Hi, I’m in a right mess. I’m 5+5 and have a scan booked for tomorrow morning, but I’m convinced it’s ectopic again.
I’m lucky enough to have had a totally normal pregnancy after having my ectopic, but we decided to try for a second child and I’ve been spotting on and off since before my period was due. I’m sure something isn’t right. Spotting was the only symptom of my ectopic before. Words can’t describe how scared I am or another ectopic. Of being in hospital again by myself before surgery and of course the possibility of having my second tube removed.
I just don’t know how to cope. I feel so alone. No one really understands me.
Yes, one tube removed. If it helps, I had my tube removed in May 2012 and got pregnant in November of the same year. I now have a healthy and rather cheeky 3 year old! Don’t give up hope.
In fact at the hospital today they said that your likelihood of getting pregnant with one tube isn’t greatly reduced, plus the likelihood of a second ectopic is only increased if you an underlying medical condition (e.g. a history of something like Pelvic Inflammatory Disease).
Prognosis for me is still uncertain. The scan showed something in my uterus but unlikely to be viable pregnancy. No sign of ectopic but can’t be entirely ruled out.
Just got hcg levels back and they are very low (127). Have to go for second blood test on Thursday.
