I know this may be daft as we have been trying but now it’s actually happened, can’t stop worrying! I had left tube removed in March and only just started trying again…felt numb when saw bfp this morning. :shock:
Is it really bad that I am feeling like this? Maybe it’s because it won’t be real until early scan time…
Im feeling the same, had my left tube removed in November and got my bfp a few days ago also
I know what you mean, i don’t feel like I can get excited until I see that its in the right place on the screen if it is ! just doesn’t feel real and mind racing with different scenarios.
people tell you to relax but its much easier said than done.
Congratulations to both of u I know how u both feel. After a miscarriage followed by a PUL Ectopic or miscarriage I was scared to be preg a 3rd time at 4.5 wks n getting twinges n pains especially on one side. But I had t wait till I was 6+3 after ringing my EPU at my local hospital to ask for an early scan n was so relieved to hear all was well. . Then had a further 12 wks scan n 17 wks scan and 20 wks scan and now at 30 wks preg all is still well. So if it can happen for me on my 3rd preg it can happen for both of u.
Im sending you both positive vibes n prayers n I hope u both have successfull scans n pregs.
Look after urself n remember even with healthy pregs after a while we feel twinges n pains as ur body adjusts n that can be perfectly normal.
Thanks Princess, it’s always fab to hear success stories. Hope everything keeps going well, not long now! I have had some little twinges and you can’t help but worry even though worrying doesn’t help. But trying to have PMA
I understand u can’t help but worry. . It’s normal. … I was the same. All u can do is take each day at a time n Aug 1st will soon be here. Iv got everything crossed for u. U deserve a happy ending n u still have hope so don’t give up. If u have any major concerns make sure u get checked iut asap at yr local hospital but in meantime try to know its normal to feel some twinges after a loss u notice everything alot more n you do get some pain as ur uterus stretches to prepare for ur baby.
I hope all goes well for u and let ne know how ur scan goes.
So much congrats princess pink that’s great news and very reassuring to hear right now as I’m in the same boat, 2 previous ectopics, left tube removed. Just got a positive test today and burst into tears as I’ve been having pains for 2 weeks and I’m positive it’s another ectopic. What were your pains like? Were they localised or both sides? Did you have back ache too?! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Any update from you other ladies either? Are you ok? I hope so. This is the worst thing in the world and I just can’t go through it a 3rd time
Lbav2steady how are you doing now? Congratulations on ur preg I know how scary it is after having previous losses. Try to stay positive n look after your self n start taking folic acid or pregnacare which has it in it plus vitamins daily.
Thank you so much
I remember finding out I was preg a 3rd time at 4.5 it worked out… I went docs who just congratulated me n gave me my due date.
I rang my local epu n told them my history n they booked me in for a 6+2 scan to check all was well.
I remember getting pains by my ovaries on right side mainly n a bit of backache n as preg went on id get pains both sides but mainly right side n id get groin pain so I did worry… I also got cramps in my legs like I do with periods.
I told my work re preg n took it easy there as work with todlers.
I had 6+2 scan at epu n all was well n they said I had ovulated from left sufe n baby n sac in right place n was a lil flicker was heartbeat n they booked 12 wks scan.
I never had blood taken til bookin in docs appointment at about 9 wks preg.
Its normal to have some pain n cramps as ur body adjusts n we are aware of so much after a loss… I use to feel pain after wen I ovulated.
I hope u n bubba are ok.
Remember to ring ur epu n book in an early scan. Some do it earlier but mine wouldn’t book it before 6 wks.
Thinking of u j praying for you n sending you hugs.
Let me know how you get on.
Try to relax n stay positive. That is what I did every day.
Thanks so much for coming back to me. I’m very scared and trying my best to stay calm, but as you know it’s the hardest thing in the world when you’ve had 2 previous ectopics.
I’ve had 2 blood tests showing a very healthy (more than double) hcg increase in 48 hours and also very healthy progesterone at 20 in my first test.
I’ve got an early scan booked in next Friday which will be 5+6.
I’m 4+6 today and have not had any bleeding yet, which gives me hope as on both my previous 2 ectopics I had started bleeding by now.
My pains sound very similar to yours, both sides, back, groin, legs. My worst pain Is actually on the side where I had my tube removed. It feels very tender and hurts a lot, especially after the first scan they gave me on Tuesday.
It’s the waiting game now and it’s killing me. I’d just rather know, either way…
Thanks for the support, these forums have got me through some very dark times xx
Hey Lbav2steady, No problem. I know how scary it can be getting preg again and these forums gave me a lot of support when I was stressed n panicky.
That is great news re ur hcg blood tests n ur progesterone level. That is very reassuring.
When I was at ur stage with this preg I wasn’t given any blood tests so I didn’t know what to think n its great u aint spotting or bleeding even thou that can be normal u just feel better not having any. I use to get obsessed with checking when going loo.
I know its so hard but all u can see is try to stay calm n positive as my bruv kept telling me u can’t control the outcome but I know its still so hard.
Im glad n hopeful ur preg symptoms sound similar to mine n so I pray for u all is well with u n ur bubba.
I remember getting more pain on right side was the side they had suspected my ectopic where they had seen something on my scan next to ovaries.
I really hope it all turns out well for u.
Take things easy n go get checked out rite away if u have any worries.
I hope Fri scan comes fast n all us in right place.
All u can do is try to stay calm n pray n do positive affirnations.
I’m guna pray hard for u that this is ur 3rd time healthy preg like I am having.
Im hear anytime u need to chat especially as I goon maternity leave on Mon.
Fingers crossed for you n sending u lotsa baby dust n hugs.
Hi Lbav2steady, im sorry iv only just seen u msg now. Im so sorry to hear this n I pray that all is going to be ok for u. It’s a good idea to go get checked out. U need to know either way. Did u go hosp? I really pray for u ur guna be ok. Im sending you hugs n positive vibes x x x
Hi Princess, had scan this morning and was in a bit of a state, crying before she had even started! But…we saw a teeny blob in the right place, measuring about 5w6 and she said she could see the heartbeat! I couldn’t see anything but then was crying with relief. I know there is a long way to go yet, but first hurdle is over - at least I know my right tube works!
Hi ladies, more bad news for me again I’m afraid. I went to A&E yesterday as the pain was getting worse in my right tube and I was continuing to have spotting.
My blood test showed a rapid decline in my hug levels so I know 2 things, 1 it’s highly unlikely that I will have another tube removal op, which is good and 2 the pregnancy is failing so it’s not my time.
What I don’t know is if it was another ectopic causing the pain and therefore if that means my remaining tube is also damaged.
I’m not in a good place right now and wondering if I should give up trying to conceive naturally now
M117 im really happy for u Just take each day as it comes n look after urself n try to stay positive I know how u feel as I cried outa relief at my scan too n was thinking the worst. Big Congratulations to u I hope u can relax more now n take it easy too x x x
Lbav2steady I am so sorry ur goin through this. Its so not fair.
U did the right thing going to A & E to get checked out.
I’m really sorry for the pain n upset ur goin through. Obviously u don’t want to loose another tube. I really hope ur preg isn’t failing… what have the hospital said to u? Did they give u a scan? If this preg of urs is failing then it is out of ur control n my heart goes out to u.
You need to deal with what is happening now n not be thinking or worrying about if u should continue to keep trying naturally.
I’m praying u get a miracle n this preg isn’t failing but if it is I just hope ur guna be ok n im so sorry for u. Its so unfair.
If that is the case u need to take each day at a time n focus on healing slowly mentally n physically n emotionally before u even start to think re ttc again.
The thought of trying again after one loss is two much let alone 2 or more. . I can’t believe I tried again after 2 losses but u can’t give up what ur heart wants. I know uv already had to losses n I pray for u that all will be ok. Im sending u hugs n lotsa love n prayers.
