Hi - sorry I realised I have posted in the wrong section. Have re-posted in M/C, as that is prob more appropriate. Please excuse newbie!
I would like to have a wee rant, if you don't mind. I've been having ttc dramas and I don't really have anyone to talk to about it. My friends are either preggie / have babies - or they are career focused at this point and not interested in ttc. Me and hubby ditched the birth control on the honeymoon and I came home pregnant! But sadly only a few days after a bfp, I was in the Emergency Dept. I had had sharp stabbing pains in one side and bleeding and PAAAIN! In the scan they never saw an embryo, but I was told it was most likely an ectopic. I was so lucky I didn't have to have surgery or the injection that removes the embryo from the tube. Although I was only preggie for 5 weeks, I was so devastated, but after a week I put on a brave face and got on with it. I'm so happy I didn't tell all and sundry I was pregnant! It was really hard breaking the bad news to family members who did know. Sometimes when I see babies now I feel like crying! Anyway I was told to wait two cycles and then I was free to try again. Well two cycles rolled around and I was free to try again this month. But goddamn it, at the time when I would have been ovulating I had the worst flu eva! No baby making was possible - snotty, feverish and deeply unsexy! Then I started having pains in my abdomen and thought it was a UTI. Turns out it was not a UTI and I eventually get sent to Emergency Dept again. Gyne suspected it was a cyst. But I had a scan today and no cyst, but maybe some scarring on the ovaries. I'm scared because I know scarring in the tubes can cause ectopics. I had really painful periods in my early twenties but just thought it was all part of being a woman - now I think maybe it was something more serious?? Going to gyne to discuss scan results tomorrow and I'm soo nervous to hear bad news. All I want now is a baby. One more thing, I have wanted a baby for ages but tried to be a good girl and do all the right things careerwise, financially and even got married - and now I feel so depressed that this is happening and like I should've just thought stuff it a few years ago and got me a bun in the oven then! That was quite long - sorry. If any of you have been in a similar situation or have any suggestions, I would love to hear from you:)

Hello and Welcome to OhBaby, I'm sure you will find everyone really lovely and helpful on here.
Don't know much about ectopics sorry as still waiting to TTC. But can sympathize with putting everything else first, ie career, finances and marriage there always seems to be an excuse to wait. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Hi Treen - love your avatar.
I actually re-posted down in the miscarriage forum. The scan came back fine, no cysts, BUT I was down at A and E (my new home away from home) yesterday because I got a shock bfp and then side cramping - a sign of another possible ectopic 
I have to go back to hospital on Mon to see if my hcg levels are climbing appropriately - if not it will probably mean I will have another ectopic. In no-mans land at the mo, but DH and kitties have been very loving! |
