Ectopic pregnancy question

heatherlynn321

The doctors are going to do an ultrasound tomorrow, but are thinking that I'm having an ectopic pregnancy. Has anyone heard of them successfully moving the egg to the uterus to develop instead of removing it completely? I'm desperate and would love any information or advice you have.

I'm sorry for what you are going through. I've never heard of them being able to relocate the egg. Fingers crossed it's not ectopic.

Sorry you are going through this. Unfortunately I have never heard of them relocating the egg either.

I am very sorry for everything that you are going through. Could you keep all your updates to one thread? The last 10+ posts you have made have all been related to miscarrying and anxiety related to your post last. There are a lot of us who have had a loss in the past that have been getting by with the weekly PGAL check in and you are still welcome to join us there. I don't mean to come across as insensitive, but it's very difficult to see all these posts popping up over and over again. So I would like to ask you kindly please stick to one post from here on. When you have updates, you can edit the title of your thread with "update #" and let us know what's happening.

As for an ectopic pregnancy, I've never heard of it being moved and don't see how that could work either. It's good that they want to at least rule it out, since it can end up being life threatening to you if it the bub gets too big in the wrong place. I hope you get some answers and peace soon.

I have never heard of them moving the embryo to the uterus, I was given a shot to dissolve the pregnancy.  If you wait too long though it can result in the loss of your tube.

I agree with this, I just suffered a loss about 2.5 months ago and seeing the constant updates flood the board is hard for me.  I totally get what you are going through but there are probably certain areas that you could post all of your questions and remain a little more sensitive to others that are still coping with a fresh loss.  The Loss board is amazing, and I am sure that you could ask in the PGAL thread and get some amazing advice.  

Wishing you the best.

I googled it a while ago because a friend of mine went through it. Its not possible to remove the egg from the tube and place it in the uterus. Sadly if it is an ectopic the best option is if they can stop it from destroying your tube by giving the shot and it working to stop the growth. My friend was given the shot and unfortunately it was too late and she ended up losing the tube and ovary on that side. It can become a life threatening situation and its good they are looking at tube as they did not for my friend and just did a d&c which yielded no fetal tissue and the dr somehow didn't think that was concerning... anyway GL with everything that is going on and my thoughts are with you.

I work in surgery and have taken care of many ectopic pregnancy patients, in my experience once you are needing surgery we almost always have to take the tube. Very very rarely they are able to do a tubalasty and save the tube but I can't imagine it would function without fault after scar tissue forms. And no it is impossible to move the egg surgically. Sorry and GL to you.

I received the shot as well. I am sorry for what you are going through, I know it is really difficult. I hope you have better luck with your next pregnancy.
