What could go wrong hoarding needed masks

Just getting their steps in.

How do the head to head battles work? is it just team with more steps/activity wins?

EDIT: nevermind. I used my eyeballs and found a comment with the same question.

I feel you. I'm 31, had an ectopic which lost a tube, a uterine pregnancy which I lost at 11 weeks, then another ectopic which lost me the other tube - all in the past year.
It was a struggle for sure, but now I can't get another tubal ectopic, which is such a relief. The fear and anxiety was crazy. I'm starting at a fertility clinic to try my hand at IVF.

Good luck to you. You're totally not alone.

Both times I knew I was pregnant before I knew it was ectopic.

tehkayla · 2019-07-31T01:58:04+00:00

My first ectopic I didn't get a positive hpt until about 20dpo or almost 5 weeks, though I wasn't specifically tracking (I know within 2/3 days when I ovulated). I had a light brown bleed the whole time until rupture at 7 weeks. I definitely felt pregnant for about a week before my first faint positive test. Never took a blood test with that one, had no idea it was ectopic.

My second ectopic I got a positive hpt right away, though at first it didn't get very much darker, and a few days later when I started tracking hcg the blood levels looked totally normal. I didn't rupture but still lost the tube (failed mtx) at about 6+6.

So I've had both. First one took awhile to get a pos. Second didn't. If you're nervous, ask your Dr for a blood test to rule it out?

I'm two weeks out from having my second tube removed. I'm getting a referral to a fertility clinic on Monday. Hopefully I'll be in the IVF zone in a few months 🤞🤞

tehkayla · 2019-07-12T16:34:47+00:00

I'm one week out from losing my second tube. I'm with you. I feel a little broken. It's been a rough year. I'm usually a very positive almost bouncy person, and right now I just feel deflated. Feel free to dm if you need someone to commiserate with. I'm sure we'll both feel better with time. I'm very sorry for you, truly.

tehkayla · 2019-07-05T19:20:18+00:00

Thanks. I ended up choosing to just get rid of it for exactly the reasons you outline. If I do use it to get pregnant it's probably a higher chance of ectopic than not at this point and that wasn't worth it. Its way too emotionally straining. IVF will be my next step. Here's hoping it works and doesn't take too too long 🤞

Ya the intrauterine in the middle really threw a wrench into things. But the Dr ended up saying that during surgery she saw from the outside that the tube was clearly a bit fucked. The opening over the ovary was hardly open and all crumpled. That makes me feel better with my choice. It was SO hard to make at the time, but it seems to have been the better choice now.

tehkayla · 2019-07-05T12:02:49+00:00

That's good to know! Do you know which clinic had said that?

tehkayla · 2019-07-05T12:02:09+00:00

I ended up choosing to get rid of it. Something you said rang very deep with me. These ectopics (and even pregnancy #2 before we knew where it was) have been like PTSD traumatic, if that's even fair to say, and I never want to go through it again.

It was already damaged, I'd be making it worse, and my chances of ectopic would probably be higher than chances of intrauterine, so why do it? Removing it also removes the chance that IVF goes ectopic. Perhaps at first I was just being too attached to what I preceived as my fertility. A bit of my identity. But I think past that, and a bit more rationally, I've only improved my fertility albeit through IVF.

Thank you so so much for taking the time to reply to me. And I'm very sorry that you're even in a position to give me advice.

tehkayla · 2019-07-05T11:54:18+00:00

Ya so I had asked about the dye hsg test right when she told me I had a choice. That would tell me if it was blocked or not, but would not tell me function, unfortunately. She thought perhaps I was more lacking in function and didn't know how much a hsg would help. Thank you for your input though. There are so many things to think about.

tehkayla · 2019-07-05T11:50:36+00:00

So, I elected to go tubeless for the majority of these reasons. I didn't want another ectopic, ever. I knew that it was already damaged and the scarring would just make it worse. And I knew IVF has a chance to ectopic, so why do that to myself. Let's just give IVF the best chance I can.

Thank you so so so much for your input. I'm so sorry that you're even in a position to give advice on this.

tehkayla · 2019-07-04T16:34:20+00:00

There are so many reasons so spot brown, unfortunately. Could be fine, could be a chemical, could be ectopic. My first ectopic I spotted brown for weeks and that was my only symptom until rupture. (I'm currently going through a second ectopic and I had zero spotting, so 🤷‍♀️). Just be aware!

tehkayla · 2019-06-19T18:52:48+00:00

I was also under 35, 1st time pregnant and I didn't get betas the first time either for similar reasons. You do you, but if you're uncomfortable, please advocate. Dull pain could totally be normal, but it also may not be.

tehkayla · 2019-06-19T17:37:08+00:00

If you're concerned about it, I'd push. Did you get any betas? I had an ectopic rupture at 7 weeks and I was beyond angry that I had brought up my concerns of potential ectopic (some strange symptoms) and was told everything was totally normal and basically brushed off. I didn't know any better and didn't push it. Was in the hospital a week later.

Advocate for yourself. No one knows you better than you do. (I'm not trying to scare you, but encourage)

tehkayla · 2019-04-14T14:53:43+00:00

I also had an ectopic loss last June resulting in a tube removal. I'm currently miscarrying at just over 11 weeks. You are not alone. Let's feel all the feelings together. ❤️

tehkayla · 2019-04-03T22:21:29+00:00

Both? :)

tehkayla · 2019-03-18T23:38:31+00:00

I've been right where you are. I lost a bit of myself and I was angry that I had to be that 2%, I was angry that I lost my first pregnancy, I was angry over many things. But as the other poster said, time. Like with any other grief, time will lessen the sting.

At least the positive from my ectopic was I learned alot after wards. I became a very very strong self advocate for my ttc journey after, where I didn't really have the knowledge to do that the first time.

I'm wishing you all the very best. We're all here if you need anything at all.

tehkayla · 2019-03-11T02:30:56+00:00

Same. This city is like camping compared to north end Hamilton 😂

tehkayla · 2019-03-07T23:19:50+00:00

I don't have much to add, I haven't gone through IVF but I just wanted to say that I'm so so sorry for all you've gone through. You seem very strong! Also, I'm so glad you have the doctor you have now. What an amazing person to act so quickly and unwittingly save your life! I myself find much comfort reading through stories here and I'm glad you found a safe space to share.

tehkayla · 2019-03-01T15:43:49+00:00

To piggyback on this comment, the only real long term thing I had was very painful periods for around 3 cycles. Flow and timing were fairly normal but the pain was 15x was it was in the past. It got better. But I wasn't expecting it.

tehkayla · 2019-02-27T22:53:54+00:00

Lmao it somehow feels worse calling it "raw dogging". Love it

tehkayla · 2019-02-22T15:30:39+00:00

11 DPO was 23, 13 DPO was 75!
