Morning Ladies - am off out for pizza for lunch today - so nice to get out for an hour or so - I'm soooo tired this morning I didn't want to open my eyes!!!! So didn't get up til 10!!!! This is happening too oftern - can't believe how sleepy I am!
Broxi - I have sent you an invite!!! And I've added you on MSN incase you ever wanna chat - feel free to block me...
Katy - any better today??? I hope you start to feel better.
Ooo Broxi - I remembered yyour results were similar - so I'm hoping that this is the last week of bleeding!!!!!
I go back to work wednesday - but I am going to go see my doctor Tuesday to make sure it's ok as I don't wanna go back and then have to leave again!!!
Oooo my charms have just arrived and are lovely! On the back of the Saint Gerrard one it says "pray for us" and although I'm not religous at all - I thought it was sweet!
Ah, you know, up and down. Feeling better today that yesterday! Just praying that next week I either OV from left ovary of I have a clever reproductive system and an egg from my right ovary will off-road it to my left tube
Hi Kimmy - how are you doing??? You are welcome to join us on the other Forum too - just send me your email address and I'll send you a link - not sure how whether I'm allowed to post a link on here!!!
Got your email Broxi - welcome to the Sisterhood...LOL!!!
I am already way behind getting ready to go to lunch...lol!!! Been playing on the computer - opps!!!
good day today pain free so far . good tip bout writing down q's shall do that.
MWB i just mailed you for my invite.
I just found out one of my "mates" isnt as holier than thou as i thought. She is very big on privacy & trust as am i & hates people talking about her & when she went through a bad experience she told me in confidence & i kept that confidence & didnt break it to this day, but turns out its ok for her to tell her mother stuff about me (i.e. the baby) who in turn chats with my other mate about it & who knows who else. Was sooo annoyed earlier but not worth the hassle in making a big deal of it, it would prob end in tears & i'd be the bad guy :roll: I didnt directly ask her to keep it quiet but still thats double standards to me i thought it would be obvious that i'd tell who i wanted to know, you know? Anyways another lesson learned.
chat later off to make that steak pie been thinking of it ever since!! hubby just gone for flour i'm starving!!!
Im gatecrashing, but its nice to catch up on what your all up to, ive fallen behind a bit, what with the stupid failled op and then injections last week. My arms are bruised all over and i feel like a pin cushion.. im back to the hosp tomorrow for another blood test, please please fingers crossed everybody that they are going down, or else i'll be back in again tomorrow
A couple of things ive picked up on... Katyjo, you said you were drinking, i was told by 2 doc's and given a book that says that its really dangerous, cos of the liver failure thing. Anybody else read that? My lovely nurse said it would likely make me very sick?
Also i was told 3 months until ttc again, i was a bit worried but found similar advice on a few different sites... so roll on March
oh and lastly how can i join the new group? please x
Let us know how you get on today Gem78. I hope you finally get a conclusion, whatever that may be
Guys, I was thinking last night, and I tohught maybe we should ask the moderators on here if they would consider renaming the forums "Miacarriage and ectopic support" and "TTC after miscarriage and ectopic". I just thought that there is a few of us on here, and it would really help the situation give it the recognition it deserves. Other people don't even think of it when they think of problems in pregnancy and I think it is really important they do, due to it being life-threatening. It is very real for us
Gem87, I really hope things start picking up soon hun - let us know how you get on. Just send your email address - mine is princessmendi@hotmail.com - as I'm not sure if I can advertise the board on here and don't want to get banned!!!! Then I'll send you the link.
I too was told no drinking - it's been over 5 weeks since my injection - but I've still not touched a drop - but thats partly because I don't feel like it and partly because I haven't touched a drop in sooo long now I don't fancy it! But I was told it would make me feel sick too! But Katyjo took tablets of methorexate - not sure if thats any different?!?!?!
Kimmy - thats a good idea hun - they might do it for us! I also see your on the Sister boards now too - welcome!!!
I didn't do anything last night - and didn't eat much - after my pizza at lunch time!!!
I have offered to make my friends jewellery for when she gets married next year in July - so with that and me being cheif bridesmaid - so having to sort out the hen do - I should have a fairly busy schedule to keep my mind off the old ttc!!!
I don't know whether this is the correct email address to be using for this enquiry, but myself and a few ladies on BE had an idea we wanted to put to you.
There are a few of us recently who have had ectopic pregnancies, and we have been talking to each other on the MC forums. We were wondering if you would consider renaming the forums "Miscarriage and Ectopic Support" and "TTC after Miscarriage and Ectopic".
I realise that ectopic pregnancies are considered quite rare (1 in 100) but for those of us who have experience of it, they are a very real and heartbreaking thing.
I understand that there are ectopic support forums elsewhere on the web, but all of us really enjoy using BE and talking to the girls on there, not just in the MC forums but in TTC and pregnancy too, and would really like to continue using the site. We feel that ectopic pregnancies deserve more recognition than they currently get, and more awareness needs to be made for women who are TTC or who have just had BFPs, due to the fact that they are life-threatening
Hi girls & Gem course you're not gatecrashing!!! hope you got good news today. xx
Noone told me not to drink i even asked the nurse is there anything i cant do like avoid drinking etc. she said no nothing!! I was out last sat night & have also had a few glasses of wine during the week & i havnt felt sick with it?? Maybe i'll google & see what it says.
I had my last EPU appointment yes i said LAST my HCG is down to 8 "yaaayyyyy" !!!!, BUT because i keep on getting the pain they scanned me & the pregnancy is still there & has not shrunk at all its exactly the same size as it was 2 weeks ago, doc said now HCG is down to pre-pregnancy level it will shrink itself & be absorbed back into the system & i they dont expect i'll have any bleeding until AF which could take any length of time they just dont know, he said 6 weeks as a rough guide.
Aswell as that its not on my right ovary its in my left tube so the pain i am feeling on my left isnt reflective pain at all its exactly where it is (i asked nurse about pain on different side after scan she was not present), I must have misheard the sonographer cause it was on my notes it was the left one too. the scan today i was nearly in tears wiht the pain it was soooo sore & was for ages.
As for the 3 month wait i asked about that again today & they still advised me 6 as its quite a big deal if you concieve with MTX still in your system, if you dont mc, babies organs can be affected during the 1st 12 weeks of development & there is no test you can have to see is it all gone out of your system, so our hospital just advise to be 100% you are clear, that you wait 6 months. They said as soon as i get my +ve result (please god there will be another) then i've to go straight back up to them for early scans to check its a normal pg.
so sorry for long post i do get carried away :roll:. x
Hi hun - maybe it's different for tablets and injections???
I was told, no drink, no nurofen etc - had a whole leaflet on dos and don'ts!
Maybe it's good that you don't get bledding - maybe I've got your share - it's still happening to me!!!
Wish they could tell me whats happening to mine - but they can't see mine on the scan!
I was only told 3 months like the others - again don't know if it's different for tablets - how many lots of tablets did you take? I know it's 3 months for every injection - so two injections is 6 months - did you have two lots of tablets???
I'm sorry your in so much pain hun - get cocodamol from chemist and take that - it's stronget than paracetamol. Or go to the doc - my GP perscribed an anti-inflamatory painkiller - so takes down sweeling aswell.
I'm sorry you have to wait 6 months - any conselation - took me 18 months to get pg - I have PCOS and so it was on the 4th round of clomid I got pregnant - so I don't expect it to happen straight away!!! So by the time I get pg - you'll probably already be pg!!!
At least we all seem to be moving forward a bit. In the nicest way possibe, im so glad i have found you all here.
I went to the hosp friday, at last my hcg levels have fallen (down from (800 to 450) so that really good. Ive still got some fluid around my overie which they are keeping an eye on but other than that nothing more to worry about. My blood count was slighty low, but just advised some extra vits and iron. Give it a few weeks, i should be on the mend. (Did i tell you ive booked some counselling too, maybe just a few sessions, but it feels proactive to be able to off load to someone who understands, she a specialist in miscariage support)
Kimmy, i think the ectopic forum thing is such a good idea, well done for that.
The time for waiting to ttc is a bit confusing, on my leaflet from hosp it say's wait 2 months, ive read 3 on various websites, but i seriously dont think i can wait 6 months. I also have PCOS so it could take longer anyway. i just dont want to waste any more time. What do you think?
Anyway, hope your all good, have you guys ever thought about a meet up? Do BE ever do events?
MWB i only had one dose of MTX but it was 100mg (10 x 10mg tablets) & i vaguely remember reading someplace that one dose is 50mg so that could be it maybe they gave double dose.
You & Gem seem to be in a different position to me, i'm sorry to say this but i'm one of those girls that must piss you off sometimes. I've 3 kids & just have to wink at OH & i'm pg. With 1st fell 2nd month he's 6, 2nd fell 1st month she is 4, 3rd fell 1st month (with 1 bd!!) she is 2 & then this lo fell in 1st month, so i dont know what its like to have to wait & wait & wait, & i cant imagine how it must be for ye its so unfair, but now you can understand why i dont mind waiting the 6 months. I really hope you guys get your BFP ASAP though!!
Gem - counselling would be good hun - I don't feel I need it - but I have had it before - when me and my OH were going through a deciding phase of whether to have kids and a few of my friends were moving away and I had no one to talk to face to face - it was good for me - and she told me a lot of things about my self that I hadn't realised - so I was happy with it - and it made me be able to talk to my OH in more of a construstive way than just babbling about everything, because I had already babbled to her. Good luck with it hun. And a fellow PCOS-er were you on Clomid?
Katy - yeah I think maybe thats why you have to wait 6 months hun - as it's probably classed as 2 does! And yeah you kind of people p!ss me off but I'll forigve ya...lol!!! It's not your fault your really fertile!!! I wish I was but I'm not - and thats life!
I did try agnus castus when I was waiting for my af when I first came off the pill not sure if it worked for me or not. But think clomid works for me - hoping my gynae will put me back on that for a few months!
Had a good weekend - made all my mince pies and froze them yesterday. Today went for lunch with my lil sis who's 15 and her boyfriend - first time meeting the big sis! we had a nice meal then came back and watched a dvd! Nice relaxing day. Then I think my man is taking me out for dinner tonight too!!! Hmmm not doing the diet any good is it?!?!? LOL!!!
Katyjo you fertile lil thing, that made me laugh, bet your OH takes all the credit anyway!!!!
I didnt get around to trying clomid cos weridly i was only on my first month of trying, so obviously got lucky that month (in some respects), All the scans have revealed lots more cysts so i think i'll give it 6 months or so next time, if no luck i'll be heading back to me gp for some advice.
It's a bit laughable really, i spent my 20's fretting about my PCOS and fertility then bloody fall on the first month and go on to have ectopic... just goes to show we cant predict the future. My OH is really postive thou' and so that helps, it helps me believe that it's going to happen one day! Ive got the biggest hips... surely i was meant for babies! x
MWB well whether its AC or clomid you deserve a quick BFP!! Gem that is the pits about your PCOS but because you fell so quickly could that not mean that it may not be affecting your fertility?? sorry i know naff all about PCOS except that Victoria Beckham has it & now has her 3 boys fairy close together so perhaps you'll be lucky too.
They found a cyst on me too friday but she said its outside the ovary so cannot do any harm & i think she said on me tube but could be wrong, anyhow its perfectly harmless apparantly.
Lots of pain this morning it was sooo sore worst its been to date, & then hubby came in & told me he was heading off for the afternoon shooting, didnt have to heart to tell him it hurt & ask him to stay home he's been very good with the housework & cooking etc. he's a bit crap at the emotional support but makes up for it in other ways bless him! Anyway he went off none the wiser & god did i suffer from picking up that baby 200 times & carrying her around. She's the pits a real mummy's girl made worse by being woken from her snooze by big sister doing her hannah montanah impression you know the pulling of the cats tail version!!
Kimmy how are you keeping? good idea about the BE new forum idea, did you get a response yet?
