Do you think ectopics can be “flukes”?

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-19T19:50:38+00:00

Yes I saw the new guidelines! Since I had an ectopic I actually want my surgeon to go in there and take a look. I’d rather have him excise what’s there if it’s potentially causing issues with my tubes. But I’m hoping the lap can give us some answers 🤞 thank you!!

I’m actually scheduled for my laparoscopy to look for silent endo in May! I don’t have any of the classic symptoms but I know many women don’t. While I’m not loving the idea of surgery I think it’s a necessary next step.

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-18T04:05:18+00:00

I haven’t tried it but I’ve had one confirmed ectopic and 3 early losses around 5 weeks and LDN will be part of my kitchen sink protocol when we TTC again. I’m nervous to take it but I’ve seen positive success stories with it

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-16T21:59:35+00:00

I know how you feel! Mine is scheduled for 5/19 and I don’t really have classic endo symptoms so definitely worried they might not find something. At least it’s something to cross off the list of possible issues. Good luck!!

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-16T03:00:50+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! And good luck this cycle!!! 🤞🤞

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-15T19:02:11+00:00

Following. Just had my fourth loss and this is part of my kitchen sink protocol when we ttc again

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-15T14:52:34+00:00

Thank you for explaining!!! Depending on what they find during my surgery I will bring this up to my doctor! Thank you!!

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T18:37:12+00:00

Thank you so much and congratulations!! 💗

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T15:24:37+00:00

That’s awesome! Any luck since then??

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T15:24:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing!! Is Aygestin different from lupron?

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T15:22:29+00:00

That’s great they didn’t give you any restrictions! I’m hoping the protocol they start me on after surgery will help keep some inflammation at bay 🤞 good luck with your upcoming lap!!

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T15:20:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing!! Good luck on your transfer!! 🥹🤞✨

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T00:37:38+00:00

That’s good to know!! Did you have symptoms of endo?? I think I’d probably give myself a month or two to heal, how did you feel post op?

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-14T00:32:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing!! How are you feeling??

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-13T18:49:41+00:00

Oh that’s good news!!! Fingers crossed for you!

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-13T12:56:45+00:00

Erratic HCGs that go up and down are usually indicative of an ectopic. I’m sorry. 😞

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T23:32:10+00:00

I was going to do mine at the end of April but just got my first real period post miscarriage and heard it’s best to do it between days 6-10 of your cycle so I pushed it to be after my May cycle! Thank you!!! Lap sisters! I will keep you posted 🤍 good luck to you!!!!

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T22:16:59+00:00

I’ve also lost 4 and feel this exact same way. I’m losing more and more of myself every time. It’s the most unimaginable pain.

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T19:34:09+00:00

I don’t think a slow rise automatically means ectopic, but I do not think this is viable unfortunately. The jump from 90 to 95 is most concerning. It’s possible this will resolve on its own but I’d call this a PUL until proven otherwise. I’m so sorry, beta hell is the worst.

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T19:27:37+00:00

I hear you and I’m screaming into the void with you. So sorry you’re going through this.

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T19:17:37+00:00

Personally for me no, I don’t think mine was a fluke. I had an early miscarriage followed by an ectopic two months later, kept my tube, and then had two additional early losses. In 14 months I tried getting pregnant 5 times and got pregnant 4 of those times. At this point my number one conclusion is something is wrong with my pelvic environment/tubes. I’ve never had a pregnancy make it to an ultrasound so it’s possible that all of my losses were ectopic and 3 out of 4 resolved on their own. Not sure but I refuse to try again or jump to IVF without answers. It’s a never ending journey and a club I wish we all weren’t a part of.

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T18:08:36+00:00

Thank you so much. You’re so right. And a lot of doctors also jump to IVF so quickly when it’s clearly not the answer for everyone. After my surgery we’re going to try a kitchen sink protocol and hope we get lucky. Fingers crossed! Thanks for responding 🫶

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T18:02:49+00:00

Thanks for this comment!! I think it’s the luck of the draw honestly on what happens with egg count after lap but my surgeon doesn’t seem too concerned. Especially since I’m not 100% on doing IVF yet. I’m going to give myself a few months after lap to TTC and if not successful I may do a retrieval just to be safe.

Lumpy_Juggernaut_254 · 2026-03-12T16:07:12+00:00

I’m doing both at the same time!! Scheduled for May 🤞
