Helloooo! I’m still here Lovely! Just in the tww now so all a little boring. I’m not expecting anything this month so focusing on some of our future options baby-wise. I’ve booked in again with the naturopath and acupuncturist so hopefully we’ll have some good results.
Still toying with the IVF idea, but I don’t think we’re any closer to a decision on that front!
How are you going? I hope you’ve had a nice few weeks in some way. Here’s to a new month!

i’m doing okay. i became aware that the ec topic pregnancy have given my body a bit of a setback in some ways. i feel a bit run down and so deciding to use a combination of herbs and western medicine, get my energy back and help my reproductive system get healthy as possible. so i’ve seen herbalist/ acupuncturist also booked in to get my tubes looked at next month at the hospital. i think i’m going to try a little bit of homoeopathy just help me to get emotionally ready, to help me to let go in some ways and a bit more relaxed about this how process of ttc.
how is everyone else doing?
Wow both on acupuncture, your braver than I am :oops: tried it on my back and wasn’t comfy you’ll have to let me know how your getting on.
Chez, that’s big decisions to make IVF is such a big deal, I have had friends who have successes but it takes a hell of a commitment with the injections etc but if it works soooo worth it. I may sound daft what is a naturopath?
Honife, eps can do that I felt like crap for months after and my cycle has never really been the same but it sounds like you are taking charge of your body
Im in my fertile week so all go, the only decision we have made is that I’m going to stop stressing out about what I eat, drink etc in my tww as I am in hubbys words ‘behaving like a total nut job who is doing my head in!’. His theory is that what will happen will and that we should enjoy life, he’s worried that I won’t enjoy my bday on sat without a drink and I know that our friends have brought some prosseco for the train to London, plus he hates when I whinge about missing out when af shows :oops:
I hope we get some BFP soon, it seems to have been ages since we had any

Hello ladies! I am new to the group! This is my first day here. I am very glad to find a forum where the ladies can relate to the loss of a baby by way of a ectopic pregnancy. I lost my right tube,ovary, and baby on January 3,2014. I was 6 weeks pregnant. I had to be rushed in for emergency surgery to stop internal bleeding. I was devastated and heart broken. I just started my menstrual cycle yesterday and going 
ttc this month.
Hey bri welcome to the group 
its not been long since you ep, i hope ur healing well, the usual advice is to wait three months or two full cycles after an ep so you may want to check with ur consultant, i dont want to discourage you but want to make sure you are safe hu

Hi all and welcome to new ladies - you’ll find lots of support on here.
I’ve tested today as period was due but bfn so far and no period. I don’t feel pg so I reckon it’s a no but will test again tomorrow.
Sarah you have my sympathy - a tough call to make. I want to be good and not drink etc etc but at what point does it take over your life? Like honife says, we need to try and feel relaxed about it. I’ve just had two glasses of wine and a load of soft cheese in case it’s the last I have I hope you have a fun birthday.
Bri I would echo others. It’s totally your decision to make, but the advice is to wait three months to ensure your body is healed (and your mind too to some extent). Having said that I have heard of women getting pg the first month after. Maybe chat through with your doc?
Good luck to all.

Hi All
I had an ep in October and had my left tube removed. I think we will start to try again this month, if I can pluck up the courage that is - so scary… really glad I have this site/conversation to know that I am not alone.
good luck x

Peacelilly sorry about thw bfn 
let us know how the retest goes, your right ot shouldnt take ovee, o was becoming obsesive but ur right that ir will happen when its ment to and i should enjoy (within reason) what im expirencing before hopfully getting a happy stressfreeish pregnancy
Has anyone heard from shibon? She hasnt been on scince her tests and i hope shes ok
Sarah xx
Hi Ladies! Thanks for your advice here and you ladies are right , I just keep thinking I just need to get pregnant with that rainbow baby to least help ease the pain. I think somewhere deep down I feel like at 36 time is not on my side with having more children.This is awful to experience. I had a miscarriage two years ago and this by far the worse.
Welcome Ali. The scared feeling is normal, but everyone here has felt it and can support you. There’s nothing like this forum for understanding what you’ve been through.
Bri, sorry to hear about all you’ve been through. Really hope your time has come.
I’ve not heard from Shibhon either. Shibhon, if you’re reading this we’re thinking of you.
Well, my body has decided to be particularly cruel to me this month. Period was due Tues and have tested every day since then, was gettin hopeful it might change to a bfp given lateness but just got period this morning. Boo. Better luck next time.
Will have another try this month so no doubt I’ll be back on the thread soon.
Good luck everyone!

I’m sorry to hear that Peacelily, our bodies are so unpredictable. I hope you get a bfp soon! Each month my breasts get more painful in the tww, and this month is no exception! Bah.
I had a friend call last night to say she’s pregnant, and another to say she’s miscarried. It’s so tough putting on a brave face for all these conversations, I feel like I hold it together for everyone but myself and hubby. I should talk to people more but I’m finding it hard to trust at the moment.
We’re hoping some of our efforts will pay off this year, and bring us our much anticipated family.
Shibhon we miss you! I hope all is ok, Love.

Hi ladies, i’m new to this site as i had an ectopic 2 weeks ago and currently going through metx. I don’t really know how i’m supposed to feel, one minute i just want it all to be over, and then in another breath i’m crying because of losing the baby. I have PCOS, so it took us nearly 3 years and this was my first pregnancy. People keep asking about ‘when are you going to try again.’ I don’t even want to think about that, is that selfish? Really need to talk to people that understand
Lori
Fair call, Lori, it is hard to find people who understand what you’ve been through. I’m sorry to hear you’ve had an ep, it’s not nice and I wish you hadn’t had to go through it at all.
I remember feeling fine some days then completely shattered other days, and everything in between! It’s hard to keep sane when your emotions and hormones are all over the place.
I got AF today so that explains a little of my emotion earlier in the week, it has been a tough one this time.
Anyone else have AF due this early in the month?
X
Welcome Lori - I don’t think you’re selfish at all. It’s your decision to make. I think all of us on here can relate to the emotional rollercoaster - one minute you’re fine, next minute you’re in pieces. Don’t be too hard on yourself, let yourself feel what you feel and do things that make you feel nice. Don’t let anyone rush you.
Chez, sorry you’ve had difficult news to deal with. There are so many conflicting emotions when people share their news with you. Maybe the friend who had the miscarriage is trying to reach out to you because she knows the loss you’ve also suffered, but don’t feel bad if you can’t support her too much. You have to look after yourself and there are probably other people who can support her. My friends seem to be popping out babies like anything at the moment. I feel really happy for them of course, but it’s hard not to feel sadness and a certain degree of jealousy too. I try and see it as a sign of hope - I’ll be doing it too soon with any luck. There’s a really good thread discussing this on the main board, if it would help?
I’ve got AF at mo, so will be going for it again mid-month and back on here no doubt.
Big hugs to all - hope you’re all having a relaxing weekend and staying warm and dry inside

Hey ladies,
Not been around for a while,
Firstly thanks for your thoughts ladies it means a lot!
So I had my hospital appointment and boy that was awful!
Basically after they filled me full of dye and poked and prodded at me! It appears my remaining tube has a large blockage… Well had a blockage! Some how the lovely doctor put me through some horrific pain but cleared a large ammount of the blockage!!
However as she was unable to clear it all I have to go back and they will try again if they can’t succeed in going from the bottom up then with my consent will preform key hole surgery and attempt to unblock it from the top!
Scary stuff!!
However very exciting news!
My period also arrived - excuse the talking if it…
But very heavy and lots of clots.
As the doctor suggested I called to inform her, and to my amazement she told me this was brilliant news!
Apparently my light - non existent periods were caused by this blockage. So a heavy period with clots means good news. She was even hopefully that it may clear my tube too!
Personally I have no idea why she was so excised! As I did however like my light / none existent period!
So fingers crossed all being well when I go back we have the go ahead for chlomid! So that may mean 2015 we could have our baby! I’m really excited and scared and everything inbetween!
Also noticed a few new faces, as horrible as it is to know more ladies have lost there babies, I’m glad you have found us ladies, I’ve noticed everyone on here is a great support and I hope you all find great comfort while your on board with us.
However I hope each and everyone of you have a short stay and get that little bundle of joy

Shibhon, it is great to hear from you! We’ve certainly been thinking of you very much. I’m glad the Dr is pleased with the outcome of your procedure, but what a shame it was so painful and uncomfortable. Nonetheless, I hope this means onward and upward for you!

Hi Shibhon
Good to hear from you. Sorry you had to go through so much pain at the hospital. But so pleased that things seem to be moving forward.
Let’s hope this is the start of a more positive time for you.

Hi,
Just saying hello and that I am reading your posts and thinking of you all. I had my ep diagnosed in Jan and am hoping to ttc in May. Feels ages away. Levels were at 200 on tues, so fingers crossed for a 0 soon.
Wishing you all a good week. Stay strong

Hi doodle
Just to say it’s good to have you here. May seems like an age away, but it’ll soon come round. Maybe plan some nice things and treats for yourself so you can focus on something to look forward to. Might make the time go quicker
In the meantime I hope you are feeling stronger day by day.
Xx
