Hi all, i just joined the forum. I saw this forum and would like to share my experience abt ectopic pregnancy. I realised i was pregnant in early novemeber. During then, I was having my mensus, it had started on the same day from last month, so I thought i was having my regular mensus. However, what differs from previous mensus is that I was having cramps alomost everyday till i couldnt take it. I decided to go n see a GP to get a MC for the day. The GP suggested that i took the urine test to confirm if im pregnant. The test came out positive. I was happy n worried at the same time as i had already been 'menstruating' for 10 days.
The GP recommended me to a clinic at Mt E. i went immediately. The doctor did a probe but couldnt find any sac in my womb. It was supposed to be 5.5 weeks. I told him of my 'bleeding' condition n he prescribed me a drug to stop the bleeding. He also took my blood test and told me to go back 2 days later. I was still worried, so i decided to call up a gynae at Glens which i had went for checkup previously. The gynae also took my blood test, however, he wanted me to admit immediately n had complete bedrest for 2 days. Also, he couldnt find the sac in my womb. He suggested that i shld do another blood test 2 days later to see if my HCG level has doubled. Unfortunately, the hormone level went down slightly n a varginal scan still didnt show the sac. The gynae sugguested that he will do a D&C to clear/ wash my womb. When i heard, i was crying. Few hrs later, D&C completed n i went home. The gynae asked me to go back to his clinic to do another blood test few days later to confirm that the hormone level had dropped to a safety level.
I did the D&C on 7 Nov and went for the blood test the following week. To my horror, the hormone level is still as high as before the wash. The gynae suspected it was ectopic pregnancy as he couldnt find any sac in my womb. Then he asked my to go for a detailed transvirginal scan to find exactly where is the sac. Through the scan, he saw some mass in my fallopian tube. He wanted me to go for the laproscopy immediately. I was so shocked when i heard i had to undergo surgery. So i did the laproscopy on the same day n went back the next day. The gynae also diagnoised me with endometriosis when he removed the moss in my tube. I guess ectopic pregnancy occured becos I had endometriosis.
Currently, it had been slightly a month after the surgery. The gynae couldnt gurantee that my fallopian tube is 100% clear. He removed whatever blockage he can see during the surgery. I am worried that the bad experience will happen again. My mensus finally came back, my cramp was so painful that I couldnt sleep throughout the nite. My confidence level in trying to conceive is low. Sometimes, i can feel slight pain in my fallopian tube...
