Re: will my expectant management work?

Do you see pregnant women everywhere? I remember that when it first happened. I tried for 3 months to no avail. Have family visiting at mo (I'm irish living in oz) so no room for trying. It seems I have a luteal phase defect- I had cycle tracking so I'm waiting on Gyno appointment and hoping in the ...

Re: will my expectant management work?

Sorry to hear your HCG is rising. I something regret not getting the shot. I still have a 6mm mass in my tube as a result of Exp mngt.
Hope it all goes ok for you, at end of day you have to do the best for your safety.

Amjadr it's such a daunting time. Totally ok for your emotions to be all over the place. 8 months later and I still have my days of being a complete mess. Take care

Re: will my expectant management work?

I was unaware I was pregnant and because of the bleeding it was confusing about dates but I suspect my HCG was already falling. I was told once levels reached -5 to wait one cycle to increase folic acid and then try. I tried for 3 months and have taken a break since trying with the plan to try again...

One step forward two steps back

I'm a month away from my due date and I have quickly unravelled. I was doing what I thought was really well and then the last week I have just crumbled. I even left work on Friday. Something I never do. I'm breaking down left right and centre and I can't believe I'm back here. My parents are arrivin...

Re: Broke down in middle of [Brand Name not allowed]!

I hear ya. My parents are arriving to oz for Christmas and I'm very aware I should be greeting them at the airport with a newborn. I'm also petrified that they will see right through my facade and know I'm not dealing particularly well. Maybe we should get a special Christmas tree ornament to honour...

Re: Coping / relaxing

Fertility massage seems like it could be helpful. I'm in Perth but my lady trained in the UK so if u that direction might be of interest. http://www.edwinataylor.com.au/fertility-massage-2/

Re: Coping / relaxing

I've been trying for 3 months. I do acupuncture/cupping I don't know if it's helping but I have the best sleeps after it so at least that's one thing. Soon after the ectopic I did kinesiology- it wasn't for me but I have friends that swear by it for stress/grief. My yogi friend has also tried to get...

Re: Understanding my emotions

Hi Sara,
I did exp mngt and I find I get pain in the same side around ovulation. Worse if I ovulate from that side obviously. I still have 6mm of "tissue" there so maybe it's the egg trying to get past that? Has yours completely resolved?

Re: Which treatment option?

Thanks! Didn't expect that. I do it for a form of therapy. But I'm glad it's helped you. My theory was if I can do it without drugs I will! So hope everything runs smoothly for you. I know every case is different but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Hope the HCG keeps dropping! Annie

Re: Struggling

Mine happened on Easter and due date was Christmas. I also feel Christmas won't be what it should be. Have you thought about counselling? I myself am contemplating it but feel at this stage I "should be over it" and I'm probably too proud to go for it. In my heart of hearts think that's pr...

Re: Which treatment option?

If ur helps everyone did seem shocked about the length of time. I would demand that all questions are answered. The initial scan I had at EPU they told me when I was back the following week that they could answer any questions. I never even got past reception I got told my HCG levels and was sent on...
