I had an ectopic at the start of 2004. At the time, the ultrasound picked up blockages on both tubes, as I remember one was about the size of a 20 cent coin, the other a 50 cent coin. The baby turned out to be the smaller, and the larger was a massive cyst. When they took the baby and it's tube, they drained the cyst on the other one after trying to decide if they should just remove that tube also. They told me my chances were very limited to fall pregnant again naturally. I was devastated, and didn't handle the whole thing very well. I knew I should get checked before conceiving again, but I never even made an appointment. After 12 months of ttc naturally, I just gave up and figured I had been rendrered sterile. So I stopped taking note of dates for AF (which were messed up anyway after the op). But then I felt so ill one day that I had to do a test., Went to my doctor and got a scan, and the baby was where it should be and 6 weeks size. Every medical person I spoke to about the pregnancy was amazed at how lucky I was. My beautiful DD will be 3 in June!
We were ttc again for 6 months when she was 6 months old, and nothing. last November we decided we would try again, and (although it ended in very early miscarriage - not ectopic) I managed to fall pregnant straight away! After the loss we did something we had never done before and started trying again right away and I am assumed to be about 5-7 weeks! Ectopic not ruled out yet, as I am spotting, but hcg levels nice and normal.
