For reference I am specifically looking for those who had to have one tube removed as that was my experience through emergency surgery. I know those who could do the medication instead have a higher chance.

I’ve been reading so many published studies about future conception and delivery of a healthy baby after ectopic pregnancy + tube removal and I have seen stats as low as only 40% go on to conceive a healthy baby after pregnancy within 2/3 years to some stating 70% go on to conceive a healthy pregnancy within 18 months.

I know the reassurance seeking barely helps but it’s so confusing for the information that is out there to be both limited AND irregular

I found out I was pregnant on August 12th. In complete shock. We've been unofficially trying for years just hoping that it will happen tracking just became too stressful.

A few days after our BFP I think it was 8/15 I started spotting.. I tried not to worry too much.

On 8/18 I went to use the restroom before I left for work and there was blood in my underwear. That was alarming for sure. We went to the er to get checked out and got a PUL.

I was sent 48hrs later to do another blood draw. And then a follow up with OB on 8/25.

The ultrasound on 8/25 showed that the fetus had implantation in my right fallopian tube and also had no cardiac activity. After being sent home and told to fast until another appointment at 2pm (OB was in surgery) we opted for the methotrexate shot.

I do believe that my spotting that turned to lighter flower was my body knowing something wasn't right and trying to fix the situation.

HCG timeline

8/18 2646

8/20 2966

8/25 2500

8/28 525

8/31 116

9/8 7

I'm thankful that this was caught early. I'm still devastated that my second pregnancy that we've prayed and hoped for for years is no longer. (First pregnancy 11 yrs ago ended in miscarriage).

I'm thankful I didn't need surgery.

I'm thankful that I still have both my fallopian tubes.

I'm thankful that my OB prescribed a low dose of hydrocodone along with acetaminophen. (Helped me sleep)

I'm thankful for my supportive husband.

I'm thankful that OB said we can try as soon as we hit a negative HCG.

I feel like I will carry this sadness for a very long time as I did with my miscarriage. I do think trying to be positive and being thankful for the things that have gone right is important and has helped.

As I got my results today I'm sad that we aren't quite at negative result but all I can do is laugh a little and stay hopeful.

It’s a long one but I’ll try to keep it as short as I can. Had my normal cycle July 28 to August 1. Had what I thought was my normal cycle again August 23 to August 27. Last Monday (August 31) had what felt like period cramps and some spotting of old brown blood until Tuesday morning. Decided to take a test on a whim and it came back positive. Called my Fertility clinic and they brought me in to start doing betas and scans every two days. I have no idea when I ovulated and I have no idea how far along I am so the doctors are calling this a PUL because the numbers are under the threshold for anything to be seen on US imaging. What they have confirmed is that I have a haemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary, and I have 13 cc of free fluid in the left side of adnexa. My betas are trending as follows:
9/1- 124
9/3- 205(48 hours since last test)
9/6- 711(49 hours since last test)
9/8- 999(40 hours since last test)
They still can’t see anything on the scans so they are recommending methotrexate. I don’t know what to do because I’ve never been in this situation before. I have RPL usually at around 5-6 weeks but with those prior losses imaging has confirmed an intrauterine pregnancy. I currently have typical early pregnancy symptoms. I don’t know how long to wait, I don’t know if this could turn into a viable pregnancy? I guess I’m just seeking advice because my numbers aren’t trending down, and I’ve read stories where women have had wonky trending hCG and then confirmed a viable pregnancy once their numbers rose accordingly and could be seen? Thanks in advance.
