Question
Hi
I am new to the forum. I always read it though so I am hoping to get some good advice. I am 30 years old and have always had a 28 day cycle. Last October my husband and I got pregnant and at 5 weeks I had a miscarriage. The doctor told me I would miscarry naturally which I did. I started right back on my 28 day cycle. 3 months later in March we tried again and got pregnant immediately. Once again at 5 weeks I started bleeding and this time had an ectopic pregnancy. I had my right fallopian tube removed. Now I have not had a normal cycle since. At first I was starting my period around 32 days (which I can deal with) I am not out to almost 45 days and my periods are lasting 10 and 11 days which is really very unusual for me. This past month I was so late I took 11 HPT and finally went to the doctor who took blood and did an ultrasound just to be sure I didn't have another ectopic. Everything came out ok. He gave me Provera to take to start my period. I ended up not taking it and started 3 days later. Spotted on and off for 4 days then finally started so now I have been bleeding for 9 days straight. I am quite terrified to be honest. I did call the doctor today because I was feeling faint. I can't tell if I actually feel faint or if I am just extremely anxious. He suggested taking motrin to slwo down the bleeding but that hasn't helped. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced anything like this after having the types of losses I have had? Also I am wondering if this is really going to decrease my chance of concieving even more so than having just one tube. Thanks for your time!

Hello. My sister inlaw got pregnant last may it end in an ectopic june(loss a tube), she then got a period in july,got pregnant again in aug m/c in sept. and then got pregnant again in nov. she now has a healthy 4month old.
Gosh, I am so sorry for all of the heartache and problems you are having. I know a few posters have only one tube and are pregnant. In fact, I think I read when one is removed the other ovary makes up for the lost one. With the long periods and other problems, I am surprised they haven't suggested a d&c. I also have read after you have had an ectopic, your chances of having another are very slim. Sorry I can't help more.
