Ectopic Pregnancy

I am now 37 years of age, and my son is now 15 years old. I got married in 2007, and two months later I got pregnant and lost it due to the baby growing in my right tube. They had take my right tube. This then started a very long and hard process of trying to get pregnant again. Along with the stress of trying on our own and a few other hiccups along the way (i also had to have a leap procedure done). I finally truly turned to my ob for help. I had to had a procedure to make sure my left tube was open and operating correct (twice). I then was put on clomid, and we tried an IUI (unsuccessful). After 2 months of being on clomid, I was told to discontiune it due to cysts on my ovairies. This felt like yet another devistating set back. Every where I turned someone was pregnant. I would always ask why wasn't I. In the second month of not being on clomid I got pregnant. This was two years after I lost the first baby. I know my story is long, but it has a very happy ending. Our daughter is now 16 months, and I was told by my doctor if we wanted another baby that I would definately have to go back on clomid and have my tube reopened. I know the heart ache that goes along with wanting to get pregant, and it not happening. Our husbands can be great at trying to comfort, but they are not in our shoes. Feel free to contact me if you need to talk. Good luck to you, and great success!!!! :) Christine    -    Christine Esselman 5/27/2011 7:25:30 AM | Flag
