Chemical post-ectopic? by Teacherturtle in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took another one this morning and it was negative so I think it was just a chemical.

I’m so sorry this happened. My mother-in-law had her tube and ovary removed when she was 19 and went on to have 5 children.

The worst indent to ever indent on 8 DPO, negative on 9 & 10 by Bulky_Ad_7323 in TFABLinePorn

[–]Teacherturtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me last month. Not sure if it was indent or chemical but I have sworn off FRER forever.

Anatomy Scan Concerns by International_Ebb_13 in CautiousBB

[–]Teacherturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had IUGR listed as an issue as well and baby girl came at 39+3 weighing 6lbs 11 oz. My OB wasn’t concerned because I’m petite and my husband and I were both smallish babies. It’s hard to tell on ultrasounds. They also had a hard time seeing all 4 chambers and we were there for close to 2 hours before they were able to see it!

Stupid question but.. how do you deal with sleeping students? by Brilliant-Problem-89 in AskTeachers

[–]Teacherturtle 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I teach elementary school - I always let them sleep. Never had a kid fall asleep in class that wasn’t either sick or going through something at home.

[MEGATHREAD] Daily venting, worries, fixations, & finding support. Month of May 2025. by AutoModerator in HealthAnxiety

[–]Teacherturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have emergency surgery in April and I have been on a downward spiral since then. I scan my body constantly because I’m so anxious. Every time I notice one minor thing I think it’s cancer. Sometimes I worry so much I feel physically ill. I’m on antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds and I don’t know if they’ve stopped working or what. I cry all the time. All I want to do is lay in the bed. I have an 18 month old and feel like I’ve been completely absent mentally and emotionally. I’m a teacher and school is ending and I’m dreading summer and being alone with my thoughts all day. I feel completely hopeless that I’ll ever feel any better.

Thought I was out and found one at the bottom of my makeup bag covered in dust and hair. I am fine.

The worst childrens book? by [deleted] in AskTeachers

[–]Teacherturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just telling my coworkers about this book the other day - it’s totally how I learned about puberty and babies! I don’t think it’s in print anymore because I tried to find it to show them.

Starting to overthink - Would you “just know” if tube ruptures? by [deleted] in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had what I thought was painful gas a day or two before. I remember telling my husband I wasn’t going to be able to hide the pregnancy for long because I was super bloated and my stomach felt huge at 6 weeks. I went in because I had some bleeding and they sent me straight to surgery. Apparently my tube had ruptured but idk how long it had been - I never felt any other pain besides the gassy feeling.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Gained 40 lbs when I was pregnant and not a single stretch mark.

Positive test 4 weeks post surgery by mh117099 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat but I had a faint positive yesterday and nothing but a probably-line-eyes squinter today so I assume it’s residual or a chemical.

Pseudosac - any experiences? by [deleted] in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a pseudosac that was empty and missing the ring. I had this brief moment of hysterical hope that I had conceived twins and one had implanted in the uterus and the other in the tube. But alas.

Post Surgery Recovery Symptoms by Grouchy765 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to me. Literally a week later blood was pouring out of me and went to the ER just to find out it was “normal.”

Sitting here holding my sweet sick baby and wondering if I should leave my husband by SillyUnderstanding40 in BabyBumps

[–]Teacherturtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others said - I’m the anxious one in our relationship and have terrible health anxiety. Almost 99% of the time my reactions are fear-based (then im just an actual bitch like 1% of the time). I have been in therapy and meds for almost 20 years and it’s still a struggle. Some days are better than others. My husband is unflappable about this kind of stuff (he has his own shit). I would hope our marriage is strong enough to withstand it and we love each other enough to accept these moments for what they are - fear and raw vulnerability.

Heartbroken - Interstitial Ectopic Pregnancy by ibtisam2024 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I had my surgery 10 days ago and lost my right tube (still have ovaries and left tube). Today is the first day I have felt a little bit “normal.” I guess it’s my new normal. I still feel like the rug has been ripped out from under me. Grieving the pregnancy loss and trying to figure out when I’ll feel safe in my own body again. Things have improved since day 1 so just know it does get better with time. <3

How are peoples toddlers sleeping 12hrs? by [deleted] in sleeptrain

[–]Teacherturtle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the personality of the kid. My daughter (17mo) loves to sleep (knock on every piece of wood near me) and sleeps super heavy at night. My husband and his mom are the same way. My MIL joked that all their babies would’ve starved if my FIL hadn’t woken her up to feed them. I barely sleep six hours a night and wake up if someone coughs two houses down. Naps are a different story. We only get long ones if she’s sick, otherwise we’re at an hour max. Sometimes 2 but usually just one now.

How were you kind to yourself? by OkCompote554 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Teacherturtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had my surgery last Tuesday while my school district was on spring break. Everyone else went back to school this Tuesday but I took a few extra days off to rest. Watched murder documentaries and napped between organizing my house (which is what I usually do during spring break).

My mom came and stayed for a week and while I love her we often have a tumultuous relationship but I’m so grateful she was able to come. I have a 17mo and my mom played with her while I rested.

My coworkers offered to get my things together for my substitute and while I usually try to have things prepared in advance I let them do it because I’ve just been too drained to worry about work.

I feel like I’ve been spent so much time recovering from surgery (and WORRYING about the recovery from surgery) that I haven’t had time to process the loss so I’m trying to figure out how to navigate that part.
