| rhealene 2/5/2004 | . | Sorry, I ran out of room in the last one. I don't know what to think. If I was pregnant with an ectopic, I would be around 6 weeks??? Would a doctor beable to feel anything at that time? I left the doctor's office with almost none of my questions answer on what was going on with me. All I know is that my uterus has dropped and that he didn't feel any masses?? I know I should have asked more questions when I was there. But I was a little unnerved. I was there by my self, had the pap exam done with only the doctor (no nurse in the room) and was told that I might end up having to get my uterus taken out vaginally. I was alittle overloaded. I could use some advise on what to do next. My lower abdimin is still tender, though not as bad as it has been. Has anyone had thier uterus "drop" before? and if so, was it painful?? Thanks group, Rhealene |
| KellieD 2/5/2004 C1 | rhealene | I don't know all the technical stuff but I can tell you that I know what you're feeling. Personally I don't think at 6 weeks that they wouldn't see an ectopic probably yet. Mine wasn't very visible even at almost 9 weeks. At 6 weeks they only saw a sac on u/s IN my uterus - then the next week it just looked like fragments..but my numbers were still rising. As far as your uterus goes...i've been pregnant a gazillion times it feels like and i've had three healthy births..and my uterus feels like it's going to fall out of me. It is painful a LOT when we have sex but i just attribute it to that because everything else has checked out normal...i hope this helps at all. |
| Vickielyn 2/5/2004 C2 | NEED ADVISE ASAP!!! | PLEASE HELP WITH OFFICE CONFLICT.... A coworker told us today that last night she and her husband had sex and used a condom. Well, afterwards, she got the condom and tried to put it back in her to get the sperm because she really wants to get pregnant, but her hubby is not sure he wants a baby at this time (thats another story).... She says that after she got the sperm out of the condom and pushed as much of it as she could into her she laid on her back for about 20 minutes. Anyway, she wanted to know what are the chances of her conceiving that way. I say slim to none and others say there is a possibility. Please help with this conflict. I know this sounds disgusting, I mean imagine trying to get some sperm into you by inserting a condom full of it and then to do this behind your hubby's back - I say she is asking for trouble - others say a baby might change his mind..Anyway any info or input would be greatly appreciated. I told the crew here that I use this site often for advise and you guys are a pretty well informed group - so I am anxious to hear what your input is.... Thanks, Vickielyn |
| IWantToBeAMom 2/5/2004 C3 | Vickie | No offense, but this doesn't really seem like it's any of your business. Maybe you should consider just staying out of it. But to answer your question - Depending on the type of condom her chances might not be that slim. She'd also have to know when she was ovulating and get the timing correct. However, if the condom is the kind that comes lubricated with spermicide then her chances are diminished. |
| AndiJ78 2/5/2004 C4 | Vickielyn | There is a pretty good chance the condom had spermicide in it, so the point may be moot. I will avoid jumping in on this only to say that is a major breech of trust on her part. It is possible if it was done immediately following in theory. Andrea |
| KellieD 2/5/2004 C5 | Vickielyn | I personally think that is really scary that someone would do that to someone they say they love. I wanted to try one more time SO bad after my last ectopic, but my hubby was INSISTENT that he was done trying. Even my doctor told me that if we BOTH didn't WANT to try then we shouldn't. I don't mean to sound harsh towards the girl, but that is a VERY serious issue and is COMPLETELY negating ANY trustworthiness on her part..in my opinion NO trust equals NO marriage. I'm sorry to sound harsh..I just feel sorry for the guy if she does succeed. I don't beleive a baby brings people closer together if ther'es problems in the relationship to begin with. My humble opinion =) |
| IWantToBeAMom 2/5/2004 C6 | KellieD | YOU SAID IT!! I totally agree! |
| silo 2/5/2004 C7 | Vickie | I think that is absolutely the creepiest thing I've ever heard; but, it's not the only time I've heard of that happening. My sister works with a girl that knew someone that did that. She had sex with a guy that she was just dating and as soon as he threw away the condom and fell asleep, she went and got it out of the trash can and did that. She got pregnant and I don't know what happened after that. Isn't that sick? I think that your co-worker's husband should know about that...I wouldn't want to be the one to tell him though. What a bad deal. |
| Vickielyn 2/5/2004 C8 | Iwanttobeamommy, AndiJ78, KelliD, Silo, etc... | You all are absolutely right and I totally agree. I also gave my coworker this advice, that she really needs to sit down with her husband and tell him how bad she wants a baby instead of agreeing with him that they should wait, but to go behind his back and do what she did was totally wrong. She doesn't seem to feel that this is wrong, and she has asked the advice of several of us here at work, and we have all with the exception of one said the same thing - she violated the trust in her marriage by doing what she did. Anyway, thanks for your advice and input. I have decided to let this matter go because it makes me kind of angry when you have couples that are really trying to conceive and then you have someone who takes it so lightly that she would go do something so gross and deceptive to get pregnant. Once again, thanks for the input.... Vickielyn |
| rhealene 2/5/2004 C9 | anyone who knows about enlarged uterus size in unp | Hi again, I was just thinking about my doctor's appointment, and I remember him saying my uterus size was 8 weeks?? If I'm not pregnant, why would my uterus be that size. From looking online, it says that 8 weeks is 2 times the size of a normal uterus, and that an "8 week uterus is an enlarged uterus" What else can cause an enlarged uterus? Could an ectopic cause that? Thanks again, Rhealene |
| hopeinal 2/5/2004 C10 | . | i feel sorry for this poor guy.. she will be manipulating him for the rest of his life if he doens't catch on...too bad no one will tell him about her... she sounds like bad news and she surely can't be trusted... and if she's pregnant.. boy is he going to be surprised!!Hope |
| KellieD 2/5/2004 C11 | rhealene | w/ my ectopic my uterus was enlarged too...just right the size it should be corresponding w/ my pregnancy dates =( |
| hopeinal 2/5/2004 C12 | rhealene | I guess the first thing that bothers me is that he examined you with no nurse present... that is big no-no..and i find it very alarming to be honest.. also i cn'at beleive he so flipantly told you your uterus would have to be removed..that is a major deal. before you make any choices that could change your life.. ihope that you will get another opinion. A GOOD doctor will not mind a 2nd opinion and most even welcome them... god bless. HOpe one more thing... it helps me to write down any questions i have before i go to the doctor,because i just seem to forget them if I don't! |
| childatheart 2/5/2004 C13 | . | My ectopic was diagnosed practically because I went for a yearly check up and she saw that my uterus was enlarged. Then after a week or so of tests it was confirmed. |
| blondie72 2/6/2004 C14 | Vickie | I would tell your co-worker if she really loves this person not to do this again if she does not become pg. First off he knows he used a condem. If she gets pg he will question it and could possibly leave her and if she tells him the truth I fear the same thing would happen so I think this relationship may now be doomed either way. Thanks for hearing my 2 cents. | [Thread closed to new comments] |
