Ttc after 2 ectopics this year

Preparing For Your Next Pregnancy
1

So I have had 2 ectopics this year both in right tube both managed via expectant management so just blood tests until my little ones naturally miscarried which both did very quickly… My consultant decided the best course of action was to do a lap & dye with hysterscopy to see what’s happening inside I had that a month ago which went really really well all came back completely clear both tubes had a good fill and spill so my consultant didn’t remove my right one which I was gob smacked about…

I was given the all clear to ttc once period finished which has been and gone… I am now currently cd 15 I had a positive clear blue advance opk on cd 12 luckily I did a evening test or I probably would of missed it I have DTD on cd 5,6,8,10&13 so hoping I have enough waiting…

For the last few days I have been experiencing constant cramps and stabbing pains… today I have also noticed that the side I had my ectopics is aching a bit it’s right low down in my groin area should I be concerned or is this all in my head and I am a little sensitive due to my previous losses I am not sure I could mentally or physically go through another ectopic…

Thanks for reading xx

Dear Kmw,

Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy, I completely understand you feeling nervous after your losses, I did too. The twinges I felt we’re really worrying and you have friends here who understand.

Although it is common to feel discomfort when we next fall pregnant, I think you are describing a progressive or worsening pain, and I would therefore advise that you seek medical advice. At least this may put your mind at rest a little, knowing you are under medical supervision.

Although I do not wish to alarm you, if the pain worsens or you experience any bleeding, shoulder tip pain or feel dizzy and unwell, please seek urgent medical advice.

I am certainly sending positive thoughts and much love,
