I am going right up to them and slapping them in the face and tell them they are jerks for smoking while pregnant. Or something like that I have this scenario in my head but I have not completely planned it out.

It will get easier to see people from all walks of life with babies

in time. Right after my ep, I had to skip church a few times because

most of the people in our church are in their 20s and 30s and they

have small children. It's all they talk about and it was just too

much for me. There was one Sunday where I thought I was going to

scream if we didn't leave church immediately. Of course dh didn't

understand and we had a major row when we got home.

You're not thinking clearly right now, which is normal. I still get

angry when I go get the births for the newspaper I work for and see

all these parents having kids who are in the crime reports alot. But

life is far from fair.

, Thanks, if I have a little girl, I think mommy will definitely take you up on support through the ear piercing. Most people that see me so far seem to think I am having a boy so we shall see. I didn't know Kim lived down here....? That is fantastic, all A's for Olivia!!!! She should be quite proud of herself too!!!! Congrats to her!! I know, time goes so fast, I can remember seeing the post that you had your little baby girl (gosh, seems like yesterday) and now she is growing so fast!! I am going to be horrible when the baby is born, I mean, when my niece was a baby and toddler, I would always joke and say that she wasn't allowed to grow up!! Now I tell her that she never listened to me (she will be 13 this month) and she just laughs at me!!!! I am glad Emma and Olivia are doing so well!! Hi ,Yes, I think we will have to wait and see what kind of baby you have in that tummy! Then, if appropriate, we'll be here to help you through ear piercing! :)Yes, it is a small world! If I still lived in South Florida, you, Kim and I could get together! Shoot, you two still could! :)Olivia and Emma are doing terrific, thanks for asking. Olivia just got her first report card and I'm very proud to say that she earned straight A's!!Emma is growing up so quickly. She's still a lightweight, but I just see her changing before my eyes, despite my efforts to keep her as "newborn" as possible <sniff, sniff>. I can't wait for your little one to get here. I can't believe that you only have 7 weeks left. Wow, what a wonderful Holiday season you and Don are going to have. Take care Sweetie! {{{HUGS}}}
