I’m freaking out a little bit as I have just taken a pregnancy test and it’s positive, we haven’t been trying properly but obviously not been careful- story is though I had an ectopic in April 2017 couldn’t get pregnant after so had an HyCoSy and they found that I had one tube that liquid didn’t go through- they diagnosed it as blocked and other that seemed fine- My ectopic tube 😣 I had this test nearly two years ago, we moved on to IVF shortly after and I had my son 5 months ago. Thinking about my history we’re obviously a bit nervous that this is also an ectopic- My period was due yesterday and I’ve taken a normal 25 m/mol sensitivity and it’s a clear positive 😫
So for those who have had an ectopic when did you get symptoms- like any pain? What were your tests like- did they progress as in did line get darker or did the weeks indicator change as when it’s expected. Did you get spotting- if so when did it start?
Hi there. I had a previous ectopic and had bleeding similar to a miscarraige at 6 weeks and then severe abdominal pain a week later at 7 weeks, it then ruptured and I had surgery and lost the tube. My pregnancy tests were normal. They should be able to scan from 5.5 weeks to check the sac is in the uterus so I'd push for this if you are worried.
Thats what they did for me on my subsequent pregnancies. I had 3 successful ones after that. I'm now 10 years later and trying with a new partner and I'm 45, hence the IVF - we are using donor. I wish you the best xx
Ok perfect thank you for letting me know, I just had my IVF baby 5 months ago! We just went straight into IVF after trying for a few months so maybe there’s a chance everything is ok, I was treated with methotrexate for the ectopic and I still have my tube. Let’s see what happens xxx
I had found out about mine at 6.5 weeks. My oh had to ring ambulance terrible pain in my lower abdomen and back. Really bad gas pains. Started spotting at 4 weeks and it carried on until then end the bleeding hit worse. Pain on one side and shoulder tip pain.I always had a strong positive on all my test.xxxx
The drs congratulated me and said I had done well getting pregnant with endo and sent me away from a and e. Said bleeding in pregnancy is normal. Then a week later I was back in an ambulance. Trust your gut if you don’t feel right go and get checked but if you have had an ectopic previously they should take you more seriously. Is the tube you have left your good tube? Xxxx
Seriously! That’s ridiculous! I bet you really don’t trust doctors now 😕 Well I didn’t trust any of my tubes so I don’t/ didn’t think I had a good tube- I have both of them my left one was the one I had the ectopic in but was apparently not blocked, and the right when I had the HyCoSy two years ago fluid didn’t follow through so they presumed it was blocked- we moved on to IVF a few months after xxx
Yeah I’ve used medichecks but by the time it comes and then sent of and get results I’m sure I’ll be able to get a scan also don’t fancy doing the finger prick thing lol. I’ll research if there’s any where nearby xxxx
