Guest guest Posted September 12, 2001 Report Share Posted September 12, 2001 , I am soooooo sorry for your losses. I have had two myself... last august an ep and lost my right tube and in January I had a m/c. I know the devastation and pain you are feeling, as does everyone here. My only advise to you about ttc is wait until you are emotionally ready... only you and dh will know when that is. Also, after two ep's, I was wondering if you were going to a fertility specialist?? This is something I would also suggest. You will find a lot of understanding, support and love here. Without these women, I would have lost my mind a long time ago. They hold me up when I think I can't go on anymore.... we are all here for you. lisa r PS. We have several lisa's, so you might want to use your last intitial also... We have a lisa r (me!!) and a B and F.... it just helps to keep us all straight!! We also have a ~ Maree... (ya know I couldn't forget you girl!!)

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2001 Report Share Posted September 13, 2001 , I am very sorry for your losses. I wish you would of never had to suffer those losses. It is truly heartbreaking. I had an ep in Dec. 00, it was our first time trying. As you know, it wipes you out mentally and physically. I really didn't have much hope for my future, until I joined this board and began to hear some of the sad stories that had a happy ending. I hope you find the same comfort and support I have hear. I know it must seem so hopeless right now but please take care of yourself. I felt the same way, I didn't want to ttc again and than felt I had to ttc right away to try to fill some kind of " void. " It is very scary to ttc but only you and your dh will know when the time is right. I wish I could say something that could take your pain away but I know I can't. It will take a long time but please take care and keep us informed of what your dr. says. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2001 Report Share Posted September 14, 2001 J, Welcome to the group. I wish it was under better circumstances that we were meeting. I hope you will find the group to be extremely supportive and an all around wonderful group of ladies. I'm sorry but I don't have many answers for you, but I do have questions if that's okay. I am curious about the bubbles in your left tube...did anyone ever explain what that was or what it was caused by? Do you know which tube the first ectopic was in? I would definately agree with doing the HSG again...in fact you may want to even consider seeing a RE (reproductive endocrinologist) and asking them if there are any other tests you should have done..have you thought about seeing an RE? Please take care and allow yourself time to heal. Don't force yourself to decide about ttc right now...you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do in that regard. We will be hear you to listen your thoughts and concerns along the way. -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know which tube the first ectopic was in? The bubbles were in the dye contrast that they flushed through my tubes. They said it was quite common for it to happen. I wonder if the bubbles didn't remain there and cause my first ectopic a month later (it was in my left tube). I had not thought about seeing an RE because my hormone levels are normal, and I do not have PCOS. I do have Luteal Phase Defect, and was prescribed Clomid to regulate it. I conceived on my first cycle of clomid both times I have taken it, both conceptions resulted in ectopic pregnancies. I was on P4 support this pregnancy (100mg suppositories 2x/day), even though my level was 25. I am going to request an HSG and folloscopy (which not only checks if your tubes are clear, but also the condition and if they are functioning properly). Then, we will start again with the clomid. I have received a great many emails since joining this board a few days ago. I want to say thankyou for all of the kind words. It is so nice to know that there are people out there who understand what I am going though. soapprincess@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 16, 2001 Report Share Posted September 16, 2001 Hello , I don't remember 'meeting' you...but I go through periods where I am unable to read messages. I was treated this past Feb. for an ectopic pregnancy and have been ttc for a few months. I'm so sorry for your two losses. Were both of your ectopics on the same side? I am now trying to decide if I should even ttc or just pursue ivf. I had an hsg last month which showed my ectopic side to be open and my other " good " side to be blocked. I am so tormented and terrified by the thought of creating another ep. I have an appt. with fertility spec. at the end of Oct. but am contemplating going on Clomid this month. If I were to have another ep I think I would request to have both of my fallopian tubes removed. I really don't know what to do at this point, and I am feeling paralyzed. How accurate is folloscopy? Do you think you will be confident if it shows your tubes are normal? How are you working through the fear of another ectopic?? Mine seems to be only getting worse as time goes on.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2001 Report Share Posted September 17, 2001 J, " I had not thought about seeing an RE because my hormone levels are normal, and I do not have PCOS. I do have Luteal Phase Defect, and was prescribed Clomid to regulate it. I conceived on my first cycle of clomid both times I have taken it, both conceptions resulted in ectopic pregnancies. " The only reason I asked about the RE is because of you have had multiple ectopics. Many times REs are also much more knowledge about tubal issues then a regular OB/gyn. It may be something to consider for the future, but totally up to you. I just wanted to mention it. I hope that your HSG and folloscopy will give you wonderful resuls and this is something you won't even need to worry about. -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hello, my name is and I have followed this food plan for one week. Today I had a success. I felt badly about things going on in my life and began thinking of foods that I choose not to eat. Instead I did constructive activity and ate my planned snack. I am facing quite a fight. I am 59 years old, recovering from lymphoma and a false diagnosis of recurrence with one week of inpatient chemotherapy behind me. This includes weakness and hair loss again. I chose the WW flex plan because I feel I can follow it healthy and it is enough food. This compared to the food plan I followed on and off for years from an eating disorders 12 step program. I'd be interested in hearing from any of you who have changed from a 12-step approach to WW or are doing both. I keep looking at my stationary bike, but really I am still trying to simply muster the energy to fulfill my daily living requirements. Today's exercise was cooking my dinner and washing the kitchen dishes. Oh, yes, and I did fill the salt shaker! I read with envy about those of you who are running and jumping and having fun with your bodies and exercise. Thanks for your posts. They are great encouragement.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Welcome! It sounds to me like you're going to do just fine following the WW plan, which doesn't officially start introducing exercise until week 3. If you can work it in, great - but don't sweat it. I just began week two, and I don't have the mental energy right now for exercise - I'm still strugggling with what/how to eat. Don't get too far ahead of yourself! {{hugs}} lori_r wrote: > Hello, my name is and I have followed this food plan for one week. > Today I had a success.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Thank you, , This helps. Now I know that I shouldn't worry about the bike for another week or so. _____ From: Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 6:16 PM To: Serious-Weight-Watchers Subject: Re: Intro and questions Welcome!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Hi , welcome!..You already show your strength in the first few lines. Sounds like your off to a nice start with WW. Exercise is introduced like said in the 3 wk or 4th wk or so..can't remember which.. Start slowly and go from there.. When I first started it was with walking for only 10 min, just about all I could do, now I could walk all day..and love it..Best to you in everything...~~Kallie~ ----------------------------------------- In Serious-Weight-Watchers , " lori_r " wrote: > Hello, my name is and I have followed this food plan for one week. > Today I had a success.
