It's All Too Much!
My DH and I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2006 and this resulted in my right tube being removed in emergency surgery.
In March of last year we decided to go to our GP to have some test done as we were still not pregnant after trying for over a year, I have had HSG, Lap and Dye and been seeing my fertility consultant since May 2008. In January of this year, we were prescribed Clomid and one week last Thursday I did a pregnancy test, thinking that it would be negative, as I assumed I had my period the week before.
Went to EPAU to be told that it was possibly another ectopic and that they couldn't be 100% as they were not sure if they could see anything as we would have been approx 5 weeks pregnant. The hospital kept me in and luckily did not have to have any surgery, so my left tube is still remaining. They keep running HCG levels and although they are dropping they are still over 200.
How can this happen again? Why can't we manage to get pregnant and keep it full term?
We are seeing our fertility consultant on Thursday and hopefully will get some answers as to where we go from here.
Sorry for moan, I just don't know what to do!

Sorry to see your message - I really wish I had an answer and could help more - I had an ectopic and right tube removed 6 weeks ago so can kind of understand that part - am very pleased to hear you did not have to have surgery this time
it sounds like you are being listened to and the clomid may work in the future - I know this doesn;t help now so all I can say is that I hope things work out for you soon and that you get some more answers on Thursday

Thanks for your message and sorry to hear of your loss - saying it will get easier - doesn't make it any better to deal with.
Just be there for each other and talk about it, don't bottle it up.
Thanks
Sarah
I am so sorry for your recent loss. It sounds like you really have had every bit of bad luck going thrown at you. Life really is cruel sometimes. I am sorry I can't say anything to take the pain away at the moment, but we are here for you if you need someone to listen. I hope you can get some answers and support from the doctor this week.
Sending you gentle hugs at this difficult time.
