Re: Heart is broken...

i had over 3 losses but even so, with perseverance my family was formed and my heart is healing. Time heals. I am sorry for your losses. 1 loss is too many, and Uncertainty is very difficult. One day this will be behind you, hang in there.

Re: I could have died? anyone else struggling with this?

It occurred to me that if it were 1900 I would have died. I suppose I came close even so for ep#1. But even though my vitals were lost twice(!) I didn't have the instinct that I was dying, I considered the possibility while lying there semi conscious and was ok with it. Don't get me wrong, I am thri...

Re: Disappointed with Ectopic care

Celine, I think in general this society discourages women from being angry. I am sorry for your treatment (or lack thereof) trauma. It would be great to hold medical care accountable. Instead of - the dr's and staff are doing their best - to ensure they have the education and tools to do the best. E...

Re: ectopic pregnancy a couple years on..

I used the online ovulation tracking tool and conceived with one tube 18 cycles after my ep. With the tracker I knew I was timing it correctly, but like I said, we clearly had other things going on (unexplained). I am not sure if there are diet changes, etc. that could reduce your endometriosis. I t...

Re: Disappointed with Ectopic care

Thankfully with MTX many women today are helped without surgery or trauma, but obviously the "industry" has a ways to go, for timely diagnosis and treatment. For me, even the emergency room treatment was delayed because the regular doctor claimed "separation pain" common with MTX...

Re: ectopic pregnancy a couple years on..

It took me on average 12 months to conceive (unexplained) - as little as 2 months and much as 24 months. I kept hoping the next one would work, but with difficulty conceiving combined with early pregnancy loss (unexplained), eventually I ran out of time - started TTC at 31 and turned to IVF at 38. I...

Re: Disappointed with Ectopic care

I hear you. With my eps I had no pain at all (until rupture with the 1st). My 1st ep, 1st doctor did delayed diagnosis and then I was called "the ectopic" at the office - further indicated their lack of experience. I can find online decision charts that show mine was mismanaged (sent home ...

Re: C section scar pregnancy

I hope someone with that specific experience responds. In the meantime, both my eps lagged - low hCG, but started growing, so they measured 3-4w behind. My hCG continued to increase so treatment was sooner than later (in my case MTX shots to start). Yesterday I was told my ep is likely a defect of m...
