Ectopic and Uterine Pregnancy

I am 4 1/2 weeks pregnant in the uterus and have an ectopic pregnancy on my ovary.  Currently I am bleeding into the ectopic pregnancy and the doctors who discovered this yesterday sent me home to wait three days (Easter weekend) to see if my body will reject the ectopic pregnancy on its own. I am in pain.  I want to keep the uterine pregnancy.  Do you think the doctor's advice is good?  Is it possible to have the ectopic pregnancy removed and preserve the baby in the uterus?  What will need to be done? How do I look into finding the best doctor in the area for this?

Hello, I lost my baby last month and at first they thought it was ectopic. My doctor's were concerned because of the pain I was in. They told me the key word was pain. I was taken to surgery immediately. Once they got in there it wasn't ectopic, my egg was stuck between the uterus and my tube (my uterus sets up high). It is very dangerous for you if it's ectopic. I can't believe that sent you home, as my drs did not want to wait. If it were me I would go to the local ER, they can do an US and tell you more there, my first visit was the ER. Hope this helps. As far as the one in your uterus, I'm not sure but I would think they could save it. Best wishes to you. God bless you and your's. Keep us posted.

Thanks for your suggestions.  I'm hoping since they did 86 shots of my uterus and ovary in ER a couple days ago (where, like yours it was discovered - I thought I was in the middle of miscarriage it hurt so much), they are right.  A doctor filling in for mine discharged me from ER for the weekend.  They told me to expect pain this weekend and gave me medecine although I haven't used it b/c even if it is considered safe for the in-uterus baby, I'd rather not take chances.
How are you coping?  I'm so worried if something happens.  I already have depression and feel like I'm slipping into it already.  I don't know how I'm going to head back to work on Monday but my sick days are almost used for the year.  It hurts so much, I'm really scared for me and the baby and I just don't know if I'm doing the right thing.  I hope the doctors are on top of things but how would I ever know?  I keep thinking if they suspected this in only my third week of pregnancy and confirmed it this week that the doctors probably, hopefully, know what is going on.

I'm not going to lie to you, it's hard, very hard. All I've wanted in life is to be a mommy as I'm sure everyone on this site had the same dreams. I had two miscarriages within 3 months and I believe that made it worse on me. One minute I'll be fine the next I'll be crying my eyes out. Yesterday I would have been 3 months from my second pregnancy. The first pregnancy I would be 6 mos. My first baby was due July 10, my second due October 27. I know when those days come I will be a real mess, but I thank God I have my fiance' in my life. I've taken so much out on him but he is so understanding. I'd die without him. I think bout everything I can't help but think bout Mother's Day. I was so happy in thinking that I would finally get to celebrate this day, but the way I look at it I'm still a mommy. I believe there is life at conception (those that don't believe that thats fine too). I been thinkin bout gettin me a mother's ring with the 2 birthstones, but I don't want people to think I'm crazy. I'm just your everyday average woman who desires to have children and the family I've always dreamed of. I hope all works out for you honest I do. I'm here if you ever want to talk. Take care of yourself and please let me know what happens. Best wishes to you.
