Trouble TTC

Intro (losses mentioned)

Hi everyone. Me and DH have lost two previous pregnancies...one at 6 wk and one at 10 wk because of hormone issues. We got a BFP last Monday and found out yesterday that it was ectopic and I had an emergency surgery because I was bleeding into my abdomen. I have lost my right Fallopian tube. It took us 18 months and 7 rounds of clomid to have this pregnancy and I'm feeling pretty defeated right now. We have decided to try again once I am able since it took so long this time but I don't know how many losses I can take :(

Re: Intro (losses mentioned)

  • I'm so sorry for your losses.

    Welcome to 3t. I wish you the best in TTC again. Are you working with a RE? if so, they will probably start some testing to look into the cause of the losses and to help you with only one tube. If you're with an OB I would recommend greatly seeing a RE. I'm sorry you have to be here but I hope you get some answers soon.

  • I am not working with an RE yet. We are a military family and trying to get a referral is ridiculous. Thank you for the well wishes.

    I'm sorry about the referral process. There are some women on here who might have some helpful ideas for you too, as more people read your intro they might be able to help!

  • I'm Prime but am seeing a civilian OB/GYN. I have talked to women's health and they have to me to keep seeing my current doctor. I'm not sure who I need to talk to now.
  • I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope you find comfort in the knowledge of the ladies on this board. I don't have Tricare, but my brother was military, and I do medical billing....it's the worst. The coverage is great, but the referrals are a nightmare. I hope some of the other military ladies can help you with that process.

  • @iPutKetchupOnKetchup‌ thank you for all of your help. Once I'm allowed to be up and around I will start the process. I'm so frustrated right now with this whole process and how difficult it has been for us. Thanks again for the pointers. I will update when I know more.

  • klyndaklynda member
    I am so sorry.  I know what it is like to get that BFP and then have it seemingly ripped away.  I hope that you have a good outcome this go around.
  • I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't imagine the pain and disappointment of experiencing an ectopic after such a struggle to get this BFP. It's just not fair. 

    I hope you heal well physically and emotionally. Good luck with the process of finding an RE to take good care of you and help you get your take-home baby(ies). :)

  • I'm sorry for your losses. I hope that your heal well physically and mentally. Good luck to for the furure.
  • I'm so sorry about your recent loss. Be gentle on yourself (my favorite piece of advice) and welcome to the community.
    TTC#1 since Aug 2013, I'm 37, DH 41.  
    Maya Arvigo Abdominal massage (daily self care), plus TTC meditations.
    I'm very sensitive to diet (gluten, avoid processed foods) and environment. Have a history of inflammation and tendinitis before going off gluten in 2009.  
    July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 
    DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 
    Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 
    Seriously considering IVF in March/April
    12/17/14 - Natural BFP!
