Pregnant again after an ectopic freaking out!!

MoStew18 · 15/01/2020 15:07

Hi everyone!

Found out I was pregnant on Sunday to my absolute astonishment! I had an ectopic pregnancy in the summer last year and had my left Fallopian tube removed in August... the clear blue test said 2-3 weeks obviously ovulated a lot sooner than I thought I did... I'm seriously freaking out any little pain or niggle makes me think I'm going through it again... I have an early scan tomorrow.. just seriously need some reassurance... has anybody been through an ectopic pregnancy and had a healthy pregnancy after??

Update

Went and had my second scan today, and everything looks perfect!! Could see the little baby's heart beating away! And baby's measurements look good for my gestation. The lady who scanned me said I'm around 6.5 weeks. So hoping everything goes well from this point on fingers crossed!

So happy and relieved.. sending lots of baby dust for everyone who's trying to conceive!! Xxx

@AmumsAli oh ok.. I'm sure you'll get a period soon absolutely are you cycles usually pretty on time like every 28-35 days before being on the pill? Haha! You go girl!! 😉 bet your other half feels like he's won the jackpot!! I know mine did 😂😂xx

@MoStew18 I havnt had any bleeding, havnt had a withdrawal bleed or anything.
That's what I was expecting but havnt had anything like that 🤷‍♀️🤔 so I'm just waiting for some bleeding and hoping for body to go back to a normal period, but yeah we've just been having a good time just now 😉 xx

@AmumsAli did you have a withdrawal bleed? They say it can take about a month for your period to return then 3 months on average for your periods to return to normal.. when I came off the pill I downloaded an app and just logged whenever I came on after a few months you will begin to see a pattern and then you should know where you are but definitely still try for a baby there's no harm in doing that either!! 😉xx

Well I havnt had a period yet since I stopped the pill - so I don't know when I'm ovulating @MoStew18 😕 xx

MoStew18 · 16/01/2020 19:13

@AmumsAli I've heard about that happening... I think it's a lot more enjoyable too I remember when we were trying to conceive my son some months were so tense because it started to become an obsession which ended up making both of us pretty miserable 😩 that's good!! I've read somewhere that it's a good idea to take the folic acid etc before and during trying to conceive so all the good vitamins are already in your system... are you keeping track of your ovulation? Or do you just want to see how it goes for a few months? Xx

OP posts:
AmumsAli · 16/01/2020 18:59

@MoStew18 Usually happens better when ur not perticularly trying, think it's because both are more relaxed and not trying too hard.
I've been taking Seven Seas pre conception tablet each morning that contains Folic Acid and Iron and Vitamin D.
Been taking that since I stopped the pill just before New Year so I'm hoping that will help too 🙂🤞 xx

@AmumsAli without a doubt you will!! I know the patience game with trying to conceive is just torture! 😩😂 we weren't trying last month because we were so busy with Christmas and new year so we were just having fun and bedding when we wanted too.. I had a few drinks over the festive period too 😳 wasn't even dreaming of becoming pregnant but that's when Mother Nature catches you when you least expect it 😂😉 I have been taking the multi pregnancy vitamins every day since my ectopic surgery last August I have no idea if that helped at all or not but there's no harm in taking them 🥰xx

@AmumsAli it seriously was just the best news! Felt like I could breathe again any little niggle I had I was convincing myself I was having another ectopic I've read that there is only a 10% chance of having another ectopic pregnancy and 90% chance the pregnancy being in the womb... but until you see it on the screen you can't help but think the worst... it's still early days for me yet just counting my lucky stars that evening goes ok.. it should be the same for you absolutely when you find out you are pregnant you can either call your GP to let them know or call your early pregnancy unit and they will if you've had an ectopic before... I live in wales and my surgeon told me after my surgery to call as soon as you find out... when I called Monday morning I only had to briefly explain to them and they put me in for a scan the same week... aswell as having bloods taken and another scan in 2 weeks. They should be very shit out with you if you explain your past Ectopic.

I had moments of just feeling so low and down thinking I'd never be able to have another baby... but you will definitely have another baby 100% even with one tube Thanksxx

@kevintheorangecarrot that must have been so reassuring at the scan to hear that everything looks to be in the right place and great that ul have another scan in 2 weeks and they'll probably be able to see better what's going on and that baby is growing ok in the womb. Ur right our bodies are truly amazing 🙂💗
I'm definitely ready for another baby and can't wait to be pregnant again, that's really good that they will scan early after having an ectopic pregnancy, I hope that's the same here in Glasgow xx

@AmumsAli the strangest part of this is I thought I was pregnant last month I had the vivid dreams, sore boobs, loads of discharge, really thirsty and hungry but I came on my period and now this month I had my BFP! Our bodies are so weird sometimes 😂
