Trying to conceive again

Hi all.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in March which resulted in the removal of my left tube. Am desperate to be pregnant again and so we started trying again this month. I have just started my period and am completely devastated that I didn’t fall straight away (last time I fell the first month of trying). It’s like all my emotions have been hold and the grief has hit me like a ton of bricks.

I don’t know how to deal with trying to concieve. How do I do this every month? The waiting, the hoping, the need to have a baby in my arms!

I also had an eptopic pregnancy in March which was treated with methotrexate which resulted in a 3 month wait to try again. It’s been such a difficultl time so I understand your pain. I have about 2 weeks left before we can try again which is just after my ovulation week so even more frustrating as it will be nearly 4 months when I ovulate again, however it’s better to be safe than sorry and fully sure you are ready. I think you just need to try and stay positive as a positive mindset can only help you when trying to conceive. :smiley:

Hi,

I completely understand how you feel.

I had an ectopic pregnancy back in December. I had to be treated with 2 rounds of methotrexate after which they recommend you wait for 3 months after your hcg levels have fallen to non-pregnant levels. So it was 4 months before we started trying again. We have now been trying for 2 cycles and I am not pregnant, I was in floods of tears on Saturday morning when I found out I wasn’t pregnant again this month.

I had a miscarriage before my ectopic and for both pregnancies I fell pregnant on the first month of trying - I know 2 months isn’t a long time but because it was so easy to get pregnant previously, I worry that there is a problem now and I won’t be able to get pregnant.

I also desperately want a baby. I feel like if I knew for certain it would all work out in the end I could relax more - but obviously that is not possible! And I know that being stressed doesn’t help with conception but it’s hard to just relax - whilst also tracking fertility and most fertile days/ waiting to find out if you are pregnant.

I am not sure I have any good advice - but I wish you luck. I just hope we can both get successfully pregnant very soon!

Hi first time on this just need some advice xx

Hi

I had exactly the same thing in March and had my right tube removed. I was hoping so much that this month would be the month but my period came this morning. Like you I was absolutely devastated. I was told to wait 2 cycles or three months so maybe it’s just too soon? I guess we will just have to wait and see what next month holds for us. So so hard though and I 100% understand how you’re feeling.
