Methotrexate no fallopian tube removed. I have been testing since and never a bfp.
AF was due yesterday I walked around all day with a pad on and nothing. I decided if she didn’t come I would test this morning with the test I had from last month. I tested and stared at it and it was negative for the first minute or two then I got line eyes. After about 3 minutes line Eyes turn into a clear positive although light. I set up a doctors appointment for tomorrow morning I am feeling hopeful grateful not yet excited or overjoyed. More than anything I am wanting to know if baby is in uterus.
About two weeks before ovulation I tried the castor oil packs I use a heating pad. after a couple of days I started to get some light bleeding of old dark blood. This was very strange for me I never get mid-cycle bleeding. The reason why I started the castor oil packs was because I was convinced I had blocked tubes and my insurance did not cover a hsg test until at least 2 pregnancy losses or one year of trying with no success. I’m not sure if the castor oil packs help me conceive this cycle but I got my bfp today.
After an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured.
Usually doctors carry out an internal transvaginal scan at around six weeks with subsequent pregnancies after an ectopic. This is because there is a reasonable chance of seeing an embryo around this six week mark.
We advise contacting your local EPU, reminding them of your ectopic pregnancy and booking an appointment. If you are unable to self refer, contact your GP who will be able to do this for you.
Whilst I do not wish to alarm you, I sadly have to remind you that if you experience any unusual bleeding, abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain, bladder or bowel problems or feel dizzy and unwell to seek urgent medical advice.
Sending much love,

Doctor doesn’t know what to make of my Beta at this point. I will get another HCG done at 25 DPO to see if my numbers continue to decrease, go up a little, or shoot up. I pretty much have manage to hold on to a sliver of Hope but I’m pretty sure I’m out. no bleeding little pain here and there.
It was another ectopic. Same side. I was and still am heartbroken. Im 3 cycles away from 1 year after 1st ectopic and i was hoping i would be pregnant successfully by 1 year.
Just reached 1 yr anniversary of 1st ectopic. It was so hard on me and it was my birthday. Im still struggling with both the ectopics. I just want another successful pregnancy.
I’m so sorry about what happened to you it must be so heartbreaking, I can only imagine. Happy birthday and good luck for the next year…I wish you all the best things!
I very much understand that strong desire to conceive. I appreciate how frustrating it can be if it isn’t happening as quickly as we would like. Conceiving successfully can take time and can take some couples more than a year or so.
Importantly, help is available if conceiving naturally has not yet been successful after some time trying - and the EPT advises that women under 35 should seek medical advice following 12 months trying to conceive and those over 35 should seek advice after 6 months. As you have been trying for over a year, I would think it worthwhile speaking to your doctors who can look into any appropriate tests for you and your partner and investigate further.
Sending much love and warm hugs,

I just found this website and thread today and I’m freaking out that you just posted you got a bfp again!!! My fingers AND toes are crossed for you!! Please keep posting updates! I wish you all the luck!!
Ectopic in remaining tube egg picked up by right tube from left ovary.
Treated with methotrexate not sure what to expect even though I’ve been through this twice. My levels were never this high. Best of luck to everyone out there.
I’m among the few who have experienced this travesty 3 times.
