Ectopic Pregnancy

done under medication (but not a general anesthesia), The doctor will use a transvaginal ultrasound to guide a needle, up to the ovaries. suck the fluid and 8 to 15 oocytes from the follicle in to the needle.

They can be symptoms, yes, but they aren't a guarantee that you're pregnant.

Women with PKU must be especially careful with their diets if they want to have children. They should ensure that phenylalanine blood levels are under control before conception and throughout her pregnancy.

The success rate can be quite good if you have proper care, a good doctor/specialist & you follow instructions.

I had 5 early misccarriages then saw a parinatologist for my 6th child at 17.5 weeks my water broke & there was nothing that could be done to save my son....he was delivered stillborn. I saw a parinatologist again for the next baby & armed with the info from the last pregnancy they were able to declare that I did indeed have an incompetent cervix. Now this meant VERY close monitoring & my choice to wear a pessary (kinda looks like a diaphragm but has to be inserted & taken out by a dr only, once a week to be cleaned!) or be very pro-active & have a cerclage surgery just after I passed the 12 week mark (normal miscarriage date).

I opted for the cerclage, it was an outpatient surgery that took about 1/2 an hour, they literally sew your cervix shut. I was told to take it easy for about a week and then could return to normal activities however with incompetent cervix you are usually placed on "restriction" from week 8 - 14, during which time you may not have sex what-so-ever! I also had to go for weekly internal ultrasounds after my cerclage was placed to measure the length of my cervix, it began to get shorter & shorter so they placed a pessary anyway to see if that would help, at 19 weeks I went into labor, my cervix started dilating (which is seriously dangerous as it will rip to shreads with the ceclage in it). I was admitted to L & D, put on magnesium sulfate & other anti-labor drugs, I was hydrated, and told I would be having emergency surgery as soon as they could get the contractions to stop, to place a second cerclage becaue the first one was slipping out! 12 hours later I underwent the surgery, then was placed in the AntePartum area of the hospital and was told I would stay there on bed rest till I delivered. I was put on anti-labor drugs for the remainder of my pregnancy, I was only allowed out of bed every other day to take a shower, and once a day to sit in a chair for no more than 20 minutes. I was monitored every day, the baby's heart rate was monitored every day, I received utrasounds every other day....after 3 weeks of this I begged to go home, I was getting too depressed being locked up in a hospital room. I was allowed to go home but was to remain on the same VERY strict schedule.....in bed all day every day unless I was going to the dr's office, or to have an ultrasound or be monitored.

Cerclages have to be taken out before you go into labor naturally so mine was schedueled to come out at 36 weeks. It was removed & there surprisingly was no gush of labor. A week went by, still no baby, self-induction was not even working (I'm a Doula & am trained in it)....at 37 weeks I was told there was barely any water left in my placenta, and the baby was in danger of dying from a prolapsed cord, so now after all these weeks of struggling to keep him in, he wouldn't come out. I was rushed to the hospital and labor induction drugs were started.....They had to eventually be stopped because they were not working & were distressing my son. A resident manually got in there and pryed my cervix apart to a point, after that I dilated within an hour and my son was born 19 hours after entering the hospital. An exam was then done of my cervix & I was immediately rushed out of the room for emergency surgery on my cervix.....it turns out the doctor that removed the cerclages, missed a stitch & it was still holding me together.....thus the resident's prying & my son's head tore my cervix to shreds & it required 3 & a half hours of reconstructive surgery by a vaginal plastic surgeon to put it back together. He said it was the worst mess he's ever seen.

So if you are diagnosed incompetent.....decide VERY carefully on your treatment, weigh all the pros & cons, and make sure you have a VERY competent doctor!

I wish you all the best ~PradsPrincess

No, doesn't sound normal at all. Visit a doctor

I don't believe so. Ovulation itself around the middle of your cycle can cause pain but not pregnancy itself. I'd get it checked out if they are significantly unusual.

Yes

Symptoms of ectopic: It can be hard to tell if you are experiencing an ectopic pregnancy because so many women don't even know they're pregnant at the time they would notice any symptoms of an ectopic. Some symptoms of tubal pregnancy such as a missed menstrual period and vaginal bleeding or spotting two weeks later are similar to the early signs of pregnancy. About 1 in 2 women who are experiencing a tubal pregnancy notice abdominal pain on one side or the other. 1 in 3 women feel light-headed and about 1 in 5 have shoulder pain on the same side as the stomach pain.

The nursing management for client with ectopic gestation are quite involving. They include pre-operative care which will involve things like ultrasound scans and so on. There is also post-operative nursing care after the operation that will monitor the patient and ensure that they are on the right recovery path.

The lack of nutrient tissues that it uses to grow, as well as proper oxygenation and blood flow are all factors that render ectopic pregnancies non-viable.

The answer is yes......I had a full tubiligation done after my third child in 2002.And i ended up pregnant with a tubal in 2005. I was shocked, I had mentioned to my boyfriend that my breast hurt really bad... And he brought it to my attention that I was even late starting my period. I thought no but realized once i started looking at the calender he was right. I went to get a test even though it was the last thing that I would have thought would come up positive sure enough I took two at home and they were pos. I went to the doctor he done a p.g. and blood test to determine yes I was with a week 1/2 of blood work it was determined it was a tubal I did not want to under go surgery again. So i took the shot called metrotrexate which diteriates the cell of the baby of course a tubal left unatended is life threathning so i had no choice but to get it out . And I did ask my doctor what my chances of getting pregnant again were. And he told me w/o some form of protection 'pretty likely' was his words. of course it could be a tubal again also. I do hope for another child in the future... and may under go a reversal b/c my scar tissue may be what stopped the other baby from getting all the way through the tube causing it to form where it stopped at.

ask your obgyn. in the meantime don't take any more

not sure if this helps but my mom was on bc until she was 3 months pregnant with me (she didnt know she was pregnant til then) and i am now 21 and average in some things and above average in others with no adverse side effects

Sore breast,Missed period, Tired all the time, Morning sickness which for some its all day sickness, Frequent urination, Sensitivite to smells,

Just remain calm and see that this gets prompt follow-up with a doctor's opinion. The office should have immediately set a new appointment with another sonogram and a doctor should always be there it diagnose pregnancy. Don't be too alarmed at 8 weeks the baby is only a little bigger than a grain of rice so you should be able to see something the next time they perform an ultrasound! Good Luck and God Bless! You are not having an ectopic as this is when the baby develops in a tube which then has to be removed. Answer: You must know by now what is happening. However, if not, your hormone levels needed to be checked to make sure the hCG and estrogen, progesterone are at the appropriate levels. If they are, there may still be a pregnancy. If not, the sac may be empty - the sac developed, however, the fetus did not.

our daughter had light periods the first five months, then again the seventh month.....and although she had a very difficult pregnancy and deliver all is well now (baby born 4-18-07)...i would call your ob/gyn immediately.......you need to be checked honey....

It's possible; Your symptoms of pregnancy will usually appear anywhere from the first week of your expected period to 1-2 weeks after your first week of expected period. Your first signs of pregnancy most commonly include: * missed period * tender/swollen breasts * change in color of the breasts * fatigue * nausea/vomiting * increased sense of smell * weight gain Here is a link to a website that will calculate the probability of your pregnancy: http://www.thepregnancytest.com/

After a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy it typically takes a woman 6-7 weeks to begin menstruating again. Some women will menstruate just like normal, right on schedule, but others will take longer. If you haven't gotten your period back by 8 weeks, I would call your OBGYN for a checkup.

someone will only be able to answer your question if you but the correct information and spelling on your post. im really hoping you are nbot just trying to be funny with your post...this site is to help people get accurate info on issues. please re-post question adn i will try my best to help you. prayer is power

Three weeks after you take the morning after pill and/or on the first day of your period

They should know much sooner than that, due to the fact that the fetus can't grow outside the uterus without rupturing the supporting tissue. Most women have excruciating pain and spotting anywhere from 4-8 weeks that alerts them to the problem. Also, it is a good idea to have a prenatal screening and ultrasound well before the 14 week mark, and this would reveal any abnormalities or inconsistencies with HCG levels.

Bad pain or stomach cramps are not a common sign of pregnancy but can happen. This can be caused by a fallopian cyst or by a tubal pregnancy so it should be evaluated by your medical provider.

This usually means that it's most likely an ectopic pregnancy and you should immediatly contact a doctor. Ectopic pregnancies are not viable, meaning that the birth cannot proceed to full term or else you and the fetus will not survive.The fetus in the Fallopian tube cannot grow to full term.The longer you wait the higher danger there is for a female's tube to burst or rupture, a life threatening situation.

I have had two children and both times my tests didn't show I was pregnant until I was atleast 3 weeks pregnant

You usually aren't supposed to take a pregnancy test until your first missed period to get the best results.

There is no way to insure that you have twins. If you go in for in vitro fertilization then your chances of having multiple increases greatly but they most likely will not be identical. Just leave it up to nature and be happy with what you are given.. Good luck!
