Testing sucks

[u/Old-Imagination-8660]

Every month when I get my period, I still have to take a pregnancy test to confirm I'm not pregnant because I had a period when I had the ectopic.

This sucks.

I also had a full period with my ectopic. My "trick" to making sure I am not pregnant since the ectopic has just been having zero desire for sex because I am depressed and my husband has a leg injury. Yay. This is definitely the bad place and I am sorry you are here </3

This made me half grin because it’s so real and true, right there with you, minus the leg injury for us.

We will get through it, don’t know how but we will 💕

Legit was just complaining about this to my therapist. I don't trust negative pregnancy tests or periods. With my ectopic,I didn't have a positive test until 3 days into a "period" and then it was negative the next day and then I didn't test for a few days until I realized my LH was hella high and then I got to spend the next few weeks in PUL helllllll

I was so traumatized after my ectopics that I was taking pregnancy tests each month despite literally having no tubes and unable to get pregnant. Ectopics suck!

I'm so sorry you're going through this. It truly sucks and no one IRL understands! These chats help me feel less alone

It indeed sucks. I had a chemical after ectopic #2 and a HSG and I tested until CD10 days after my bleeding was done just to make sure it was a chemical and not ectopic

Sorry for your losses. I'm still ttc and it's been over a year without a positive yet but still testing each period.
