I have so many questions and such a long
time (feels like anyhow) until I can see
my Dr. My mind runs with so many worries.
I will start by saying I have had two
children via C-section (5 year old, 3 year
old). No other m/c. My husband and I have
been casually trying for a little over a
year to get pregnant. I was having pains
close to my appendix area while visiting
my mom in April 07. The local clinic sent
me to the ER for tests.
Vaginal Sonogram was done along with MRI.
No Appendix problems. But tests showed
moderately enlarged uterus. And an aparent
cyst on an ovary that had probably burst,
and several small cystic areas near
endometrium suspicous for adenomyosis. No
free fluid in pelvis and no adnexal masses
demonstrated.
Now I went to my OBGYN for follow up on
this and normal exam. I was given Flagyl
for BV. And during exam the Dr. said he
felt what were possible Fibroids in
uterus. I figure there is something in
there because I seem to be having bloating
in uterus area for a few weeks now. The
dr. scheduled me a sonogram apt but I
never went. A few weeks passed and I
didn't take the medication for the BV.
Then noticed the fishy smell so I took all
of the Flagyl.
I also was watching for my ovulation by
taking tests on the 8th-12th day of my
cycle. My cycle is around 26 days in
length. And I was able to get an LH surge
on 10th/11th day of cycle. My husband and
I had entercourse twice after I found the
LH surge. Then immediately took the Flagyl
(June 8th and for the full 7 days). I
tested surprisingly positive for pregnant
on July 18th.
I have tested many days since then and
remain strong positive. So my first day of
LMP was June 25th. Now I worry that I may
have a m/c or ectopic pregnancy. I think
the BV was probably untreated for some
time because I remember at least 6 months
back of noticing that additional
discharge, but never did anything about
it. Also the fact that it has taken so
long for me to get pregnant. Wondering if
PID could have happened because it has
been left untreated for a bit. Then again
if I had PID would my exam been able to
show that?
Additionally I worry about the effects of
Flagyl that I took right at conception
time and shortly thereafter. I worry about
ectopic pregnancy as well. Although I have
no history of it, just wondering if
previous scar tissue from C-section and
possible adenomyosis could cause ectopic.
My first sonogram will be Thursday the
26th. I will be right at about 5wks
pregnant, but only 3 wks gestation. I have
sore/enlarged breasts but no other signs
of early pregnancy.
Do you think that we will be able to rule
out ectopic based on early sonogram this
Thursday? And are my chances of m/c higher
due to other issues?
Thank you so very much for any information
and possible peace of mind.
