Could I have a healthy pregnancy or ectopic?

[stites]

I had ectopic pregnancy surgery right at 4 weeks ago.  My husband and I started having sex again about 3 days later.  I had ectopic also 3 months ago.  This time they took out the entire right tube.  A couple of weeks ago I started having sharp pains shooting through my left tube area to the point that I had to stop what I was doing until they went away.  The past few days I've had really bad nausea and my breasts are more tender than ever.  I'm also pretty tired and get mild shortness of breath at times.  I have bad constipation right now too.  Lots of pressure in my abdomen.  I took a pregnancy test last night and it was very positive.  More so than before my surgery.  Then it was a little faded. When I had my surgery, they did the wrong lab test and didn't draw a Beta Hcg.  I have it drawn for the first time tomorrow.  My doc thinks I have a healthy pregnancy because of the symptoms.  But I'm worried because I'm still hurting in my left tube area.  Today it's been an almost constant throbbing pain.  Kinda like last time.  I'm 27 and don't have kids yet.  We've been trying for 3 years.  I've been taking Clomid for fertility.  I'm very concerned!  Should I be checked for an ectopic??  I don't want it to rupture.  Also, the past week I've had excessive thirst.  I can't seem to make my thirst go away.  I've had NO bleeding yet.  My period is 2 months late.

Guess what??!!  My Hcg level was 121,370!  The doc called me to his office after the results.  He was stumped and said this just doesn't seem right.  He didn't know why the number was so high.  I told him my suspicion.  He said he didn't want me to get my hopes up too far.  So right away he did a vaginal ultrasound.  He said, "Well, I'll be!"  There was a healthy baby in my uterus!  I'm 8 weeks and 1 day pregnant!  There was a very strong heartbeat and the baby was already moving a little.  Remember, I had an ectopic only 4 weeks ago?  That ectopic was the twin to the current baby.  I would've had twins!!  I am a twin myself.  They didn't see this one during surgery or the first ultrasound because it was so soon.  I'm due July 1st!  The doc said that he has never seen this in his entire career.  Twins with one being ectopic and the other making it, especially "under the radar."  He said it was a miracle.  I'm believing God did something miraculous.  Before we even got married 5 years ago we had already picked out baby names just for fun.  Matthew for a boy and Mikayla for a girl.  Both mean "miracle from God."  I'm on cloud nine right now.  Been trying for 3 years.  Thank you God!

you certainly should be check for eptopic again,your dr should have done this as soon as you told him you are pregnant again,especially with your history.i had an eptopic back in nov 06 dissoved naturally but have blocked tube.YOU MUST GET CHECKED fingers crossed all ok,let us know,,,

I work at the hospital where my doctor's office is tomorrow.  I work in the ICU as an EMT.  If the pain I'm having now persists through tomorrow I will have it checked out.  You're right, I don't want to lose my only good tube.  I can't afford IVF.  During my first ectopic in June it was caught early enough that they just drained it and let it grow back together.  That ended up probably causing scar tissue and blocking the tube that cause the ectopic 4 weeks ago.  The doc said that my left tube looked good during surgery.  But he said he can't see what it looks like on the inside.  It being in the same area as the other tube makes it a high risk for another ectopic.  I just have this feeling because of the pain in my left tube area lasting the past couple of weeks.  Last time I shrugged it off as gas and it ended up being an ectopic that was within days of rupturing.

it is better to get checked for ectopic then to have it rupture! you would lose your only tube left! i had an ectopic a month ago as , if it feels the same, go in!   i hope the baby is ok, but if its ectopic, they can disolve the pregnancy before it ruptures and save your tube for future pregnancies! i hope your ok, but i think you should go in for peace of mind.  good luck to you, please keep us informed.
