I have pasted a copy of a post from the main board in here to see if anyone is able to help Julie??
Hi
Sorry for all those who have been through this or similar.
Had 2 ectopics in same tube. one tube remains that appears ok. Some adhesions. 1st ectopic through natural conception with clomifene 2nd ectopic through IVF after 2 embryos implanted. Still unsure what happened to second embryo.
1st took 1.5 yr to conceive and 2nd after another year try naturally went for IVF. I’m 37 now and last AMH reading in dec was 7.9. FSH always been ok.
Hoping any fellow sufferers may offer any experiences on IVF vs natural conception after similar experiences?
I have been through IVF successfully after one attempt (only one embryo implanted) and the second pregnancy was ectopic with right tube removed. At the point of starting IVF my AMH was 8 and I was 34. Chances of success were 37%. I did not even consider the possibility of an ectopic, I was so sure everything will be OK.
An embryo that does not implant itself will get absorbed by your body. They should have explained that to you. I am sorry for your loses and wish you the very best of luck with your next cycle. xx
Hi. I am also considering IVF after my last ectopic. Now have one tube. I am 39. Have two children. Had two ectopics.
But time is ticking and I want to give myself possibly more opportunities. Feeling depressed about it all and hate the waiting. It leaves me with black cloud feeling all the time.
I was diagnosed with unexplained and low fertility after trying naturally to conceive.
I was referred for IVF. The first round was abandoned at the last minute due to stenosis cervix, and our blastocysts were quickly frozen, and I waited whilst having dilation surgery on my cervix. (Cervix was scarred almost shut due to previous lletz treatment for pre cervical cancer cellls).
The second frozen transfer round of one embryo resulted in the blastocyst travelling up my fallopian tube, and ectopic surgery at 12 weeks, after going in and out of hospital with symptoms but no show until 4th scan and being perilously close to rupture. Tube and baby loss, further diminishing fertility. Still feeling grief a year later.
I had a second frozen transfer of two blastocysts. I had an early scan at 6 weeks due to the ectopic, and obe blastocyst had implanted, but the other absorbed by my body. I was petrified it had not absorbed and was an undiscovered ectopic after last year’s experience.
I am now 36 weeks pregnant and not long now. It’s the anniversary of the ectopic so all manner of mixed emotions are surfacing, but on the whole I feel very lucky. I don’t know if we could have conceived naturally. IVF has been a rollercoaster but I hope this baby is ok and we can celebrate a new life. I wish you luck on your journey.x
