TTC with one Fallopian tube

Oh @HoneyLemon29 I'm so sorry that has happened. I don't really have any advice because I know how 'rules based' EPU and hospitals can be. They said to me they'd see me at 6 weeks next time I think, I imagine because they can see something then.

I'm surprised they wouldn't run bloods because of your history and anxiety. Can you call your GP and ask for them? Maybe they can refer you back to EPU?

Oh my goodness I need to come on here to rant! EPU have just rang me after tell me I could start blood tests tomorrow that they don't want to see me until 6 weeks! I literally had a panic attack over the phone saying sorry but my last Ectopic was discovered at 5 weeks! Then it was too late!
I don't know what to do I'm beside myself with worry and I told them they can stick there appointment in 2 weeks as well 😩

@HoneyLemon29 great news! congratulations! x

Yes @LJF234 I already use Premom

Thanks @HoneyLemon29 and @Emily5674, think I'll use the clear blue that I've got left then order some of the cheap ones to use with premom next month.
@Mummyme87 are you also going to use premom?
I'm CD 14 now but still getting a flashing smiley!

Fab @HoneyLemon29 so exciting for you

I’ve ordered a thermometer that will arrive tomorrow and I’ve started my OPK today, I’m CD4

@HoneyLemon29 oh wow that’s great regarding the pregnancy test!

I’ve downloaded the Premom app - I bought a thermometer just before I conceived the ectopic so think I will start this also as looks to me like temp is a great indication of pregnancy yours went nice and high and stayed up :)

Wow @HoneyLemon29 that's amazing for 13dpo! Looking very promising xxx

13DPO and showing 2-3. I'm praying this is a good sign 🤞

@Emily5674 I find Premom easier because the app takes pictures of the OPKs and charts them up for you, and it's cheaper. This is mine from this month, I also take BBT x

@HoneyLemon29 yes I have some OPKS I do find they help we used these the month I conceived :)

I have t used Premom app I will give that a go thank you x

@Emily5674 have you heard of the Premom app and OPK strips? X

Thank you @Mummyme87

Will do @LJF234

@LJF234

Thank you - it is nice to have other people in the same position to chat about as I don’t personally know anyone who has had an ectopic pregnancy before. I have read that periods can go a bit out of whack after the surgery I hope this cycle for you is better :)

I used the clear blue ovulation when TTC before and I got a week of smileys and then about a week later I ovulated late on day 20 so I don’t think they work well for me - I reckon buy a box of the cheap ones as at least you can see what’s on the strips! Good luck!

Great progression lines @HoneyLemon29

@HoneyLemon29 great progression in those lines! Please do keep us updated
@Emily5674 welcome, there's a few of us here in a similar position so we can keep eachother company. I also got the green light to try after one cycle (my ectopic was late nov) but didn't get a period until nearly 7 weeks post surgery and then had another less than 3 weeks later so not even sure I ovulated that cycle 🤷‍♀️ I guess everyone is different and your body will let you know when you're physically and emotionally ready.
I've been trying to track my ovulation using clear blue for the first time this cycle but on day 6 of flashing smiley, might just give up as think its stressing me out more than helping!
Hope everyone else is well x

@HoneyLemon29 haven’t ovulated yet but did a random OPK this am and was fairly positive so 2 more weeks and it should be here :) they said can be 4/6 weeks post op so just about right. delighted now as means we can move forward!

Keep us updated on the pregnancy!

@Emily5674 your period will come any day now won't it? I ovulated 2 weeks after surgery and then got my period 2 weeks later 💜
I have my fingers crossed for you and it makes me feel better knowing your doctor advised 1 cycle x

@HoneyLemon29 I get that feeling I have been the same thinking it’s never going to happen! That was great that it took only one cycle - my doctor gave me the green like to try again once I had 1 period seems different doctors give different advise I wouldn’t worry that you got pregnant this soon 💕

My ectopic was February so waiting on my cycle to resume soon and the we will try again :)

@Emily5674 being completely honest my ectopic was in January and I've only had one natural period since. I know I was supposed to wait 2 cycles. But I was in a bit of a low place thinking a pregnancy would never happen again 😢 and just had unprotected sex thinking it would take longer 💜

@myrainbowjourney thank you! I am just excited now to get back to TTC it took us 14 months to conceive first time so I’m hoping it’s not as long this time we had a few tests and nothing wrong so fingers crossed.

@HoneyLemon29 congrats on the pregnancy can I ask how long since your ectopic did it take to conceive again? Will they give you an early scan :)

Thank you @MrsL2021

@Emily5674 sorry to hear about your Ectopic 💜

@myrainbowjourney I will keep the thread updated, my blood tests are beginning on Wednesday at 4+1
I've taken another test today 48 hours from the last because I had a chemical before the ectopic and lines didn't progress x
10DPO
12DPO x

@Chantal90 @Emily5674 welcome to the group, and sorry to hear about your ectopics. It definitely helps to talk to people who know what you're going through. We are always here for you to express any thoughts xx

@Mummyme87 sorry to hear AF arrived. Also get what you mean about the next couple of weeks. Nice to not think about it for a while.

@HoneyLemon29 lines are looking great. How lovely to be so well looked after by EPU. Please keep us updated about your results xxx

I am 4 weeks post ectopic surgery my left fallopian was removed! We are about to start our journey TTC again and I would love to go through it with someone else in the same position :)

Sorry to hear that @Mummyme87, I get what you mean about knowing where you are for a few weeks and not having to worry about it all. 🤞for next cycle though

Glad to hear the EPU sound like they're going to do a good job looking after you @honeylemon29

@Chantal90 Welcome and sorry to hear about your ectopic! My ectopic was in nov and we've recently started trying again too so in a very similar place and I completely get what you mean, I so desperately want to see a positive test but I'm equally terrified at the same time.
My consultant said the same to me following surgery, ring as soon as you find out you're pregnant again as they will monitor your bloods and scan as soon as they think they could see something. As @honeylemon29 says if it were to be another ectopic the earlier they find out the better the treatment options. Im sure this is the same nationally so def call when you get a positive test (🤞🤞 it will be this cycle!) X

@HoneyLemon29 lines look good and getting stronger! 🤞 I'm so pleased they want you in next week! Keeping everything crossed for you 💕✨🌈 xxx
