TTC following an ectopic pregnancy

913 replies

Hi, My DH and I have been TTC for the last 8 months and finally found out I was pregnant before christmas. Since then I have been in hospital and have been treated for an ectopic pregnancy. I was given a hefty dose of Methotrexate which has made me feel rotten and should induce a miscarriage soon. We can't start TTC for 3 months now which is really hard to take as it took us a while the first time - but everything will have to be on hold until the summer now. Has anyone experienced this?

the best of luck to you, HA.

Hello everyone Harvey I hope things went well with the scan this morning.
Have your cramps settled down now Lissie? do you think ovulated early? or do you think its the result of the hsg? Talking about cramps I have had a dull ache since yesterday not due on until next weekend i think, but not been taking much notice of dates this month though. Are bodies do strange things dont they. I am sure I probably wouldnt notice normally but when your ttc you seem to notice every thing.

lissie · 15/06/2007 13:56

agree with that cedar, every twinge has me googling! cramps have stopped, still spotting a little bit but (tmi) thats just the gunk from my tube. am assuming that i will ov on tues as predicted but wearing dh out anyway, just in case
did your doc prescribe high dose FA?
are you still taking asprin?

hope HA is alright. bit worried.

lissie · 15/06/2007 15:08

hi, how are you doing genidef?

Genidef · 15/06/2007 15:42

AWRIGHT. No news in an overall sort of way, none in particular on the bambini front think AF will appear this month as feel we left it too late. Which is good in a way given the booze I have consumed - have actually made for meals out with friends, first time in ages...

You?

lissie · 15/06/2007 15:53

not too bad. spotting has stopped now so the ttc starts in earnest.

again!

cedar12 · 15/06/2007 17:28

Not taking aspirin anymore Lissie. I am taking extra folic acid though 400mg in multivit plus extra 400mg in folicacid tablet. How much are you taking?
Harvey I hope you are ok.

Genidef · 15/06/2007 18:22

Cedar - is the extra FA and aspirin to gaurd against MC? Sorry, I've probably missed smthng.

Lissie it's good to get that green light. it really meant a lot to us anyway. glad the spotting has stopped.

lissie · 15/06/2007 22:23

spoke to soon, spotting has resumed with mucus (if tmi, im sorry) cedar im taking 5mg FA + multi-vit, genidef its to prevent mc's really but cant do any harm!

Genidef · 15/06/2007 23:15

lissie
how many days now? have you called consultant?

lissie · 16/06/2007 09:12

since weds, started off quite heavy and is just a bit now. def old blood tho. rang the fertility nurse and she said its just the gunk from the tube coming out. didnt think thered be this much tho. if still going on monday ill ring back

cedar12 · 16/06/2007 10:04

I meant to say 400mcg folic acid not mg. 800mcg all together. Sound like your tube is clear its self out Lissie which is good but like you said best give them a ring monday if it hasnt stopped. Have a good weekend everyone.

harveysaunt · 16/06/2007 15:52

Hi Girls,

A quick update cos im in the middle of moving house.

Had a internal scan yesterday and we saw the sack in the right place . Still empty but thats to be expected as im just 5 weeks or maybe a little less.

Thank god i didnt need the laparoscopy!!

Anyway got to go. So many things to move. I'll be back on with an update once the internet is hooked up at the new place xx

harveysaunt · 16/06/2007 15:54

Oops forgot to say. Got a 2nd scan on on friday to check that the yolk develops xx

cedar12 · 16/06/2007 16:13

cedar12 · 20/06/2007 07:59

It makes you feel quite un needed dosent it, but better than screaming the place down I suppose.
dd had a settling session yesterday afternoon at school informed me shes a big school girl now and went around in the school dress i bought her all last night and want to wear it again today!

lissie · 20/06/2007 08:05
