It's ectopic

Well ladies, it seems that i just went from the happiest news of my life BFP to one of the worst news ever. My beta HCG level is 50 and I'm at 4 weeks already, so I will be going for another blood test today to confirm what we all expect: an ectopic pregnancy (my second) in my left tube (the one that we thought was healthy!).

I'm sad but mostly NUMB. I guess I'm not surprised, I've had sharp pains since the beginning.

Anyways, I'm out of the game. I will have both my tubes removed because I want to increase my chances in a future IVF or at least lessen the chances of having another ectopic.

Good luck ladies with your quest for a baby! Don't give up!

I am so sorry to read about the ectopic.  My thoughts are with you.

And, you, too Don't give up!  I have a feeling there is an egg just waiting to be the one!!!

isablelleCanada: I am praying for you. I know this is even harder to deal with than a plain BFN.  My heart goes to you. I am sorry this is happening.  hugs to you

i'm so sorry.  is there no alternative to save the tube?

I just came back from the hospital. Apparently, my beta HCG is now 19, which means that this pregnancy has terminated itself and that I'm not pregnant. No treatment needed. In fact, the radiologist said that tshe saw no evidence of an ectopic, no mass, nothing out of the ordinary. So I am a little encouraged that this was some kind of chemical pregnancy, that I can get pregnant and that my tubes are not to blame (this time). My gynecologist says that this should not discourage me, that it proves that I CAN GET PREGNANT DAMMIT!

I wonder if the Clomid has anything to do with this...

Oh well, I'm back in business ladies! My husband and I are eagerly waiting for AF to come to start another round of Clomid...

thanks for all your kind words girls... you guys keep me sane!
Baby dust to all of us...

You will be in my prayers daily, that everything goes well and you'll get thru this.

Whew! I am glad it wasn't ectopic. I know a couple of women that have had more than one ectopic. But, the odds are after you've had one, you aren't likely to ever have another. There's always exceptions to every rule though. I hope round 2 is the last round you have to do :)

well, that news is better than it could have been!  take it easy this weekend and start again!  you're in my thoughts.

i am so scared now! i have been reading your story, and have a similar situation. i had an ectopic about six months ago, and have been on a couple of rounds of clomid. im not pregnant yet, but hopefully it will happen soon.  does clomid cause m/c ?   we have been ttc for over 3 years.  the first ectopic was so devistating. it ruptured and my left tube was removed.  i am so scared something will happen again if i do finally get pregnant.    i am so sorry for your loss. i can imagine how you must feel right now. however,  i am glad for you that it wasnt ectopic.you still have one good tube, and therefore still a good chance at getting pregnant successfully. dont give up. it will happen.    i wish you the best of luck..keep us posted.

hi i on clomid too have been a while and i had a m.c at 6 wks. we have been trying for 3yrs now. the dr says at least i can get preg. so looks like hope for us. hard as it it... wishing you the best.

Thanks for your kind words... it really makes me feel better to know that I am not alone living through these challenges.
I plan on another round of Clomid, this time days 3-7. I will also go to the accupuncture again because I know she helps a lot.
I'm now waiting for AF to show her ugly face (I've never been so eager to see her!)

baby dust to everyone...

I'm so sorry for what you are going through but I'm also glad it was not an ectopic.
I had one last year and it was horrible.
The good news is that this failed pregnancy tells you and your dr that you can get pregnant in the uterus!!
I'm sending you tond of baby dust!!!
