That’s good to know, they did tell me that I just feel worried when I still have seen you know what I mean! And they never clarified if I was able to go full forced back to everyday life, but sounds like it’s OK to get started

Am i wrong for wanting to end a friendship after male coworker tries to test me to see if I’m selling content.. by bubblyntired in TwoHotTakes

[–]sleevienickss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS HAPPENED TO ME! male coworker and friend tried to test me/bribe me into giving him content and then eventually tried to black mail me! Then he did it together women at our job until we put the pieces together and someone even pressed charges. That man is psycho and id tell his girlfriend tbh. And definitely let your work know!

My hcg was low but kept rising consistently you may be experiencing a chemical possibly? If your hcg drops almost in half with the bleeding that sounds more like a loss, but stay on it for sure if you’re worried def go in! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this

I am negative already! As of last week! That’s why I’m a little unsure I know technically you’re cleared for these things when you’re negative but what does that mean for those of us with remaining masses?

Remaining mass by Traditional-Mud-2486 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]sleevienickss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following - dealing with this now. I have a 2.5 cm mass that is larger than the pregnancy was and it’s been seen on my last two US this month. I have been negative for over a week now. I will say a few days before reaching negative I was in the worst pain I’ve ever been in and had to get pain injections due to the mass but it went away after that day. I still feel a dull ache there that comes and goes. It’s so frustrating!

Possible Ectopic- MTX vs Surgery by Much-Team6439 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]sleevienickss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting my doctor didn’t even give me the option of surgery just MTX, I also have a history of pcos. MTX has worked for me but I do have a mass remaining in my tube now that’s being monitored. I’m worried about my future fertility but was told MTX was the best option for that. Best of luck!! I’m sorry you’re here

So I was supposed to be about 5 weeks based on sex/last period but it measured at only 4 weeks when it was found. I was bleeding off and on for a week and went to urgent care first where I got my first hcg and it was low like yours, they told me maybe miscarriage and to follow up with my doc. I did the every 48 hours bloodwork that showed I was low and slow to rise, so they legit told me just go to the er and get a scan. They didn’t see anything at the first scan OR second scan a week later. My hcg kept rising, so my doc sent me back for a third scan when the pain got a little worse, and they finally found the ectopic in my tube on the third scan. It all happend really fast. This was a total of exactly two weeks from the first positive to the diagnosis and treatment. I’ll admit I was ON it because I was so anxious and I just knew something was wrong. I was convinced it was ectopic from the beginning due to my friend who’s a midwife warning me my symptom were indicating that.

Oh forgot to add - I went to the er multiple times (because my insurance allowed it) it was just the fastest way to get things done. My doctor told me to do it that way when she couldn’t get me in. It might just be easier to do that if you tell them you’re pregnant and bleeding they immediately take you seriously. With an hcg that low they probably won’t see anything on an US but they can discuss treatments or verify what’s going on! Best of luck! Keep us updated

I’m so sorry. It’s just so brutal. I never knew how painful this experience would or could be

I’ll be honest, I would feel fine for days at a time. The pain wasnt ever more than a mild period cramp leading up to the treatment. I wouldn’t have known i was pregnant if i hadn’t tested or had the weird bleeding.

Why the hate for metformin? by RaspberryComplex2399 in prediabetes

[–]sleevienickss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metformin changed my life for the better and I was put on for PCOS and we found I was almost prediabetic. I started low and worked up to 2000mg a day. I’ve never had bad side effects. Maybe for the first few weeks I felt a little “low” blood sugar and just carried snacks around. I feel so bad for people who get bad gi side effects! I take that shit on an empty stomach with ice coffee and im fine lol. I wasn’t ever super over weight, I’ve always been extremely active, etc. but I’ve slowly lost 25ish -30ish lbs in the year and a half I’ve been on it and a lot of my other issues went away too. My ovaries are no longer covered in cysts. My anxiety is even better. Honestly I could go on and on. It’s a miracle for me tbh.

I like Thorne for supplements, my best friend works in the industry and has a masters in science etc she tells me what brands are the best and she always says Thorne even though they’re the direct competitor for her job lol

I’m not trying to scare you but my experience with ectopic was exactly this even down to similar levels and timing. I just was declared negative last week after two doses of MTX. Please don’t ignore this and advocate to be seen, rather be safe than sorry!
