Hospital tomorrow *UPDATE*
Evening girls,
Hope we are all well this wednesday eve!
Just to let you know that I am back at the hosp tomorrow, they called today and want to scan me again in the morning before deciding on course of action. Is looking very like a ectopic now and they discussed the injection on the phone briefly (sorry can't spell it) so am preparing myself for that.
Funnily I don't feel scared or too upset, finally we might be on our way to closing this sad chapter
I know I will be nervous tomorrow but will gain strength from all of the wonderful support I have had you from you, remembering that I am not the only one at the dreaded hosp tomorrow.
Thank you again girls for your support and to MafiaP especially for helping prepare me and for giving me the information to cope with what tomorrow may bring.
Love MrsH xxx

Well I had a scan this morning and the 'cystic area' they saw 2 weeks ago is definitely still there and possibly a little bigger now which could explain the hormone levels. Because I am not in any pain, the level my hormones are at and the presence of these couple of cysts they are still thinking that it was a mc rather than ectopic. SO.... back to the hosp next Thurs for repeat bloods and then if the levels are up or have plateaud (sp!) then they will give me the Methexorate injections (for ectopics) for 'closure.' (Their words not mine).
I went today prepared for the injection and the news that it was an ect pg but no, feel bit relieved but to be honest I still may end up having the treatment so we shall see. Another week of waiting for me.
Sad but true, have been to my local EPU so much in the past 3 weeks that they know my name and recognise me now when I go in :roll:
Thank you for all the kind wishes and letting me know that you were thinking of us, it certainly got me through the visit. xxxxx

I am glad that they have finally made some decisions about your treatment & like you say you can move on from this sad chapter, knowing that we are all here to offer support.
Lots of hugs xxx
I promise you the injection (methotrexate) is nothing to be scared about. They will weight you and measure you so you get a made to measure dose.
I had mine in my bum and feels a bit cold and goes a bit numb after but that only lasts about 5 mins.
If I had any advice, tell work you won;t be in next week and maybe not the week after. Get the duvet down and get lots of rest and the methotrexate can make you feel very tired.
I'd also get some codeine in just in case you need it.
Like you, I felt relief that it was all goingto be over very soon.
I'll be thinking of you and if you need anything please just e-mail me x x x
Thanks MP - thanks to you I feel as prepared as I can for what might happen and although I will be nervous I know I can get through this. Thank you for your advice regarding work etc... I think I will ask the hosp for a doctors note so I don't have the 'going back to work pressure' on me for a few days at least.
My inlaws are here with us at the mo (live partly in Spain but buying house here for a UK base) so lots of people to take care of me - my MIL won't let me lift a finger, bless her!
Just got to focus on getting through tomorrow/friday and then looking to the future xx
think of you lots xx
My hospital wouldn't give me a note but I calle my GP and he signed me off for 3 weeks no question. I know a lot of people who have had next to no symptoms after but I had a bit of tugging where it was and it hurt to go for a wee.
Nobody told me to expect it so I was thinking something was very wrong. I was also a bit stupid and was trying to deal with it without pain relief. Once my hubby force fed me codeine I was 100% better. The hospital gave me loads!
You will prob be asked to go back for bloods on day 4 and day 7 after to check your hcg.
I know you probablely don't feel like it but you are being so brave x x
The hosp have said that they will give me a docs note so not worried about that. Will check and see if they will give me some codeine, if not will get hubs to get some just incase.
Thank you again MF for all your support, what would I have done without you hun?!!
Thank you also to littleb xxxx

Your hospital sound fab, good for them with their note!
This sounds awful but when I had my jab me and hubby were in hysterics as dr spoke v limited english and as she was about to do it she said "i'm going to give you some alcohol!" meaning the wipe. I said "oh i'll have a kir royale please" was totally lost on her and me and hubby had the worst laughing fit ever! she must have thought we were bonkers but it broke the tension and made us feel better! x x x
Have to say the hosp has been very good which is not always what people say.
I have definitely not felt isolated, between you girls, my hubs, family and friends, I count myself very lucky
I hope that I can repay the help and support you have given me in the future for someone else although I hope no - one has to go through this.
