Help From Anyone Who Has Been Through a Tubal Pregnancy!
Posted: 09-20-05 14:01pm

|
|
I am 10 weeks and I thought I was going
through a miscarriage. Yesterday I had a
vaginal ultrasound and the doctor thought
she saw something. They took my hormone
level a week ago and then yesterday. It
is staying the same which means no
pregnancybut also no miscarriage. The
thing that is confusing me is I am
spotting, but I have no pain and none of
the symptoms of a tubal pregnancy. Has
anyone ever been through this? Thanks!

One of my friends had this she actually
carried up till she was 36 weeks. They
had to do very close watching on her. It
is probably one of the most hardest
pregnancys you know.

Tracie, I had a tubal pregnancy. I was
spotting and had some pretty severe pain
where the pregnancy was. The doctor was
able to know it was tubal 1)because they
could not see anything in the ultrasound
2)when you hcg reaches 2500 you are
supposed to see something in uterus or
hear a heartbeat.
If you levels do not rise, you could be
experiencing a tubal pregnancy, or a
missed abortion. I would really ask you
doctor to tell you what he thinks is going
on. If it is tubal you want it taken
care of immediately to make sure you don't
jeapordize your future fertility.
Because my doc did not act fast enough I
lost my right tube--it made it so much
harder to get pregnant again.
Good luck to you, and I hope everything
works out.
Nancy

Thank you nancy. I have another
appointment tomorrow morning. I am so
glad that I saw the doctor I saw
yesterday. She took her time unlike tjhe
first doctor I saw. I had never met him,
but he rushed through the ultrasound and
told me I probably was just not as far
along as I thought!!! I am just ready to
know what is going on. It is so hard
going through this. Not really knowing
what is going on. Hopefully tomorrow's
test will let them know! Thank you!

Tracie ask them to check your levels. If
they are doubling every 2 days then you
have a good pregnancy. If they aren't
then the doc should know what to do from
there. I really hope it is not ectopic,
and that the first doc was right about you
not being as far along as you thought.
Best of luck to you and if you need
anything feel free to pm me. Let me know
what happens on your test tomorrow. Good
luck!
Nancy

I had no idea I was pregnant but I was
spotting and having unbearable pain. I
went to the hospital one night when the
pain got so bad I couldn't stand it. The
doc did a pregnancy test and it was
positive. I was shocked because my
husband (boyfriend at the time) and I were
very careful. Anyways, the doc siad it
sounded to him like I was having an
eptopic pregnancy. I had no idea what
that was so needless to say I was scared
to death. Next the doc ordered and ultra
sound and they found nothing, which made
them think I was having an eptopic even
more. They ended up sendng me home and
had me go to the doctor the next day.
They checked my hcg levels and they had
dropped alot...Which meant I was having a
miscarriage, not a tubal. The doc later
told me that the reason they couldn't see
anything on ultra sound was because I was
less then three weeks pregnant.
I hope you aren't having a eptopic
pregnancy!!! Try not to be to upset if
you are miscarrying. I got pregnant again
about 4 months after my miscarriage and
have a beautiful 2 month old baby boy.
Good luck!!! Let us knw what happens!!!
You are in my prayers!!

It is always good to get a second opinion
and especially if you do not feel to great
about the 1st one's opinion as this is
your right.

Hello All

Sorry I have left everyone hanging. I got
a call form them this morning and my
levels had dropped but now they are back
up to 529 so it is ectopic. I have to go
in today to discuss the pill they are
going to give me. I am sad, but at the
same time I am ready for it to be over
with. I have been going through this for
two weeks now. When I went in on monday
they did another ultrasound and my sac was
filled with blood then that is when the
doctor thought she saw something in my
tube. I am not in any pain so I am glad
they caught it earlier than later. I have
two beautiful kids that I need to be
healthy for. Alyssa grace is going to be
3 in december and ryan douglas is 17
months. So I am ready to put this behind
me so I can be a good mommy to them. We
want a third, but I think after this I am
going to wait a while. It has been really
hard on me. My husband is in illinois for
work so that has been hard too. He left
the day before we found out is could be
ectopic. Thank you for your prayers and
help. Hopefully in 6 months to a year I
will be posting good news! I will talk to
you ladies later. -tracie

Tracie, I am so sorry to hear that. But
you are right, it is a good thing it was
caught in time. I got pg again almost
exactly 8 months after my tube was
removed. So I suppose once you heal up,
and are ready we can hear good news from
you. Good luck, and let us know your
procedure went well. Ask you doc about
that pill and do some research on the net
before you take it. I heard some pills
can cause some pain and fainting. Take
care,
nancy

I went to the doctor and they sent me to
the hospital. They did more ultrasounds
there, and they told me I was just
miscarrying and that it is not tubal.
They are going to make me come in
throughout next week to check my levels to
make sure. They were 510 from the results
yesterday and they were 610 at the
hospital tonight. It has been such a long
day. My kids were with their grandma and
they were so tired tonight. We pick ryan,
my hubby, up tomorrow night at 9:15 and I
am really excited. So hopefully we can
make it through one more week of these
doctor visits and things will get back to
normal. Thank you for all your support
and advice. -tracie

I haven't lost it yet. I thought they
were going to do a d&c at the hospital
last night but they didn't. I have to go
in again tomorrow for more blood work. I
am just really ready for this all to be
over with. They are just taking their
time. They said it was an "inevitable
miscarriage" but they are still testing me
for tubal. They said they were positive
it wasn't tubal, but they are still
watching me for a tubal. So I have no
idea what is going on. They were supposed
to figure it all out last night and take
care of it so I was done with it all, but
that didn't happen. So as far as I know,
I haven't miscarried yet. I am just so
glad that my husband is back tonight. It
will bea little easier having him here
again.

Yes it will. I am so sorry that they are
putting you through all of this. I can
say I have been there bf and it is hard.
I will pray for you. I really dont know
what to say but that I am here for you to
talk to if that makes it any easier. I
will pray for you and your family.
My question is this your blood is going up
right? Well then why do they still say
you will misscarry?

The first ultrasound showed an abnormal
sac. At my second one, the sace had
started to fill with blood. My count is
going up but I think it is because my body
probably still thinks it is pregnant. I
haven't lost any tissue or anything.
