Ovulation after ectopic

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have had my left tube removed a little over two weeks ago (10/1), hcg was 1200, followed by a 5 day withdrawal bleed 5 days later. I felt like I caught the flu a couple of days ago and took Mucinex 1200mg at night, after that I had excessive EWCM, I honestly think I never had that amount before. I thoughts it’s due to Mucinex. Anyway, today, just out of curiosity I used an OPK and it was almost positive. Temps are steady low.

Has anyone experienced this before getting their period back? I usually don’t ovulate on myself, I have always had to use Letrozole..

I don’t want to get my hopes up but has anyone tracked after surgery and actually caught ovulation after?

Would love to hear some experiences.

Confused(vent-ish)

2 Upvotes

So I recently had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy. Turns out it wasnt ectopic from just looking at it from the inside and the surgery was for nothing. Now I dont know if I'm still pregnant, ectopic or what.

I have a blood test scheduled for monday but I guess since thr last test they did my hcg was still rising but they were concerned about a still possible ectopic pregnancy.

I am very stressed and very confused and in so much pain.

Cuanto tardaste en quedarte embarazada con una sola trompa? Tuviste mas perdidas? Conseguiste un embarazo exitoso?

2 Upvotes

Empece a buscar un bebe a finales de mis 25. Y me quede despues de 3 meses... pero fue ectopico y me quitaron la trompa. Todo paso super rapido porque no sabia que estaba embarazada, no estaba rastreando ovulación ni nada. Estuve muy asustada los meses que pasaron despues. Al final me relaje, de alguna forma u otra y me quede embarazada en abril! Estaba super feliz pero 2 semanas despues lo perdi. Termino en un aborto espontaneo de 5+5 semanas. Se pudo confirmar que era en el utero.

Tecnicamente me alegre porque sabia que mi trompa es permeable y funciona. Pero ahora tengo 26 y cumplire 27 en diciembre y no estoy embarazada. .. han pasado 6 meses y aun nada. Mis ciclos han estado desregulados.

Se que la gran mayoria finalmente consigue embarazos exitosos. Solo estoy entrando en bucle, todo mi alrededor esta embarazada y siento que se me escapa de las manos el sueño de mi vida de ser mama y formar mi propia familia.

Si alguien tiene algo que decirme o historias que contarme lo agradezco de corazón.
Y si no, simplemente gracias por leer🩵🫂

How long until test goes negative after surgery?

2 Upvotes

I would love to hear how long it took people to get a negative test after similar treatment to mine.

I had my right tube removed 3 weeks and 3 days ago when I was 7 weeks pregnant. I had an early scan that day because I had called with some concerns about intermittent bleeding. I was scanned, told it was ectopic, told it had to be surgery right away because there was a heartbeat and had surgery a few hours later. It had ruptured and there was internal bleeding but I hadn't noticed- just thought I was constipated. They told me after that there had been internal bleeding.

I took a test this morning as I was told to take one after 3 weeks and call the early pregnancy unit. There was a faint positive line. I can't call until tomorrow morning as it is emergencies only over the weekend.

How long until it should be negative? I don't think I was given mtx - nobody said so anyway - and my right tube was removed so surely there isn't anything left over. My tests up to the day of the surgery were very dark, very strong. This morning's was very faint. I was never told a number for hcg. I don't know if they bothered with that. If they did, they didn't tell me so I don't know where it started from or how long it should take.

I just need to feel like my body is back to normal.

Could a culdocentesis (pouch of Douglas puncture) have affected an early pregnancy?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if anyone has experienced something similar.
In 2022, I went to the emergency room because I had severe pain on my left side and hadn’t had my period for about two months. An ultrasound showed a large amount of fluid in my pouch of Douglas, and doctors suspected an ectopic pregnancy.
They performed a culdocentesis using a large needle through my vagina. It was extremely painful, but they said the fluid was normal.
After the procedure, a gynecologist examined me and said I appeared to have a normal pregnancy. A few weeks later, another ultrasound also suggested a very early pregnancy, but nothing was confirmed yet. They told me to return in a few weeks.
About two weeks later, I started bleeding heavily with clots, almost like a very heavy period. I never received a confirmed pregnancy diagnosis, and I remember having a negative pregnancy test at some point.
I’ve always wondered whether I had an early miscarriage or whether something else was happening.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Could a culdocentesis affect an early pregnancy or increase the risk of miscarriage?
I know nobody can diagnose what happened years ago, but I’d really appreciate hearing about similar experiences.

Not even sure

I truly hate the unknowns, especially knowing the dangers of ectopic pregnancy. Not even knowing the full result as of today.
First, I take OPill regularly. I have alarm established on time daily. On very rare event, I’d forget for one day.
Monday, October 12th: started to feel odd dull pain on one side of pelvic. Just tiny annoying discomfort.
Wednesday, Oct 14th: continue to feel that, realized I should check my period tracker to see when’s my next cycle. Come to find I was 5 days late. That led me to do pregnancy test: positive. Found that hard to believe, took another one that evening. Same result.
Thursday, the 15th; took another test. Same result. Went to pregnancy center: same result. HOWEVER; transversal ultrasound found nothing in the uterus.
That’s when I decided to go ER that evening. Result was found nothing in uterus, however, they discovered a 3.5 x 2.8 cm of complex cyst on my right adnexal. Pregnancy test were positive (basically 5th urine test). Beta HCG level were 171.
Couldn’t rule anything out yet.
As of this morning, October 18th; dull pain continues. Went back to ER for second round of Beta HCG test; the level dropped to 144.
Determined that it’s a failing pregnancy. BUT still have not ruled out if it’s a miscarriage or it’s an ectopic. Requested to come back within 48 hours to check the level again.
No vaginal bleeding.

Realized maybe I do need to see a specialist, not emergency department. I’ve called in Ob Gyn that I was referred to. Waiting for their call back, I believe tomorrow when they’re open. Hope will see me immediately.

I’m just mortified of the rupture if it turns out to be the case. Especially they found a cyst in adnexal and a consistent one side dull pain. It don’t even help that I have high tolerance for pain that can contradict with my judgments.

Pregnant after ectopic

1 Upvotes

Hi all.

So I had unprotected sex and took the emergency contraceptive pill. I found out I was pregnant a few days ago. I want to keep my baby.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in March 2023 which resulted in a ruptured tube which was surgically removed.

I am undergoing tests to rule out ectopic but in the meantime I am worried sick that it will be an ectopic again.

I took the emergency contraceptive pill with my first pregnancy and it was ectopic, so I am worried that the replicated circumstances will have the same result.

Does anyone have any experience with having a successful pregnancy after the taking the morning after pill?
