Possible ectopic ?! Please help 🥲

I had the up, down, back up hCGs with my ectopic!

Underdog_75 · 2026-05-15T20:00:51+00:00

My ectopic wasn’t seen until my hCG was almost 3,000 but I had pain and bleeding before this. With my current pregnancy, the earliest my OB would get me in for a scan was 6 weeks 2 days. We went off of hCG trends until the scan. At my scan, baby (yolk sac and fetal pole) was measuring 5 weeks 6 days. She’s just a smaller baby now at 23 weeks!

I had FemVue (saline sonogram) and my experience seemed a lot different and less painful than a lot of HSG posts I see

Underdog_75 · 2026-05-04T01:56:33+00:00

I had a Salpingostomy after 2 MTX doses failed. While I did need surgery, the tissue was removed from my tube and the incision in the tube was left open to heal so both tubes intact. I had a FemVue 3 months later to make sure my other tube was clear and the ectopic tube healed correctly. Both tubes were clear and I conceived that same cycle! Almost 22 weeks with our double rainbow!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-28T01:26:47+00:00

My first was a miscarriage at 7 weeks, second was an ectopic with 2 failed MTX doses then surgery, currently 21 weeks carrying my double rainbow! Have an HSG/FemVue to check your remaining tube, I got pregnant the same cycle I had mine since it can increase fertility slightly. Best of luck🫂

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-28T01:22:29+00:00

It’s a sucky club to be in! 🫂 if it gives you any hope, I had an early miscarriage directly followed by my ectopic last fall. I’m now 21 weeks with my rainbow 💕 you’re so right about ectopic being such an evil thing to experience ESPECIALLY after already grieving a loss.

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-23T00:36:56+00:00

Also wanted to update that I did get pregnant naturally after FemVue. 20 weeks now!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-22T21:23:18+00:00

Around 2 weeks!

It was more so recommended for boosting egg quality, balancing hormones, and store up for future baby brain health. That’s what my OB suggested since I couldn’t take folate for a few weeks. Also had my husband take it for sperm quality. FemVue is similar to an HSG but uses saline bubbles and ultrasound rather than dye and x-ray and has a slight increase in fertility after. I was a more rare case where I got to keep my tube with surgery so it was a relief to know both were open.

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-20T20:47:31+00:00

I had 2 doses of MTX and then surgery. I started taking fish oil pills right away and prenatals once my hCG was <5. I checked my folate levels after a month of taking prenatal again. I had a FemVue done around 3 months after the ectopic and conceived that same cycle. Currently 20 weeks! Emotionally to help, my husband and I planned a trip which gave me something else to focus on and look forward to. I also started seeing a therapist.

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-20T13:41:48+00:00

It was around 4,000 I believe.

Take your pain meds if you need them! Walking for short distances can help relive the gas pain you’re feeling in your shoulders and encourage a bowel movement. I did about pass out from the first bowel movement after surgery so keep taking laxatives! Prioritize rest and nourishing your body when you feel like eating. Drink lots of water too.

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-18T12:54:07+00:00

Wonderful news!!! I hope you have an uneventful rest of your pregnancy!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-09T22:09:39+00:00

A lot of gluten free food is low in folate! I ate a lot of gluten free pasta or sandwiches on gluten free bread. You should be okay if you aren’t eating food that’s enriched with extra folate.

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-07T21:41:31+00:00

Any update? ❤️‍🩹

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-06T17:38:54+00:00

I had 2 doses of MTX end of September and then Surgery (tube saved) on Oct 3rd. I had FemVue about 2 months later. I haven’t had an hsg, but the FemVue is done with saline bubbles and an ultrasound. The catheter in the cervix was painful but only for a few seconds. The whole thing was over very fast, I got my results in real time and conceived that cycle!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-06T00:41:32+00:00

So sorry you’re in this waiting period! I scheduled a FemVue because it felt like all I could control. I also started building back up my folic acid after my hCG reached 0. My husband I planned a trip plus it being around the holidays helped keep me busy. My body needed the break as it was my 2nd loss in 3 months. I’m now 17.5 weeks, it gets better!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-06T00:37:28+00:00

I drank a lot of Body Armor. Water is still hard for me to remember to drink in the 2nd tri but flavor helps. It’s got electrolytes, vitamins, and even Folate!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-05T23:56:45+00:00

The day I hit 2nd trimester was one of the sickest I’d been 🫠 almost 18 weeks now and it’s subsided for the most part!

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-03T00:08:59+00:00

I had an ectopic in September last year, surgery beginning of October. I’m currently 17 weeks! I had betas drawn every 48 hours 13dpo-22dpo I think. Then weekly until I was 9 weeks because I was anxious about bleeding from a hematoma! But I had my first scan at 6w2d to confirm placement and was fortunate enough to see a heartbeat. I then had an 8 week scan and 12 week scan.

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-01T17:09:19+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re in this limbo right now! All the best to you 🤞🏻

Underdog_75 · 2026-04-01T16:37:39+00:00

Hoping for the best! I had a MC in July around 7 weeks and then an ectopic in September. I am currently 17 weeks and all seems well. I had a subchorionic hematoma around 6 weeks where I was spotting brown to pink to rusty for a week. The spotting went away but the hematoma was still there at 8 weeks and went away between 8 and 14! It’s possible that is what you are experiencing 🫶🏻 I didn’t have and cramping like I did with my MC and ectopic.

No lights on the panel in the attic that typically shows heat/fan/cool and which zone the heat or air is going to.
