I found out I am pregnant at the beginning of the week....it's quite amazing, I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 months ago and was diagnosed with bad endo about 4 years ago (had 2 surgeries). On top of this I was actually on the BC pill to help with hormones as mine were the same as a menopausal woman and I'm only 26. I had a bad stomach upset due to metformin I was on and I think this was the cause of the pill not absorbing for a couple of days. This is my third pregnancy, I had my first two children very young and long before I developed endo.
Not that I'm complaining I didn't think I"d have children again.
I'm about 6 weeks I think, the blood test on Monday showed HCG of 51. My periods were not regular so it's hard to pinpoint the date.
I'm very afraid right now, I'm experiencing quite a lot of pain. I have had it for about the last 4 weeks, it's definately not stretching pains, it's more deep down like bad period pain. And there is other pain that feels like ovulation pain.
I"m terrified of the chances of an ectopic pregnancy due to the two surgeries I had, both which had apparently left me with adhesions that showed up on an ultrasound about a year ago. The first surgery was very in depth, I had endo all through the repo organs and my ovary was stuck to my bowel, and it was all around my ureatha. The second was a stuff up due to the public hospital system, they opened me right up for just an endometrioma. Both surgeries saved everything. I have felt in the last 6 months that the endo was definately coming back, a large increase in the pain around *that* time. The PCOS surprised me though.
My question is has anyone had this experience, gotten pregnant after a couple of endo surgeries? And it was viable?
Does one sided pain always mean ectopic pregnancy? Do you need an US to rule it out?
Im trying hard not to be anxious, I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow, but it will be a while until I can get in for a scan if he can order one.
