Yesterday I got my BFP! I couldn’t quite believe my eyes so I took another test this morning and I am so over joyed that it was also positive.
I feel such a complete mixture of emotions…
This was only our first cycle of trying since I was treated with methotrexate for my Ep in June, So I feel extremely grateful I conceived so quick. I am exactly 4weeks so very early days but I do feel more positive than I did last time, with my ep my gut told me something was wrong this time it doesn’t.
I have felt quite sick for the past 3days and have some back pain which leaves me a little concerned along with some cramping- Is this normal? My ep was my first pregnancy so I have no idea what to expect.
Wow JennaB so pleased for you congratulations. I hope it’s that quick for me, I remember I had my ectopic the same time as you but my right tube removed, had hsg Friday and my remaining tube was clear so we will now start trying again. It’s so lovely to hear happy news like yours feels encouraging that there can be light at the end of what seems a very long dark tunnel. I’m sure you will be absolutely fine, best of luck to you and thankyou for sharing your happy news xx
Congrats on ur pregnancy. I myself am 5weeks today and had ectopic in 2012, I lost my left tube and was that traumatised by it all I swore I wld never try again. But just recently changed my mind and basically got preg straight away. Was getting a few pains and was so scared but think they only wind pains but after an ectopic every pain freaks u out. I have a scan on the 26th at early preg clinic yo make sure it in the right place this time. U shld b able to get an app at early preg too seeing as u had ectopic before x
I’ve been to see the GP this morning and they have done an epu referral for me. Got my scan booked for Oct 6th when I will be 7+1.
I agree every twinge and niggle is making me nervous even more so if it is on the side I had my ectopic but I am trying my best to remain very positive even though I am also very scared.
I hope everything goes well at your scan. Keep me updated? Xx
I know the feeling, I was making myself sick with worry and even think I was imagining pains cause I was so nervous. I’ve just told myself whatever will b will be and am learning to try and relax til my scan. Let me know how u get on at ur scan. Hopefully we’ll both have a beautiful lil baby next yr x
So pleased for you with with your pregnancys. I got my BFP last week on the day by I was originally due. Jenna I totally understand where you are coming from with worry about every pain etc. I’ve had lots of back ache and cramps and it does send you into a panic.
My ep was my first pregnancy as well, so you worry even more.
It is just about us staying positive , I’ve got my scan on Thursday at ePu, hoping all will be ok. I’ve not really had much sickness but lots of cramping.
Yes Shannon hopefully we will I will let you know how everything goes.
Hi Ann, Congratulations on your pregnancy! Not long to wait for your scan- Good luck- how far gone will you be when you have it? I’ve suffered with lower back ache and it does worry me but I am trying very hard to remain positive and I have been told this can be a normal symptom of early pregnancy. I’ve been ever so sicky, worse so over the last 2 days, which weirdly I am hoping is a positive as I didn’t get any sickness until 6weeks with my ep.
Whispered congratulations. It is so normal to have mixed emotions when you get a positive pregnancy test - fear of getting your hopes up, fear of not bein able to cope if anything goes wrong, fear of losing a tube, guilt about having these worries instead of being excited… We know how you feel and sympathise and are here with you all the way.
Sickness is actually a good sign rather than an ectopic pregnancy symptom as it is caused by rising beta HCG levels in the body.
The cramping feeling is very common with women who have suffered an ectopic pregnancy. Because there is internal scarring from the ectopic, this can create twinges as everything moves inside during pregnancy. It is natural that we notice and worry about every feeling we get because of what has happened in the past but statistically you are more likely that it is adhesions rather than another ectopic. That said, anything that doesn’t feel right, do not hesitate to go to A&E to get it checked out.
We’ve got everything crossed for you it will be okay. Keep us posted and we are here to answer any questions.
I think I will be about 6 weeks, only two days to wait but feels like a lifetime!.
The backache worries me but I keep thinking it’s just the little ones making themselves comfortable
I’ve not been to bad with sickness, only times I’ve feel it is if I’m Hungry or in the car as a passenger,
I’ve not had to many symptoms except cramps and backache, I’m just trying to stay as positive as I can, it’s all we can do, let me know when you have a scan date,
Only two days wow not long now although I can imagine it doesn’t feel that way too you. I have a scan booked for 6th oct when I will be 7+1. 3 weeks today but feels about 3 years away too me.
I really hope everything goes well for you. Let me know.
Just a little update ladies, Went to a&e this morning as have been suffering with bad sickness and couldn’t even keep water down. WS seen my a dr who was following instructions from epu.
Had some fluid and some anti sickness. Epu requested some bloods and for me to have repeats on sunday to check my hormone levels were doubling. Dr said they had no reason to think anything was wrong just bad morning sickness but epu just wanted to check because of my Ep. Was discharged and came home to bed, was woken to a call from epu saying my hormone was quite high (in the 2900’s and I think I am 4+5 today) so with levels that high they would be able to see something on a scan so would like to scan me earlier rather than wait until the 6th so :oops: am going in Monday now.
Hoping this is all good news as with my ep at 6weeks my hormone was only 197. Still have to have the repeat bloods on Sunday.
I know it all looks positive but naturally I am feeling very scared and just needed to rant I think
Had scan on Monday saw only a pregnancy sack but in the right place and hormone is doubling well.
Measured a little ahead of my dates at 5+5 got really worried as only the sack but was told this is perfectly normal and everything is looking positive, just can’t help but worry have another scan on the 6th when I will be 7+1 by my dates or 7+5 by the new ones.
Mine was exactly the same last Thursday, it’s in the right place but can only see a sac, again I’ve been told this puts me in normal range, dated from my last period I was 6.5 weeks but my cycle is 32 days so I think I was 5.5 weeks, I have next scan on 2nd October.
So pleased for you both, it’s so lovely to hear positive news on this journey,it gives me hope! …I will begin the ttc journey next month,I will be 4months on from my ep then. I feel I am now ready both physically and mentally. Wishing you both lots of luck for your next scan xx
Had scan today, pregnancy has progressed. Saw yolk sac and a tiny baby measuring 9mm with a heartbeat. Was so overwhelming and I feel so happy and lucky.
Still measuring in week 7 so now just the nervous wait till the 12week scan. Still feel very nervous though, hope that’ll ease after the next scan.
