Hey IspyCharlie,

I'm so sorry for what you have been through, i know how you feel though. I had an ectopic a few months back, and they just kept looking at my hcg levels and waiting, untill on the 8th of June my tube ruptured and i had to have emergency surgery.

Even though i lost my tube, i somehow managed to concieve again on  my very next O date?? Wasn't supposed to even be bd'ing but when your down you do what you can to feel normal i guess. I didn't have any drugs for it though, just the surgery, and my hcg levels dropped back to normal in about 7 days.

I just wanted to pop in here and give you some hope for the future. I was terrified that i'd not be able to concieve again, and it was really bringing me down, But here i am 10 weeks after surgery and i'm just over 8 weeks pregnant!

A bit of a shock to us all, even my gp, but this wee peanut is our miricle baby.

Take care of yourself, and try to keep your chin up!

Thanks Krissie, I want to feel normal again too and having a regular sex life makes things semi normal again,so i know what you mean.Though I have to wait till things settle down to even begin to start thinking of it lol. I've had so many emotions of being insanely clucky,sad, and worrying that I won't be able to concieve, OR the possibility of having another ectopic because of damage to one of my tubes. Though storys like yours make me realise I'm lucky I've kept both tubes! Congrats on your pregnancy, I was due in March 2006 with ds, time flys!

Sh_az the ectopic drug depletes folic acid which is responable for generating embroynic cells and taking folic acid could effect the drugs effectiveness, thanks google lol. I think I'm going to start taking folic acid next month, to up my stores again.

Well my blood test on Friday showed my hcg had dropped to 81, so I think my bodys slowly getting back to normal

I was thinking we really need a thread for ttc after an ectopic, a nice little support group, or in my case waiting to ttc after an ectopic lol.

ttc after an ectopic is worrying stuff.. but you can get a scan at 6 weeks to find out if its viable or an ectopic but getting through til then is stressful

Yeah, or maybe a combined support thread for, -

*ttc after a pregnancy loss

* the scary first few months when we are pregnant again and beyond etc

I can't speak for others, but it certainly makes me feel better being able to talk about things like ttc again and all the emotions that will come when I do try again. Instead of chewing my partners ears off lol.

I went through an ectopic in June 08 and managed to get a BFP after 1 cycle. The Dr had told us to wait 1 cycle.

I MCed that one in Nov 08 and then had a chemical Pregnancy on Jan 09.

I have another BFP, but am so scared. I am trying to stay level headed and stress free but any little twinge gets me worried.

I am having Beta HCGs done to check my levels are rising.

Man I so hope this one is in the right place.
We have been TTC for 4 years now.

I been told various things to wait 3 months, to 1-2 cycles to try again, though I have decided to try again in October, which I am hanging out for!

Buzzydaisy, did you get any treatment with your ectopic? I'm a bit scared of falling pregnant now and miscarrying because it was too soon,or bub having a defect because of the mextroate shot I had.

I can sympathise on ttc taking forever, and I really hope everything goes well for you and bubs is all nice and cosy, and in the right place!

I had metotrexate as well, cant help but think there was not enough follow up to check things out afterwards. I fret ever time I get my BFP.
Any little niggle gets me so stressed.

Yeah, I know I'll be exactly the same with my next pregnancy, though each pregnancy is different and we have both had successful pregnancies!

One thing I have had from the hospital is a few drs/nurses following me up, which makes me feel better and I have another Gyne appt. this month. Though they weren't 100% certain on what was happening, and I had to go back numerous times before I got the mext. shot, which worked and my hcg levels dropped really quickly thankfully.

Have you tried rescue remedy buzzydaisy? That helped me with my anxiety.

Someone suggested rescue remedy to me the other day but, it has alcohol in it and said it wouldn't be good for pregnancy. Dont know if that ammount would do any harm but they dismissed it so I didn't try.

I just want to know my tubes arent blocked, I only have one good ovary and I really hope the way was clear for that little eggy.

BETA HCG results from this week come back tomorrow arvo so that will help set my heart at rest or cause more heartache.
Will try to lax back till then.

We tried after one cycle with my ectopic and got a BFP. Lots of people kept telling me that apparently you are really fertile after an ectopic. All the people I know who have had them have been UTD straight away too. So thats a bit of hope

Thanks buzzydaisy, hope is all I have at the moment! I'm a bit worried that I may have blocked tubes as well

Apparently rescue remedy is o.k during pregnancy, as you only take four drops at a time, though your right it does have alcohol in it.

Here's to a nice big rise in your hcg levels!!!

Rescue remedy is fine in pregnancy.

We were told to wait 6 months after having methotrexate and we did but then had a spina bifida baby. No one will ever know if its just a hell of a coincidence or if its related. Makes me wonder though what Jared might have been like if we had waited even longer or would he have been even worse if we had ttc earlier Its good at messing with your mind I tell ya!

When did you start taking folic acid with Jared, Kebakat? If you don't mind me asking.

I could only imagen the questions your've been through... I think I properly over analyse everything as a way of processing things, so I can try and get over it. Though I agree, it can be one big headf**k, to be blunt!
