TTC with one Fallopian tube

[Hannabanana2021]

Anyone here TTC after Ectopic surgery or with one Fallopian tube due to medical reasons that want to support each other? Or if anyone has any successful stories conceiving with one tube welcome to bring positivity to the post x

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

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

@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 :)

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

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!

Yes @LJF234 I already use Premom

@HoneyLemon29 great news! congratulations! x

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 😩

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?

@HoneyLemon29 they should definitely give you a scan sooner that's not acceptable. I was 3.5 weeks when they done the blood test and asked me to come back at 4 weeks 5 days when they done the scan and could tell where the sack was. I explained to them that my ectopic was also discovered at 5 weeks. So I agree with @myrainbowjourney go back to you your GP, they should be able to do an urgent referral. Alternatively lots of hospitals have walk in EPU clinics. Don't stress and good luck x

@Mummyme87 ah hope next cycle is the one for you x

@myrainbowjourney feeling ok super tired & keeping busy. How are you? What cd day are you? x

@NewtoTTC87 glad you are feeling ok. Busy is also good.
I'm day 25 today. I have to test on Saturday. I don't really know how I'm feeling anymore, I know that sounds weird. I want it here so I can move on, but I also don't want to see a negative test. I don't feel any different, which is the same as the negative cycles previous, so I just think I'm preparing for the inevitable 😢

What's next for you now? xx

@myrainbowjourney I've ordered 2 blood tests at home that I can take 48 hours apart so I'm going to monitor it myself. Costs a little bit but I just want see what HCG is doing at least. I know some woman have doubling hormones with Ectopics but most don't. So would rather catch any issues earlier rather than later x

@NewtoTTC87 I just can't believe it after they said they would do it on the day I miss my period then change their minds. They know they can find a sac earlier than 6 weeks and even just a couple of days makes all the difference with treatment being successful or not 😮‍💨😮‍💨

@myrainbowjourney I can understand. No one tells you how overwhelming this journey can be. Try and listen to your body and how you're feeling. It's cool to have periods like this. Also remember life can be full of surprises not everyone feels different. I didn't. And not one part of me thought last cycle was the one. If it isn't this cycle, it will be next ok. Fingers crossed for Saturday xxx

@HoneyLemon29 sorry they're stressing you out more then what you are already going through. At least you're staying on top of it. I would call my GP though and tell them exactly what's going on, say how much anxiety this is causing you & the fact they caught your ectopic at 5 weeks so why wait? Praying everything is fine and healthy xxx

@myrainbowjourney sorry forgot to answer question. In terms of what's next, I am planning on having another scan at 7 weeks (next week thurs), so that we can hear a heart beat. Everything still feels very surreal so it would be great to hear it. I am still full of worry but I guess this is expected at this stage. Then I am going to make a decision on where to have maternity care. They said I will have to have a c-section and be under doctor care as found a 2cm fibroid. Said nothing to worry about and very common however pregnancy and fibroids need to be monitored more closely apparently. So finger's crossed everything goes well x

Sounds good @HoneyLemon29. I'm sure there is nothing to worry about, but I can also only imagine the anxiety until you know it's in the right place. I'd be just the same.

Thank you @NewtoTTC87. You're right - it will be ok whatever happens.
That's exciting about next week. It seems to be going quickly, although probably not so much for you! Definitely expected to be worried, I think that's inevitable after past experiences. How are you symptoms wise? xx

@myrainbowjourney it will definitely be ok ❤️
I feel fine to be honest. Don’t really feel much apart from tiredness. Finding it very hard to drag myself to work every morning. Oh and super sore nipples x

@myrainbowjourney fingers crossed for you on Saturday 💜

@NewtoTTC87 I'm going to ring my own doctor at 4+6 so on Monday and see what they can do. For now my blood tests arrive today so I'll get my first result on Friday and 2nd result hopefully Sunday x

@HoneyLemon29 how are you getting on?

It's only today everything's gone into overdrive, I'll type up an essay lol.
So my HCG results for 4+1 have come back today as 884! Which was a lot higher than expected. So I rang EPU again to have one last kick off saying making me wait till 6 weeks isn't on. They've agreed to see me tonight for a blood test. Which is 2 days after the Medicheck so hopefully by tomorrow results I'll have doubling numbers and a scan arranged for early next week. They say they want numbers over 1500 for a scan and if they have doubled should be 1700 and something today 🤞
I know it doesn't rule out Ectopic but I know it reduces the risk. And I'll have a scan ready over a week earlier than they first wanted 🎉

@myrainbowjourney I am getting on off discomfort in my right side which has made my anxiety go through the roof. I'm so scared and now things are moving along and the anxiety is on top form. I do get similar pains in the left side and knowing I can't have an Ectopic in the left side I'm hoping and praying it's normal 🙏

Quick update for everyone
15DPO levels 884
17DPO levels 2406
Scan booked for tomorrow morn 😰😰
Terrified and shaking

@HoneyLemon29 wow those HCG levels are amazing arnt they 😄 my ectopic HCG at 15DPO was only 325 so those to me seem great! Good luck x

Looking really good @HoneyLemon29
My HCG at 5weeks was 54!

When I had my ectopic

@HoneyLemon29 sorry to hear you had to wait longer but glad you're getting scanned, thinking of you this morning
@myrainbowjourney hope you're OK too this weekend
