Feel like hiding! need some support

in Pregnant after a Loss
Some of you maybe remember me from asking questions about my recent ectopic two months ago. I found some very supportive females in this group with knowledgeable answers. I am not pregnant but want some advice
Since having my EP in November, I have formed some major anxiety about moving forward. I finally got my period two weeks ago and I asked my OB about getting the HSG test done. Mind you, my OB said from what it looks like in surgery, my remaining tube looked great. He suggested us trying after surgery....
I suggested the HSG and not to start trying until I knew my only tube was working properly.
Sure enough. The test was today and there was a lot of blockage, but my tube was open. It was the most painful experience... Screaming, crying. I didn't have time to ask questions after and was able to see my tube. I was overwhelmed though and couldn't think of anything to ask.
I called my OB nurse to see if I can get a follow up appointment with my OB.
am I acting crazy? My husband thinks so. He suggested me to Stop worrying, so did the nurse when I called! She said that it's good news that my tube was open.
My anxiety mind has been going full force...
What if's... What if there's more blockage, what if all of it didn't come out (cleared).

I only have one tube left and can't risk to play around.
Would anyone suggest a second opinion?
Maybe I am going a little too crazy?
Mind you, I was the one that asked for an early US which caught my EP before rupture so I have a mindset of always thinking about things.
Has anyone had the HSG, said tube was open, gone through terrible pain and still able to conceive?
I guess my ultimate anxieties are just that the tube was not cleared enough and another EP will happen.
Sorry for the over amount of reading. I hope I posted in the right spot and that someone can help me.

    I don't have experience with EP, but I think it's ok to be overly cautious with your doc and fertility. I also think its a good idea to see a counselor to help handle the anxiety, grief and overwhelm that comes with loss and TTCAL. Sounds like your tube is open, which is good, and from what I've learned from these wonderful ladies is that HSG can help clear out blockage as well.


    If you haven't already, the TTCAL board is a wonderful place to check out. Very knowledgeable and supportive women over there.

    I am researching other OB's in the area. Oh it's been a roller coaster with my OB and the entire medical staff. The OB nurse told me I didn't need an early U/S (when I was pregnant) because my blood work came back fine. My numbers were doubling.. I demanded one.. I was cramping so bad and they told me it was normal "uterus growing"
    I might have to travel 30 mins to find the next nearest OB but I am not happy. I don't think I am being taken care of and have yards of anxiety now because of the EP

    *lurking*

    I would say you definitely need a new OB. You know your body, if you're not comfortable at this point you absolutely should get a second opinion. I also agree with PP that seeking some counseling for the anxiety would be wise. (((Hugs)))

    Hi Megan. I recently had an ectopic as well. Ive been freaking out the last few weeks. I just stopped bleeding from the methotrexate injections right before Christmas. I had my last HCG test on Christmas Eve. I found out on Halloween. Its been a long journey. I need some opinions on the WHY. I have no idea why this happened and I think I am almost self diagnosing myself. I am 29 as of December 8th and I am healthy. I have had no indications of PID, no surgery, no current IUD. Am I the only person who has had an EP without any of the "major" symptoms? I am overthinking everything I feel like. My Dr said its just a rare mishap. I dont know what to do. I am going in for an exam this Thursday and I want to ask a million questions. I feel like I need checked for PID because I am talking myself into it. ANYONE ELSE CRAZY LIKE THIS? To top it all off, my best friend told me she was pregnant before Christmas Break. HELP!
