UPDATE: I took the HPT and it was negative.....I should've waited one more day because I got my period later in the day....LOL. I love babies, but I'm very happy with what I have.

Congrats!! I'm happy for you that you started. Now it's my turn to start, lol. I still haven't, I guess if I don't start by sometime next week, then I'll go see my doctor. Good luck with the rest of you!

I've been showing symptoms for the past week or so. Spotted the past few days very lightly (but I did with my last 2 babies also), having crazy headaches the last few days, gas, constipation, blah...AF is due in the next few days (around the 1st). Had a tubal after 3rd baby 19 months ago. Husband had a V the end of March (we haven't given any samples yet to confirm zero sperm yet). I've taken 2 HPT both negative (the kind when you are supposed to be able to test 4 days early). Was wondering if ep normally show up with a + HPT or not? I have an appt with dr on 6/6. Making myself crazy over this.... thanks for your time. -g.

I had tubal in July 2000, after third child. I have not had period since end of March (around Easter). Starting to wonder if pregnant. Periods were normally irregular until tubal was done. Since tubal I have had bad headaches before I start, headaches have ceased. Other symptoms include moodiness, bloating, fluttering feeling in abdommen. If I am pregnant isn't to early to feel movement? I'd be about 9 weeks.Waitng till end of week to take hpt. Hoping for the best!

I had my tubal 3 years ago. My boyfriend and I are wanting to have another child. What is the chances of getting pregnant after having it revirced? Is invetro a good way to go now! Just how much will we have to spend? Who do I need to see about it. We need this child. He and I have 4 boys between us and no girl. His kids are adoped and not his own. We need one that is ours. Please help.

I am in same boat as u, cept, I only had one tube cut, tied and burnt.. lost the other due to ectopic 19 yrs ago.. anyway.. I been having weird pg signs as well.. strange periods.. in fact in april it was lite, then midcycle I bled again.. actually 12 days earlier than I was supposed to ( may 13th) took a test on the 15th , was neg...and about 2 weeks after that I started getting all these blue veins throughout my chest..around my BBS up to shoulders, very weird.. they are still there, and seem to be growing lol.. so I took another test on the 25th ... neg.. I have NO idea what the hell is goin on with my body.. I was on a 30 day cycle for yrs and yrs..when I took the 2nd hpt test, I had to store my First morning uring in the fridge till I could use it, ( I had way too much to do lol) so I dont know if that messed up the test.. anyway.. I thought ok.. my cycle just got outta wack.. so I will wait til the 2nd of june ( since I had that early bleeding on the 2nd of may) still no signs af is coming.. not my usual signs anyway.. Have you found out anything yet??let us know..personally since I know what an ectopic pg feels like and is.. I am seriously watching out for signs of that too.. then I was 3 mos pregnant in my tube, and started to rupture.. so.. well please let me know

UPDATE on me - I had a miscarriage. Had a D & C on Thursday. My husband went to get his vasectomy done Friday. I am still not quite sure how to feel. I keep seeing babies and sometimes I cry, sometimes I just think about how it would have changed my life to have another one. I know I am strong enough to make it through the miscarriage but I know it will take awhile before I really accept the fact that my baby is gone. I woke up from the anesthetic thrashing and crying because I saw myself standing in front of a grave with the name RYLEE on the headstone. Since we never agreed on a name and this one was not one we even discussed I think maybe the baby was trying to tell me that he/she was okay and that the baby wanted me to know it's name. It gives me comfort to think this way. God bless to all who are pg or who may be. And thanks for the prayers and words of encouragement.

Sorry it didn't work out for you Paula.

 

Tasha - May 31

UPDATE! Well, I started spotting just a little bit last night, it's not normal though. I am starting to get scared. I'm having the same signs that I had before with the tubal pregnancy. I just keep hoping and praying that it's just stress. After all, I have 4 little boys, lol. I'll give another update in few days when I find out more. Good luck to you all.

Paula honey I understand your situation completly. I had a TL in 2002 and totally did not want anymore children. On March 14th I was 6 days late for my period. I took two HPT both positive and went in to the dr. for a test. Came back negative. So he said he'd do a blood test since I had two positives. Next day I got a call with a big congrats saying dr. urine test was wrong and blood test had a level of 288. First off I was devistated. Did not want anymore kids. Well had a week to get used to it and got really excited. Started cramping on 3-21 and had blood levels drawn and ultrasound. Saw sac in uterus, but not baby yet. Called tuesday and levels had doubled daily like they were supposed to. 1640. Went in for another blood draw on 3-23 and levels had dropped to 1443. I was devistated. Cried uncontrollably. Had levels drawn again two days later and down to 700. Started to naturally miscarry on 3-29, but birthday none the less. I was so devistated. DH and I have decided to try again. My miscarriage made me realize two things. First obviously god wanted me to have more children and secondly I want at least one more. As for the pain of the miscarriage, it gets easier as time goes on, but there are times I see a baby and my heart breaks and literally cried reading your story. I still set and think okay today I would have been 16 weeks and am sure I would have felt the baby moving by now. Its hard, but the pain gets easier. I'm sorry for your loss and god be with you. If you would like to talk to someone who has weent through the same situation feel free to email me. angelaeyes2001@yahoo.com I'd be happy to talk to you or anyone else that just wants to talk about pregnancy after a tubal.

I believe it is more common than the experts are willing to let us all know. I had my tubes cut tied and burned ( so the dr. said) in 2000. I just found out yesterday that I am pregnant. The thing is, they couldnt tell me where the baby was, even with ultrasound, says it is too early. Im only 5 weeks. All the research I have been doing tells me it could go either way. Ectopic or normal, and that brings up so many issues for me. I will be 38 years old tomorrow, I didnt want anymore kids. My husband and I are seperated, and I have a boyfriend who has voiced his want for me to have his baby. The thing is, I never thought it would happen. I love him dearly, but im not sure how I feel about it. He keeps asking me what I want to do... but I dont know.. because I dont know the facts yet. I have to get more bloodwork done tomorrow to monitor my hormone levels since nothing could be seen on the ultrasound. I want to have his baby, but Im scarred, my other kids are 16 and 5 and he is married, im really upset and I cant stop crying.

What is up with the year 2000, I had my tubes tied in 2000 and the majority of the woman I have read about tubal litigation failure had their tubes tied in 2000, I hope mine fail so I don't have to pay to have the reversal that I'm planning to do next Feb.

Just FYI my mother had a TL in 1957.Six years later she gave birth to a healthy baby boy,41 years later I,m still living proof!

 

Paula - June 2

Well it seems that I can't yet start to heal from the loss of my baby. The dr called yesterday and said there was no fetal matter in the D & C pathology. So I have two choices, either a laproscopy which will clean out my tubes by surgery, or take a series of two shots will I guess clean out my tubes. I chose the shots because I really can't afford to miss anymore work. I don't get paid if I ain't there. So today after work I have to go draw blood and check my HCG levels then if they still haven't dropped to zero I will get the first shot. Then Monday I will draw more blood and get the second shot. If it doesn't work then surgery it is. I can't begin to get over it because I get through it yet.
