Next steps following EP

edited November 2014 in 1st Trimester
hello gang,
I posted previously that I had emergency surgery last Friday for EP. The last 7 days has been straight hell of lots of bleeding, cramping, and emotional distress. Today was the first day I have started to feel better and able to cope with my thoughts.

My next OB follow up is not until two weeks and please note that I do not plan to TTC or rush my healing in any way, I am just looking for some positive imput

Following your EP what tests did you get done, if any at all? I have heard of the HSG test and it sounds promising.

- did anyone jump the gun and move right to a specialist?

It took us 8 long months to get pregnant and then have the EP happen. I am almost thinking of Clomid as well, to see if that will help with TTC.

Besides for healing and taking care of myself I am just looking for some guidance... Following EP what did you have done, tests.. Etc to help guide me into TTC again.

I can't wait to tak to my doc. I have so many questions and concerns.

I had partial tube removal and not sure if that means the tube will grow back/be healthy again later down the road... Ugh I just wish the next two weeks to go by fast so I can talk to my OB.

Any advice is better than none. Please note I am not trying to be "Mr. Google• just looking for some follow up steps

Thanks!
Megan

Re: Next steps following EP

  • Clomid was actually suggest to us by our OB if we didn't get pregnant soon. Surprisingly that month we did get pregnant- but ended in EP

  • I feel like alof of the health professions push meds. Since my surgery 7 days ago, I was prescribed Xanax, Narco, and Ambien!!! What a cocktail of drugs...

  • I'm so sorry about your loss. I had an ectopic in July. I was already seeing a reproductive endocrinologist at that point, but he did suggest to me to repeat the HSG before trying to get pregnant again. I think that would be a good option for you. As far as Clomid, I would recommend trying on your own until the year mark if you are under 35 and if the HSG doesn't show any problems. Good luck!
