Kicking Myself...

Hey guys...

I'm freaking out right now..... i got a faint positive on a hpt (period due tomorrow).

In general being UTD would be awesome, except that iwas not supposed to be BD'ing AT ALL till the 23rd of this month.

I had a ruptured Ectopic almost 5 weeks ago (5 wks tomorrow...) and had one of my tubes removed.

We tried to be good... and we tried using condoms but they're horrible.... and now it looks like i'm preggie.....

Does anyone know what risks there may be getting UTD so soon after an ectopic or even after abdo surgery?

I'm going to POAS tomorrow to be sure before i brace myself for the lecture from my GP....

It is a very faint positive but definitaly there..... i asked DF to look at it before i explained how it worked. He saw the line too....

(and yes i know... i'm an idiot for not listening to the docs but i never thought in a million years i'd get UTD so easily after trying for 5 months last time...)

if the egg implants in the right place i cant think of any immediate risks other than possible infection so if they monitor you real close at the start it should be ok but i would still get to a doctor first thing 2mrw. im only first year studying reproduction as part of my bio-med degree so im not an expert but hopefully they'll keep a real close eye on you things will be ok.

on the flip side, and sorry to be a downer, it is possible that it may implant close to the removal site and when it grows and stretches in the early stages the fragile site may not stretch. i know that sounds real horrible and not trying to freak you out. its pretty unlikely but the doc will be able to tell strait away what is going on with an ultrasound and you'll be in no danger.

Yep a line is a line. You can get false negatives but not false positives - unless you read the test outside of the time limit and are looking at an evap line.

Just wanted to wish you good luck - I hope that little egg has implanted in the right place and everything goes well.

Well now i'm officially confussed!

I did another test this morning, a MS Quick card one, and it was definitly a BFN....

The one yesterday was a Crystal Clear, and the line was visible within the five minutes... i'm sure of it... although now i'm starting to doubt my own eyes???

I guess the only way to know for sure is to go for a blood test or wait for AF and see if she shows???

I wish early pregnancy was simple!

I did a quickcard at the doc's the first pregnancy and it came up negative. But I had already got a definite positive on the FR.

Because my entire tube was removed, along with all the ectopic tissue, my Hcg levels were back down to 7 within 5 days.

At day 8 my hcg was under 2.

I spoke briefly to the receptionist at my GP's and she is going to get a nurse to call me in the morning, and i'll ask her for a form to get bloods done.

It's hard though cause i sort of keep going to the loo expecting af to be here, but so far nothing.

I do have some very mild cramps this evening, like i'd get if AF were here, but it's so hard to know what i'm feeling when every little thing could be interpreted either way.

Thanks for your support ladies, and hopefully i'll have an anwswer one way or the other by Wednesday.

( it's interesting to see how many have had a BFN with quickcards early on )

good luck i hope you get the result you want.

Good luck Krissie. And if your doc gives you a lecture rather than advice for where to from here, I suggest you find a new doctor

Krissie - what was the out come hun?

Hey Krissie,

I take it from your ticker that everythings ok and you are indeed UTD?
