Pregnancy Info HOME

I know someone who has had 2 ectopic pregnancies and is now 38 wks pg with a boy! They said she would never get pg again because of the damage done. So....I would say let GO of the stress! Stress can make it harder to get pg and also is not good for baby if you are pg! Think positive. Not to minimize what you have been through as I know losing a baby is horrible, but try to remain positive and have fun with the "trying"!!! :-)

Thanks

Hi Sara. I had an ectopic pregnancy 12 years ago. I collapsed with internal bleeding. I didnt know I was pregnant as the tests were negative. However, my right tube had burst and had to be removed. I didnt have any pregnancy signs other than late period. Then the dreadful pain which was due to the ruptured tube. I was around 6-8 weeks pregnant. However, since then I have had two healthy pregnancies. My eldest is 10 yrs and my youngest is 6 years , I am now expecting my third child - all is going well so far. I am 25 weeks. My advice is to keep doing the tests and if there is any faint line at all it means you are pregnant. You can buy them in bulk on ebay for a fraction of the cost you pay in stores. If you have any pain at all or you feel different in any way, please get your doctor to do a blood test. That will show a definite positive if you are pregnant. Shoulder pain is very common in ectopic pregnancy. Go with your own instinct. I live in UK so I dont know what the procedure is where you live but in UK as soon as pregnancy is determined I was sent to an early pregnancy clinic who did early ultrasound to check baby was where it should be. You say you had no scarring or much damage so I think you will be fine. I am proof that you can conceive afterwards. Talk to your husband. I know what men are like but you need support either way. I hope this helps. Please keep me posted. You can talk to me here anytime. Take care x

Well.. Sandra-c.. I Just wanted to keep you informed.. My doc put me on prenatals last week.. and Of course the pharmacy is out so I have to wait until their shipment comes in. On a better note all the cramps went away.. and I am nolonger spotting. In a way i feel definitly revealed because I don't want anything to be wrong.. but in another way.. I feel a bit sad.. I really want to conceive. yesterday and today I have had some soreness in my breasts.. so hopefully that could be my first sign of pregnancy. I keep praying for a healthy happy pregnancy. so hopefully that will come true. My period is due on the 8th .. i think so Around that time if it doesn't come I will take another hpt.. so hopefully I will get a bfp.. but if not I will definitly keep trying.. thanks for your advice!!!

Hi Sara. I am hoping hard for you that you will get a BFP soon. However, on reading your original post it says you had a period but it was light with spotting. That happened to me this time. I didnt know I was pregnant cos I thought I had my period but then I started feeling sick. sore breasts etc and I found out I was pregnant. I know it's said often but you will conceive when the time is right. It will happen, I am sure. But please remain positive and try not to get too stressed cos this will just add to the frustration and will probably make it harder for you to conceive. You wont get a positive urine pregnancy test until around 6 weeks pregnant so just keep testiing. Good luck.

It took me about 4 years, but I just gave birth to my son 5 months ago after having an ectopic. My right tube ruptured and was taken out. Your husband is your right hand... You should be able to talk to him about anything, ya know? Especially about your fears. Good luck!
