TTC following an ectopic pregnancy

If you need to go private for hsg I think bupa quoted me about £550 but i ended up having it done on the nhs. A fertility clinic quoted me about £250 for a hycosy which is an ultra sound instead of an xray. But I had both mine done on nhs as wait wasnt to long.

Pink Elephant _ I don't think BUPA will pay for the HSG. It would be considered a fertility treatment. A friend who had this done said hers cost a grand all told. The doctor was saying £175. Can I be cheeky and ask how much your procedure was?

Good luck with your scan I will be thinking of you on thursday pe. I am sure everything will be fine make sure you keep on popping back to let us know how you are getting on. I felt morning sickness from 5-6 wks I think with dd.

PE, yes am quite positive about this month tbh. good news about your appt. i got ms from 3w with all my pgs but i think it varies from pg to pg as well as woman to woman

I felt better after having an hsg. As after my 1st ep they didnt do one and we ttc for 18 months only to be told when I did eventually have hsg tube was slightly blocked and I needed lap and dye to unblock it. It might put your mind at rest but remember as with all procedures there is a risk of infection. I took some antibiotics to cover my self. Good luck with your appointment and let us know how you get on.

I am not sure with the connection with ep either but I remember Aitch saying she took it. She hasnt been around for a while so if anyone sees her point her in this direction. I read an article about it generaly increasing fertility. But I am a bit worried about self prescribing.

not sure if it helps with a history of ep but helps with blood flow.

Thanks for your responses. I have a two year old daughter - we actually got pregnant the second time within a couple of months of trying. Found out about the ectopic at 6 wks - no choice whatsoever but to remove the tube. They found endo symptoms during the surgery but then told me that sometimes this is common in pregnancy (?!) At first the surgeon said she would do an HSG before I ttc, then she decided against that for whatever reason, told me to go for it, and that she would do it if I had problems getting pregnant. Which of course, i'm panicking could mean another ectopic. Anyway, it was a fortuitous time to try this weekend, so we went for it...I am actually booked to see her on Weds (for this and other reasons)...am wondering if I have been crazy to try but she did say not to bother with the HSG. SO who knows? I've never had symptoms of endo before, I'm nearly 37, and felt basically, why not?

Is the asprin particularly helpful against Ectopics?! Have never heard that but would be interested to understand reason for the aspirin. I have heard about it in connection with miscarriages.

I always thought I had a 28 day cycle to until I worked it out properly I cant count either
Do you think I should make an app with my gp about aspirin or wait until I get pg or see the consultant.

friday. im due to ov from my tubed side too. ive self medicated 75mg asprin too, doesnt do any harm but you should tell docs you are taking it. tbh im v positive about this month. im fertile from thurs on, going on a 29d cycle. i always thought i had a 28d one coz af always starts 4w later to the day but worked it out properly and its 29d

Hello Genidef its really scary ttc again isnt it I am deserate to get pg again but so scared it will happen again. But remember its only 15% chance of it happening again so the odds are in your favour. Have you had any follow up or tests since have they told you if your other tube is ok.
Me and Lissie are in the same boat as you so lets hope we get some more bfp soon on this thread. Pink elephant had an ep at about the same time as you and has just found out she is pg 1st month ttc.
Hi Lissie started to take 75mg aspirin at the begining of this cycle. Not sure if I should or not I am starting to rattle all these tablets and vitamin I am taking. It a shame you cant get hsg done before your appointment but at least its all booked. How are you feeling this month about ttc, I am pretty sure I ov from my side with the tube this month so I am really hoping it works this month. Other wise it will be july before we properly try again. I did say if I wasnt pg by June I would start looking into other options Might see my consultant privatly. I dont know if I can face ivf but if that the only way. I dont know where we will get the money from my mum said she will help a bit but we will have to find most of it. Everyone says it will only be a matter time but I just want a baby now.
When are you going on holiday?

totally understandable to be scared. ttc is a scary business without the added complication of a previous ep. how long were you ttc fpor?

My husband and I finally went for it last night (following ectopic in Dec 06 - right tube removed). I'M SO SCARED - can I ask everyone for positive thoughts?!

what dosages asprin are you taking. in asda they have a 75mg asprin thats used for clotting probs/strokes etc and thats what i take.

next hsg appt will be next month but go back to specialist on 4th so will have to traipse back to them again after the hsg

arrrrrgggggghhhhh!

how are we all today?

I have been taking aspirin all this month, but a bit worried in case I shouldnt be. Read on the internet it was good for fertility in general as it increases blood flow to womb etc and ovaries. I was also a bit worried about mc as well as my mum had 4 before she had me and my sister. Not to worried but just remember aitch saying she took it and wondered if she had any words of wisedom on the subject.

I think I am due to ov today or tomorrow I think not temping or using ov tests this month.Have had the odd cramp not as bad as last couple of months thank goodness. Its 3 months since ep so it true what they say about your body needing time to heal.
Aitch wondering about the aspirin you took when ttc I have only found info on mc and aspirin not ep. Wondering if I should take it as I have had 2 ep and my mum had 4 mc before she had me. How long did you take it for once you were pg? Thanks

arms not too bad ta. my you do havwe abusy day!

when are you due to ov?

Sounds good pink elephant. We have been busy lately, looking after my friends little one today aswell then having dd cousin to stay tonight so it will be mad house today.
Hope your arm not to bruised today Lissie.
Think I am going to ov soon so got a busy weekend planned hopefully will be from the left side this month.

well, had my day 8 bloods taken today and the fecking nurse really hurt me and my arms bruised to buggery! arrrrggggggghhhhhhh am so fed up of this crap. wish i could just give up, but i cant.

oooh sounds promising!

tbh not holding out much hope. the only day they could do it is tuesday and not heard anything about it.

im taking asprin at the mo on the off chance.
