Good luck with your HSG. I have decided to join this forum now rather than the main board as we are now ttc. Although its very frustrating for me as my partner works away so he is away for 2 fertile windows and home for two! Trying to do the “no stress” thing but its very hard! Good luck to all too, best wishes.
Gee, Doodle, that must be so disheartening, I really feel for you. It took a good 6 -8 months for my cycle to return to normal but it still varies from month to month. Hopefully you get some answers soon.
I’m seeing a new Dr on the 19th which will hopefully give us new hope. All the best this month ladies! We’re due for a bfp or two I think.
thinking of you. Dates are tough, especially early on. It was a year since our surgery last weekend and I found it really painful. Hang in there Lovely, do something nice today if you can. X
Hi everyone, I had ectopic surgery 26/11/2013. I would be 36 weeks pregnant this week. We’ve decided to start tryingish so not gonna chart temps or dates, just see what happens…we were gonna wait till august because we have a holiday booked but the waiting is killing me and it was really getting me down.
Only thing is im doubting myself and wondering if I should just wait as its only a few weeks and I have a 10 year old boy whos so excited about this holiday and if I do get pregnant straight away (in a perfect world lol) I could be worried throughout whole holiday and bring everyone down!! Confused…what would u guys do??
Hi Maria, glad you’ve found the strength to TTC again, if you do TTC now you will get an early scan if you conceive due to your EP. Personally if I was you I would talk to your partner and start now. August isn’t that far away and if you do conceive chances are you’ll get a scan before you go away. So I don’t think you would ruin your holiday. However you have to do what’s best for you and your family. Good luck in what ever you decide to do x
My sister said the same thing as you! Im just gonna go for it, nervous times ahead but also im alot happier now I know its a possibility at some stage hopefully! So just gonna relax and go with the flow xx
I’m in a funny situation, hoping I ov this month. The last two months I haven’t so we’re seeing a new dr on Thursday who will hopefully have some answers. I’m going to ask for clomid, bearing in mind my very low egg reserve which could be a problem. Ah well, I’m staying positive!
At least there’s less stress waiting for AF when you know it’s not possible, because no ov means no bfp- or bfn for that matter. How are you all going, ladies?
In a similar position to you Chez, hoping I ovulate this month, as it didn’t last cycle. I went to the dr who had no concerns whatsoever about this, which is reassuring but I’m also worried that he didn’t take me seriously. Two other GPS have had the same reaction, and have all just told me to relax and wait. They seem to think either my body - a whole 6 months later - is still getting back to normal. Or, stress is affecting my ovulation. Ironically, I’m stressed because I’ve had a few anovulatory cycles - so it’s a viscous cycle!! How do you monitor ov? According to fertility friend I’ve already ov’d based on my temps, but it had no pain whatsoever so I’m doubtful that’s correct.
Not much else going on, just seriously wishing I would ovulate like I did before my ep - day 12 sounds like bliss. Can’t help but feel that I’m wasting a whole loada time… Aghhhhhhh!!!
Oh my god I just did a test and im pregnant!! But so so early, just told my husband but obviously have decided not to tell anyone else, geez its scary this time…
I’ve not posted in a while, glad to see an early positive on here, massive congrats Maria!! Fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed for you, hope the doctors went okay - I actually had my ectopic Surgery the same day as you and it is fantastic to hear a positive story!
Shibhon, great to hear your one remaining tube is clear!wohooooo! Can I ask how long you had to wait for a date to come through for your HSG test?
You might remember that my periods have been all over the place, in fact I’ve not had a period for 96 days and after lots of blood tests and an internal scan it has been confirmed they I have polycystic ovaries! Just what you want to hear after having an ectopic and already being minus a tube. Anyway, I do actually think I ovulated last week so hopefully the lady in red will show hear head shortly. My doctor has said the best route for me is to take clomid as she thinks I just need help ovulating, I will be interested to hear what your experience is like on it Shibhon. My doctor did say she could just start me on a low dose now but I want to do things the proper way so me and my husband are taking the next 6 months off to relax and go on Holiday and then in Jan we have to have some tests and then will be transferred to the fertility clinic, I said I don’t want Clomid before having my tube checked. If its clear then we will start Clomid and hump like rabbits!!! .
One good thing about being diagnosed with PCOS after the ectopic is that I felt a weight lifting off my shoulders when the results came back and my doctor started talking about the next steps to take, I think just finally having a definite answer to something and a reason why my cycles were so irratic helped so much. I very much doubt in the meantime that I will fall naturally and although I have heard a lot of bad stories about Clomid (mood swings etc from the side effects) I’m looking forward to going down that road next year!.
I was given an estimated date of the 17th July for my due date when I went to see the doctor back in November when I pregnant, before the ectopic was diagnosed I was rushed to A&E with a suspected miscarriage, which was then confirmed. They did mention that it was possible that I was pregnant with twins (runs in the family) perhaps I miscarried one and the other was ectopic - although they took the tissues to be tested away after the miscarriage that seems to have been lost because no results were ever found, anyway twins or not my brother is expecting twins which were conceived from IVF, due mid August - well low and behold they have just been told that her C section is likely to be the 17th July!!! I have no idea how I am going to deal with this when the time comes, luckily I’m on holiday the week before - I purposefully booked this as I knew my due date would be a hard time. I cannot wait to be an auntie to twins but I am scared to meet them and hold them in my arms for the first time, so close to when I should have been holding mine.
Anyway ladies, I am wishing you all the luck and sending positive vibes your way, you are all wonderful and strong and amazing.
Great news Shibhon! What a relief. Onward and upward I say. My Dr and Naturopath are both a bit baffled by our situation and don’t think clomid will help which is a bummer. Ah well, we’ll keep going, and saving for IVF in Case we need it.
I can see your point Rhi, due dates can be tough but distraction helps! A holiday sounds like a lovely idea.
