Trouble TTC

Intro and *Siggy warning*

Hey all.  New here.  Had a nightmare ectopic pregnancy this year.  My body tried (but failed) to complete the loss in December 2013.  After two MTX injections I wound up needing emergency surgery for a near rupture weeks later.  I kept the tube, but there is likely scarring now, causing increased chance for it happening again.

A few months have passed and we decided to TTC again.  I took Femara (I'm irregular due to PCOS) and Ovidrel trigger Wednesday night.  This weekend (and especially today) I have sharp pain again on my bad/surgery side.  I am scared it is another ectopic.  It seems way too early to have ectopic pains, but way too late for it to be O pain.  

I would rather have a miss this cycle so we can try again - rather than be re-injected with a chemo drug and have months of recovery.

Re: Intro and *Siggy warning*

  • Welcome.  I'm sorry that you have to be here, but these ladies are great.  Wishing you luck that it wasn't ectopic pain.

  • Sorry you find yourself here, but I hope your stay is short and sweet! As far as your pain, I would think it would be a little early for ectopic pain, too. Did you do IUI after trigger or timed intercourse?

  • **lurking from IF**

    I had an ectopic last year and also kept my tube. That side hurts on and off pretty much throughout my cycle, like pretty sharp shooting pains. The first few months I was constantly worried that it was another ectopic. My RE says it is most likely just scar tissue moving around.
    Me: 30 DH: 30 ~ TTC #1 Since August 2011 
    BFP #1 2/28/13, Ectopic, Tubal surgery 3/25 
    Began RE testing 8/8, Dx Unexplained, 
    IUI #1 11/1=BFN Moving on to IVF 
    IVF #1 12/2 ER 8R 7M 4 fertilized
    12/7 Transferred 2 "perfect" little blasts 12/17 BFN
    New DX= DOR, I fu*kng hate IF
    1/14 Hysteroscopy, new clean uterus!
    IVF #2: bcp, Lupron, follistim 300, menopur 225. 2/21 8R 4M 3F. 3dt of 2 perfect embryos. 1 little penguin 
     3/10 BFFN
    Regrouping. Seeing reproductive immunologist Dr. Kwak Kim 6/10

  • @missmarypoppins thanks for letting me know.  It is reassuring I'm not the only one with this pain.  Just got a call back from my RE, he said pain is normal and could be a follicle filling back up with fluid or pain from the IUI.  I don't care what it is - as long as it's not another ectopic.
  • Welcome!  Sorry you are here but hopefully your stay will be short!
