ectopic pregnancy

I had a period only 16 days after my last one started. I was very worried indeed. There must have been something wrong with my hormones. I went to see the doctor.

She was reassuring and told me that it was probably the stress of ttc messing up my hormones. Nevertheless, she would refer me for blood tests to make sure that everything  is OK. I went for the tests a week later, but have to wait 1 week for the results.

In the meantime, I realised that this "period" has lasted for much much longer than usual, and it was really light (barely filling a tampon). I also noticed that my breasts were really sore and I that I felt bloated. I wondered if I was pregnant and that the bleeding was pregnancy related. I did a test and it was positive. I was excited and apprehensive all at once. What could this mean? Was I pregnant? Was I miscarrying?

I did the test during a bank (public) holiday and had to wait for a few days for the doctors to be open. I saw the same doctor as before. She looked at me as if to say, "and what do you want THIS time?". I told her what happened and she referred me to the Early Pregnancy Unit. I would not be able to go until the next morning. I called my partner then went into work.

There followed a week of blood tests. My hCG levels were too low for them to scan me, and the tests told us that I was having a failing pregnancy. I was still bleeding lightly and I had noticed a tingling sensation on my right side. I had a horrible feeling that I was having an ectopic pregnancy. At my last appointment, the nurse was unhappy, my miscarriage was not resolving itself, I had been bleeding lightly for 14 days. A scan revealed a mass in my right tube, they were 99% sure that it was a tubal pregnancy.

From this scan, things moved very quickly. Within a couple of hours I was having keyhole surgery to remove the pregnancy and my right tube. And so it was, that at the beginning of May 2010, I went from having two fallopian tubes to one.

After the surgery I was told that my chances of conceiving were not greatly reduced. I still had 2 ovaries and it is possible for you to ovulate from the right and have the egg travel down the left tube. This was very good news. I went off on holiday and awaited my period so that we could try again...

  1. I just got my pregnancy test result and guess what, it was positive. It confirms I am 10 weeks pregnant after 5 years of Agony and trips to different hospitals and specialists. But unfortunately, I am sad, while I am supposed to be glad, I am sad because I would have been pregnant earlier than now, if I never listen only to my friend advice, I should have gotten my own baby earlier, believe in nature, i had Blocked Fallopian Tube I came across it success story of the great Eka who help women conceive with his spiritual method. I have bilateral blocked fallopian tubes and my doctor flush the tubes but it got blocked again and I got frustrated with the procedure and decided to research about other options for opening fallopian tube, after fail attempts to open it by doing the flushing my doc suggested. I did research online and I came across Eka email (dreka14demons@gmail.com) and his work, every information seems right to me and I was pleased, I told my doctor about the product I discover but he said there is no herbs and spiritual cleanse that can unblock tube naturally. I listen to him and went for IVF and after 2 failed attempts and total waste of money. I decided on my own to try DR Eka for his spiritual cleanse and pregnancy spell I got pregnant in 9 weeks. After this, my doc is steel amazed at this, I advise every other woman with fallopian tube issues ,pcos and other infertility problem to do their research and don’t base your option only on anyone’s advice, I did and it resulted in waste of money and time, contact Dr Eka on email: (dreka14demons@gmail.com) because I have discover DR Eka long time ago and I would have been pregnant earlier if I follow my heart and did the spell but I disregard it because of my doctor’s advice and I am annoyed at myself but at the same time I am happy that I made the wise decision by going back to Dr Eka for spiritual help. Now I am a strong believer of spiritual and natural medicine. Thank You. Contact Dr Eka on email for help on email: (dreka14demons@gmail.com).....
