I had an ectopic in February. Thankfully I never lost a tube as I was given Methotrexate. It has been and still is a long physical journey of healing HCG is now at 4 which is awesome. I know I have to wait to TTC. Truthfully I am sofrightened to TTC and the thought of sex really doen't interest me in the least. Anyone can relate?
i too have had an ectopic (and lost the tube) and I can relate...give yourself time...it really does get better eventually, although you will always have that element of fear and anxiety as part of your journey...and I think you need to accept that and also do all you can to try and keep it at a minimum, things like yoga, or acupuncture etc can help...there is the risk of another ectopic etc, but also the chance of a natural healthy pregnancy. I have been pregnant since...sadly those pregnancies have not lasted, but one of them was a natural pregnancy, and with only one "dodgy" tube left, the doctors were surprised that even happened. But it does and can happen!
I wish you luck. I know what a stressful time it can be.
Thank you for your reply! I know I will need to be brave and try again. I am pleased that I did not lose a tube so I guess I am lucky. I am also thrilled that we conceived as husbands past cancer treatment made me wonder. I will totally look into accupuncture and yoga as wellas follow up with my doctor to get everything checked.
I am sorry that you have had your experiences but if it means anything you are an inspiration to people like me. I hope to be as brave as you but more so I hope we both get what we are hoping for!
metho is good in one way as it does not remove your tube but bad in another
you have too wait 3 months before TTC again due to the risks of birth defects, this makes me feel like I have no control over things again but I guess it gives my body more time to recover
My hospital first told me to wait 6 months and then said 4 months should be ok so I think I will need to follow up with my regular doctor. I am ok with waiting a bit and I intend to find out all I can to prevent this from happening again. I know I don't have total control but I want to do what I can. Anyway it seems like the body takes a while to recover. I am 1 month from my meth shots and I am still not feeling great but I am trying to bounce back!
Hope you are all starting to feel better!
