TTC After a Loss

Intro

Hi Everyone- Just wanted to introduce myself...My name is Cassie, I had an ectopic pregnancy about 3 weeks ago and ended up losing my right tube. It was such a shock and all happened so quickly I am still trying to process what happened. The Dr said we can start TTC after my period returns but I am not sure that we will start right away...

Has anyone else dealt with an ectopic pregnancy?

 Look forward to getting to know all of you :)

Re: Intro

  • I had an ectopic pregnancy in August and also lost my right tube. We had to wait three cycles before trying again. Did you have lap or traditional surgery? Did your dr recommend the hsg test before trying to make sure your other tube is clear?

  • I had a lap procedure, she didnt mention anything about an hsg test. She said if I get a BFP to call right away so she can do an ultrasound...I am sure we will be waiting at least 3 months, I dont think I am going to be ready before then.

  • I haven't dealt with an ectopic pregnancy but I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your loss. If your doctor said that you can start TTC after your period, but you don't feel ready, take all the time you need to heal emotionally. ((Hugs))

    I would bring up the test and ask if it would be possible to do. Once I lost my tube, I did not want to go through that again. So sorry you're going through this!

  • Cassie ... I am sorry that you find yourself on this board and for the loss of your baby. I hope you are recovering well from the surgery and beginning to feel like yourself again.

    I was cleared to start trying right away, but we have decided to wait a few months just to give ourselves time to recover from our first loss. Everyone is different, and you will know when the time is right to try again.

    I hope you find all the support you need here!

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

  • Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it....

    It is nice to have an outlet because very few people know about what happened.
