Hi everyone
Huge hug to anyone going through this. I am 1 week into being managed conservatively for a right tubal ectopic. My numbers are 150 and I get checked again soon. The consultant told me afterwards there is only a 10 percent chance this can happen again . My question is if the tube was potentially damaged in the first place and now it will have potentially more scar tissue how can it only be such a small chance for reoccurrence? It’s all a bit confusing ! Xxx
In sAme position. Blood levels slowly falling. Bizarrely feel more sick now than I did before!
I’m trying to ignore the statistics… I don’t think they’re all that helpful.
However, I know of 4 women who all had a normal pregnancy then an ectopic with tubal rupture and then removal, who have All conceived within a year and then had a healthy child. One of them did go on to have another ectopic. So in my mind, the chances of conceiving successfully are 100% which is more important than whether you have another ectopic or not. I think having expectant management rather surgical reduces chance of future ectopic as less damage to the tube, and obviously no rupture so 2 tubes left intact. It’s easy to feel 'damaged ’ in some way, but the human body is remarkable, and recovers well.
Big hugs to you, I know how you feel x
My first ectopic (June) was expectantly managed, I conceived quickly afterwards in a few months (Oct) and sadly that was also ectopic in the same tube, this time I had surgery to remove the tube as it was still growing.
I have just had BFP having been trying since January, have fingers crossed all ok this time.
I also have a good friend who has been expectantly managed and two months later had a normal healthy pregnancy, she has lovely little boy now.
So two varied stories but I hope that answers your questions a bit. I have personally come to the conclusion that sometimes you’re lucky and other times you aren’t. Last year was an unlucky one for me. Hopefully this one will be better and your next pregnancy will be a successful one.
I’m in the same position. One week into expectant management. I know my hcg level is falling but I still have twinges in my left tube. Also, still bleeding. It’s a strange feeling when you know that you are healing and your body is letting you know!
I am also wanting to try again soon. The consultant told me to wait until I have one normal period.
We were trying sort of casually before the tubal but now, I’m feeling more ambitious! Now that I’ve experienced conception, it feels real. Pregnancy isn’t somethig that happens to other people anymore.
The chances are in our favor. I think the best thing to do is take it easy, have lots of sex and try to relax. Good luck!
I’ve been scouring this site for anyone else who has been treated expectantly, we seem to be few and far between. I had sn ectopic in August last year that was self resolving, and despite a lot of trying have yet to get a bfn again. Im beginning to lose hope
