Q: endometriosis and risk for ectopic pregnancy
asked by: mrsJ on June 9th, 2007

Here is my introduction:

I am 27 yrs old and have been married for 1 yr we dated and lived together for 3 years and were friends and roommates for just over a year before dating. Anyway, last November we decided to ttc. I stopped taking BC of 10 years and we just had fun not worrying about it. We conceived in Feb, which was a lot faster than we anticipated. About 7 weeks after finding out we were pregnant we started having complications. My hcg was not rising like it should and there was some bleeding. Dr suspected ectopic (since I have endometriosis I am at risk for ectopics) but nothing indicated such on US, however nothing was showing up intrauterine either. So at my doctors request I got an injection of chemotherapy for fear of the possibility of an ectopic leading to a ruptured tube.

This was and possibly is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Anyway, It has since been a couple months and my husband and I are now ttc again. This month was our first month trying. I have not started my period yet but I don't expect to be pregnant either since my cycles are messed up and there is no telling when ovulation occurred this month. Anyway, that is my story, no questions...just looking for a little baby dust I guess!

I usually lurk on the pregnancy board but ttc seems like a good place for me stick around so I thought I would say hi.

Welcome MrsJ to "getting pregnant". I too am 27. I have been married for 4 and a half years. My husband and I have been ttc for about 8 months now with no success. We have both been checked out by our family doctor and according to her tests, are both "normal". We were just referred to a fertility clinic, and have our first consultation with them on October 15th (i guess we are not the only ones have issues). It definitely has been a trying time.

But enough about me. I can only imagine what you went through with your m/c, and I too am sorry for your loss. Are you currently doing any kind of tracking? (temp, cm, etc.) This might help to pinpoint when you ovulate.

Well again, welcome, I hope your stay here is short and sweet. Baby Dust to you and all the other "moms-to-be"....

Thanks for he replies, I appreciate the welcomes. I am not really doing anything other than just paying attention to when my period comes and my cm. I tried an lh predictor for one month but it was just a waste of money for me. I bought a thermometer but never started temping it seems like too much of a pain. I guess I will just go with the flow and see what happens. It worked the first time.
