I had an ectopic in may 2000-it was our first preg. we were trying for only a month-missed af-took a test it was bfp-a very FAINT + but the line was there-called an obgyn office and they scheduled it for 5 wks-(i thought that was a way long time to wait but what did it know -then) things seemed to be going on normal.....it was days before my appt and dh and i had just bd-ed (sorry tmi) and i was in the shower and i started bleeding-it wasn't real heavy more like AF-i didn't know that some women bleed during preg. so we imediately went to er (it was a fri night)(isn't it funny the things you remember?) Now i live in a real small town and the docs aren't that great (i know that now) but back then i didn't have an bad opinion....and coming from NJ-why should i have 2nd guessed them right? they didn't do a u/s said everything was fine and sent us home.the next am i was still bleeding but also started to feel a little "achy"...went back in and they told dh i was probably feeling "constipation" and just needed to go home and take a healthy bm...no kidding they really said that. I had no reason to think that this doc STUNK so i went home-increased my water and fiber and waited.....the next day the pain was gone but i was still bleeding-so we went to a different er (1 1/2 hrs drive away) and the did a u/s and tested betas they were at 580 and said they thought it was a m/s-that "i had lost the baby earlier and my body was just now trying to expell it." (i'll never forget that sentance either) and scheduled an appt for me w/ a ob/gyn from that town for the day after next....so we went home and waited till tues. I LOVED the doc i went to-he tested my betas again and they went up to almost 10,000. Not doubled but they were rising....my belly wasnt sore/i could sit fine/get up fine/ he wanted to wait and see what was going on-all my vitals were good and he felt comfortable waiting to see what the heck was going on if i was. he felt it was ectopic but there where some things giving him doubts-and he'd hate to start the surgery and find out something else was going 'cause if it was a normal preg. i would probably loose the preg. due to the lap. surg....so we went up there every other day for like 6 days.
my #s weren't doubling like they should have but they were rising but he was positive it was an ectopic. i had surgery the next day and he was shocked when he was "in there". i had a ton of internal bleeding and my tube looked like there was a lemon in it...he said i have NO idea how you didn't rupture or have any pain even from the internal bleeding...the lap surg went smoothly-(i don't know why he never did another u/s though rather then have us wait 6 days but oh well) i was started on bcps as soon as i stopped taking the contraction pills and the end of that pack i didn't get af and after being 2 wks late he said come in just to get checked and i was preg again!!!!! all along that preg. the u/s-es dated me getting preggers like 3 days after my ectopic surg. but i know that wasn't true cause 1) i was on contraction pills for i think if i remember right 5 days 2) i wasn't allowed to bd for 2 wks and 3) dh and i SWORE we were NEVER going to try again-we had an ectopic the 1st preg-our chances of the next being the same went up and we had crap luck to begin w/ (being 1 of the 10%).......
