Hey ladies

So I took a plan b March 22nd after u lmprotected sex with my BFadt toward tk two weeks and I got a BFP. I had Normal Symptoms and then last night after work I had stringy pink mucus and slight cramping. I went to the ED. They confirmed my cervix was closed and I was pregnant. My levels were low for me 389. I’ve had two successful pregnancies and my levels were alway extremely high. I went home and when I woke up the pain got worse and more mucus. I went back to the ED and they did an Ultrasound and couldn’t find anything. They said there was no intrauterine Pregnancy and couldn’t see anything in the tubes. There was also no fluid. They told me to recheck my levels in two days to see. I’m sure at this point it may be be a viable pregnancy but I’m scared about having my tube damaged or removed. I am having back pain on one side and loose stools. If I catch it early can my tube be saved

Thank you! Did more blood work today. The bleeding is easing up and I wasn’t an any pain today. They said I should have my results by tomorrow so hopefully the numbers are going down correctly

So what's that process now? Hopefully you are being well looked after

aetw · 21/04/2018 07:31

Oh goodness Op, I’m so sorry. I was really hoping that it had turned a corner for you. At least your numbers are still relatively low. Are you opting for injection or surgery. Good luck with whatever you choose. Make sure you drink plenty of water if you have the injection. Don’t get dehydrated. Xxx

Sorry to hear that @Muva1234 are they going to try and treat it without surgery? Because my hormone levels didn't ever get high - they stayed the same or hovered around the same level - I chose methotrexate as I really didn't want surgery. It is a longer process but I didn't feel unwell. Just fed up. Hope that's an option for you x

Sorry to hear that you're going through this. I had surgery for an ectopic a month ago after taking the morning after pill. Mine started to rupture while I was at the hospital early pregnancy clinic so I ended up being rushed around to emergency, put in resus area with lots of staff running around doing things (very scary) and then in surgery. It was painful and scary but I was back to normal physically 2 weeks later.

I had been going to choose methotraxate as other posted have mentioned if they had found it on the scan that day as I didn't want surgery (they never did manage to find it on a scan despite hcg being around 2000), but the operation turned out to be ok if painful for a few days (I had morphine as pain relief in hospital and endone afterwards). I hope you recover OK whichever option you take.

Quick update: the dr was very rude, she suggested the shot but told me that it could possibly still rupture. I made the option of going in to see if she could see the ectopic If not I would get the shot. During surgery she said that I started to bleed so she had to remove the tube. So I have two ovaries and one tube. I’m an emotional mess. I lost my son to SIDS and have one daughter. Me and my boyfriend wanted theee kids. I feel ashamed and like I won’t be able to give him more children. This whole experience was a nightmare. If it wasn’t for me being persistent, it could have been worse

That is horrific. Please look after yourself and allow yourself to grieve.

I only have 1 ovary but 2 tunes (born this way) and have Dd and expecting again. You can still have more children. But in the meantime get better and rest. The whole experience has been exhausting I'm sure

kirinm · 21/04/2018 17:50

I'm sorry you had to deal with a difficult doctor as well as everything else going on at the moment. Rest assured, plenty of women go on to have babies after having tube removed. Honestly, you've got absolutely nothing to feel ashamed about.

Op, things will feel a mess for a while. It’s a very very hard thing to go through. If you haven’t been through the trauma of it then you don’t understand how awful it can be. I thought all thing things you have been describing. I was left with a completely blocked right tube as a result. I am now pregnant again so it can happen and it will happen for you.
However right now you need to focus on recovery. That has to be your main aim. Rest, talk to people about how you feel and do good things for you. I spent months punishing myself with what ifs! It’s useless. Don’t do what I did. Love and look after yourself. All my heartfelt best wishes to you Op. you have had a really hard time. Xxx

Thank you so much, you’ve been great and I’m a total stranger. ! I feel a lot better and optimistic this morning. My boyfriend has been so supportive and so good. Yes resting and getting my body back is the focus right now. Also my mental, I think the physical pain is making me forget the fact I still lost a bany.

Yep, it is exhausting and the pain at times is unreal. You are going to need s bit of time to physically feel more capable after that op. Just take it slow. Make sure you get signed off from your doctors for at least two weeks. I really needed that time. Xxx
