Loops i just want to add that i had an ectopic while backpacking in Morocco, i had lots of pain, was sick both ends and just pray that if i was going to die it would happen quickly, i called my mum and she said to get home ASAP (i didnt know at this time what it was)
when i got home all my pain had gone, i went to see my guyie for updated results for my PCOS as i was moving to AUS (from London) the following week and knew i would need some papers when finding a Gynie in Melbourne, low and behold they asked me 'have you had any pain' i said well not really non more than usual (i forgot morocco, although it could have been upset tummy?) i was 9 weeks with an ectopic about that ruptured as surgery commenced, i was so ill afterwards, i had no idea i was pg, my af was irrugular anyway and i was getting some bleeding esp with sex. looking back i did have sore bb but never thought i could be pg as my gp had told me it would be hard with my PCOS when i was 13 years old (not that i was wanting it then!!) Although they will not seee anything till at least 5/6 weeks in US a bt is a good indication to what is happening, i would get another tomorrow as that is long enough to wait.
when i was with MIVF they thought i may have another ectopic (even with no tubes left, but in the stub part) but it was a blighted ovum as my levels did not rise consistantly.
I would like to add that having my tubes removed last year was the best thing i could have done, it removed the toxic fluid from me and therefor allowing my embie to stick this time round. i was in so much pain with my repaired tube and it just spread infection around my body with every IVF cycle. i wish i had had it done years sooner damanaged tubes can cause so many problems later on so pls do not dispaire if they do find an ectopic and need to remove your tube, it may give you a better chance of success and reduce pain and need for surgery later on like i needed (5 hours in one go)
Good luck to all those still cycling and waiting for BT
