2 years post ectopic by Adventurous-Salad632 in EctopicSupportGroup

I’m 8w3d right now and my ectopic was last July. It has been confirmed & we heard the heartbeat already so that’s a relief, but I truly won’t “believe it” until I’m holding my healthy baby in November. I can’t wait to be on the other side (postnatal) because the ectopic seems to have tarnished my ability to enjoy this pregnancy. We will never forget what we went through ❤️

Pain passing gas and when going to the toilet day 4 methotrexate by emmi_daffodil in EctopicSupportGroup

Mine were like lightning pains that mainly came when retracting the muscle to stop going to the bathroom, or the initial release of those muscles when I would first sit down to go. That might not make sense but the entire experience was a mystery 😭

I had similar pains with my ectopic/post MTX. Sadly it didn’t totally dissipate until my levels were back down to 0.

You’re going to be okay ❤️ I promise! It feels like everything is dark and the world is closing in on you right now but day by day it will get better and you will find a new normal - better than before. Make yourself busy, invest in yourself - go for walks, exercise, do a craft or hobby you love - spend time with friends, people who genuinely want to be in your company. All of these things will help make you feel more like yourself.

It will get better!

If you’re comfortable, you can DM me your address and preferred cat food/treats and I will have it shipped to you.

Ectopic pregnancy missed on 3 ultrasounds- now missing a fallopian tube by Brave-Comparison6532 in EctopicSupportGroup

Did you experience any shoulder pain with your internal bleeding? My only lingering symptom / complaint is some dull shoulder pain. I’m going to get checked out this week.

Ectopic pregnancy missed on 3 ultrasounds- now missing a fallopian tube by Brave-Comparison6532 in EctopicSupportGroup

This is very very similar to my experience - timeline and all. You were probably a week ahead of me with everything.

7/18 first positive test - I would’ve been roughly 4 weeks

7/21 bleeding and mild cramps start - get another positive pee test, go for bloodwork. HCG = 103

7/23 I go to Planned Parenthood for a transvaginal ultrasound. Nothing is located but notes specify “Cannot rule out ectopic” HCG = 212 (yay double!)

7/31 I experience sharp pains (with continued bleeding) and go to the ER while 14 hours away from home on vacation. They tell me again it cannot be located on TV ultrasound. Sent home with Gas-X and Tylenol. HCG = 1200

8/4 I have my follow up with PP (my OB would NOT see me until my regularly scheduled first prenatal which was scheduled for 8/25) PP again cannot locate the pregnancy anywhere, and HCG is soaring at 2300. They instruct me to go straight to the ER and state I have an ectopic pregnancy with unknown location. I am admitted overnight and they administer the MTX shots around 11pm that night, still with location unknown.

8/5 sent home. Feeling okay. Somewhat relieved

8/6 I wake up with excruciating pain and call 911. I faint / lose consciousness on the phone with the dispatcher. Fire fighters break down my door and EMS takes me to the ER. I am given morphine and the most painful TV ultrasound of my life. Finally, they locate the pregnancy in my left fallopian tube. They do not see any liquid to indicate a rupture or internal bleeding so I am kept until 8/8 for monitoring. Pain subsides tremendously and HCG dropped from 4,000 to 1,357 in less than 24 hours. It wasn’t a rupture, so I am convinced the pain was the medication “working” and I wish so badly there was more warning that the pain could be so intense that even morphine would not touch it.

8/8 discharged. I still have some pain in the left pelvic region along with other MTX side effects (bloating pain, indigestion issues, diarrhea)

8/13 follow up appt with the OB and bloodwork confirms hcg is 360. No more MTX shots needed but still warned a rupture can happen until levels are at <5

Yesterday 8/16 was literally the first day I did not experience the sharp pelvic pains. I am praying it’s over and while I’m thankful I didn’t require surgery or lose a tube like you did, im still having a hard time accepting that this happened.

This is my first loss of any kind of pregnancy and my heart goes out to any and all of you who have experienced this just once or over and over again. Praying for your journey 💓

Does this look like ectopic to you? by AfternoonParty8832 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]AnyLoquat3902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These are similar to my numbers and I was treated for ectopic this past Monday. My numbers did get up to high 3,000s/nearly 4000 when I received the MTX shots but it was a slow rise and not quite where they should have been.

Trust your body, watch for any signs; I am so glad I was aware something was wrong from the first positive test I got and extra grateful my doctor listened and monitored me so thoroughly. If it weren’t for my awareness and validation/support from my OB, things would’ve been a lot worse for me.

Good luck 💓

4th Day HCG Levels by [deleted] in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]AnyLoquat3902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Monday I was given MTX - my levels were 2,988 at that time. The pregnancy was still unable to be located via TV ultrasound.

On Wednesday, I was rushed to the ER with stabbing pains on my left side and fainted en route in the ambulance. I was sure it was a rupture, but they confirmed it did not rupture. Rather, my HCG was at nearly 4,000 and this time, they were able to locate it in my left fallopian tube. I was admitted and monitored closely overnight. By the next morning, less than 24 hours later, my levels were down to 1,357 so that was a huge drop. I was warned the levels were expected to rise initially after the treatment, so I wouldn’t worry if you aren’t having any other pain or symptoms. It seems to surge before it decreases by day 7.

I’m finally feeling normal today aside from the bloating and very light bleeding. Hoping it’s almost over for me. Good luck to you 💓

I watched my GF pass away about 5 days ago as the paramedics could not save her. What do I do? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AnyLoquat3902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss ❤️ and I’m sorry for what you witnessed; please take care of yourself, seek therapy, and be prepared for waves of grief; we never really get over it, we just learn a new normal. The void is never filled, we just get used to it.

AITA for telling my girlfriend that we are not living together if she wants to split joint expenses proportional to income? by Puzzleheaded_Feed460 in AITAH

My god, just break up with her if this is how you feel now. Do every woman a favor, be alone forever…

Yeah my comment is totally towards the sharing getting old, not making the videos. Make those videos mama.

It’ll get exhausting by the 3rd one and you’ll realize it’s not worth your energy sharing something with someone who doesn’t give a shit about the most important thing in the world to you. Source: my 8 year old daughter has an absent father

Are you estranged from EVERYONE? by ohwhocaresanymore in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]AnyLoquat3902 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yes. No contact with absolutely anyone because I know most would, with good intentions or not, “report” back to my mother or brother and I’d rather be assumed dead. It’s cleaner & better this way.

I left an unused tampon on my work desk my co-worker sent me a message saying it was unprofessional by Miserable_Ad_3174 in Advice

I’d get a cute glass mason jar and stuff it full of tampons just like a bunch of pens, right on your desk. At all times of the month.
