In the Company of Pregnant Ladies (No1 Babies Detective Agency pt6)

[nomoremagnolia]

Thought it was time we had a new home, seeing as we've almost outgrown the old one. So in honour to Scorpio, Sybil, BB and toomuch (hope I didn't forget anyone ) here we are - in the company of pregnant (and cheerful) ladies

With apologies for simply copying and pasting from other thread:
Unfortunately I don't have any good news - despite having what I thought was my period two weeks ago I have been diagnosed today with an ectopic pg. Had a bit of brown spotting yesterday and woke in the night with severe cramps on LH side. Rang out of hours GP who said it could be over stimultion on Clomid or ectopic pg. Did pg test, the only time I want a BFN and it's +ive. Straight off to early pg unit who scan me, take blood, poke and prod and confirm ep. Received great care from them and the epu was seperate from normal scanning/ maternity dept, which was really good after knowing some people's experiences. I only knew I was pg after I knew something was wrong so I'm feeling a bit bamboozled by emotions as well as physically being in pain. Am hoping I will m/c naturally as otherwise it means an op to remove the embryo and tube together, which terrifies me. Even if it's natural m/c I will be closely monitored for the next few weeks as they can't take the risk of anything being left behind in the tube.

oh my goodness nomore.

You must be feeling a thousand things right now. Take care, get some rest. I am so sorry

Sorry, but have you conceived at all before? (Can't remember)

My friend had a tube removed, and is now pg again after about 8 months. I know that isn't helpful, but maybe shows it can happen?

Thanks scorpio I am actually feeling quite numb about it all at the moment, though I'm fully expecting emotional meltdown at some point. How are you and little Millie doing?

Never been pg before -my first ever BFP was the one I didn't want. Typical!

I thought that this was your first BFP....

Expect the emotional meltdown - goodness knows it is normal, sweety. I am so sorry for you, i really am. I don't really know what else to say, I hope you are ok.

So they have left you to try to miscarry naturally? No risk of rupture for you?

Millie is doing great thankyou, sitting up and trying to crawl and is loving her food.

Am under strict instruction to call an ambulance if anything changes. Otherwise back on Mon for more scans/bloods etc. They want blood hormones to drop to show natural m/c but they will be monitoring for a few weeks as they need them to go back to 0 completely otherwise it's op as the risk of having anything left in tube is too dangerous. Guess if no drop in blood hormones then it will be op regardless.

I hope they drop for you, and that this is as painfree in all ways as can be.

Look after yourself, rest and eat well. xx

thank you am eating chocolate - is that eating well?

thats eating very well, i approve!

DH bought it for me on the way home from the hospital, he didn't even need asking

Nomore So sorry to read your news . Life is so unfair at times. Really hoping that it all happens naturally and doesn't take too long.

Nomore How are you today?

I'm feeling fine, which is so weird, I have to keep reminding myself that Fri wasn't just a dream. I'm so confused! I have to keep reminding myself to take things easy in case the ep ruptures. In fact I have to keep reminding myself that there's anything wrong.

I think maybe its because the first thing you knew about it was bad, therefore you hadnt htought baby, just medical thing? maybe?

Good luck at hospital, have been thinking of you xx

Thank you Scorpio It's so lovely to know there are so many MNers out there rooting for me! Off to hospital this pm for another blood test to see if levels are dropping, so I'll be back tonight with an update.

Hope all goes well this afternoon, Nomore.

Just gatecrashing to stalk nomore in a huggy kind of way!

"stalk in a huggy kind of way" Sounds fun I'm back home waiting be 5pm so I can ring the hospital for my blood test results.

waiting for it to be

Blood hcg levels have dropped so I'm waiting for a natural m/c in the next few days.
Hospital are happy to hand me over to my GP for monitoring. Guess it's the best news in the circumstances but I'm feeling more emotionally battered now the immediate worry/anxiety/fear is gone.

I'm pleased they have dropped for you. Look afte yourself, it will be very upsetting i'm sure . Try to rest. I hope it is pain free in so many ways xxx

Really glad they've dropped, Nomore. Hope the next few days are as easy as possible in the circumstances. Sending you lots of virtual hugs.

Hi Nomore, just checking how you are, and telling you to rest

I have just dropped in and seen your news Nomore, I am so sorry. Please try to rest, and don't expect to get over it in just a few days. I was devestated by my mc even with previous children. Jamie and I are thinking of you. Take care.
