Hi Jackie WOW, thats a confusing process, but seems a lot less invasive than the IVF cycle. How are you feeling? Since the FET cycle mimics the natural cycle Im hoping its successful for you, I know it will be Like I mentioned before Ive read a lot of women have more success with FET than fresh! Youre an inspiration my friend.
Hi Selease I know what you mean about the scare of ectopic, each day that passes I worry about it as well. Every little ache in my side, or analyzing any pain as a possible ectopic symptom is enough to drive you crazy. Its so hard to just enjoy being pregnant when there are so many hurdles for people with infertility to overcome. The doctor that did the ER & ET did say that having one baby inutero and one ectopic is possible, I am missing my right fallopian tube and he even said that its possible to have another ectopic in there
ugh! If youve already had your ultrasound and your pregnancy is in the right place youre in the clear!! ENJOY being pregnant! Also, with regards to your symptoms, my first ectopic ruptured and had I not been treated when I was would have taken my life, as I had a large amount of blood in my abdomen (bleeding internally and it was not stopping)
I was in excruciating pain for the first one, as it had ruptured and it was pain in my hip, down my leg, up to my shoulder and I was in tears, there was no mistaking that (I was about 6.5-7 weeks when it ruptured). The farther you in your pregnancy the more it grows , therefore the more chance you have for a rupture. My second ectopic I knew what the pain was that I way experiencing, though milder by a mile, I still didnt want to take any chances and went to the emergency room at 4.5-5 weeks, and I was right. Just listen to your body. How are you feeling? Also, here is a website where you can calculate how far along you are

Also, are you having twins? How many miracles are in there?
AFM I had a bit of a scare, as one of my betas only increased 43% with the two days, and I repeated it again last Saturday (4th beta) and it had increased by 78%, thank goodness. So I have my first u/s on Monday. Based on my betas my RE isnt concerned about another ectopic but Im still worried of course. With my betas starting so strong so early, and going up 203% within two days to only increasing by 43% I was a wreck, but I guess my doc thinks its fine with the latest beta. Though I still have to be careful, as with my history they cant rule it out yet As for your question Selease, I am feeling pregnant for sure lol. I get waves of nausea, very tender breasts, very bloated, frequent trips to the bathroom, fatigue but I do feel much, much better than the last two pregnancies so Im trying to take that as a positive sign. Im trying to take things day-by-day, and am so hopeful that this is our turn to have the family weve dreamed of. I just pray it is. Im 5ws exactly today and counting down until Monday, which seems like an eternity away. You are both in my thoughts and prayers friends, and hope youre both doing well.
