  An original, back for a visit (long story, loss mentioned) Reply Contact Hello to those of you who may follow this board still. I was with the original group of ladies that aske dfor this board, even though I had, by that September, finally brought new thriving life into the world. She has been my miracle and it took me almost a year to bring myself to TTC again. , and exactly 1 year ttc before I got that next positive test. Sadly, a few short weeks later I started having severe cramping in my right side. A trip to L&D with an emergency run to u/s showed a perfectly formed sacw/heartbeat... at the conjunction of my tube and uterus, growing into my tube- what is called a corunal ectopic pregnancy - only 1-2% of pregnancies are this type. We were devestated, but tolad we could try again when my numbers went back down. UNfortunately, when i went in for surgery it was worse than the u/s showed. I was on the verge of rupturing I lost not only my tube, but the corner or "horn" of my uterus. "A sizable portion ofthe hirn," is how my dr. put it. He recanted his words og hope, telling us that it would be better notto ttc again. That there is a chance of the uterus rupturing during delivery, or possibly in the 3rd trimester. I still have my right tube, I still ovulate, I still have the witch AF. What I don;t have is another baby. I have 2 daughters and 2 angels. I love my daughters, but I have always dreamed of at least 3 babies. What I do have is a nagging doubt, and a longing to TTC again. Has anyone gone through this and gone on to successfully TTC and bring a baby to full term? I know I have a 15% higher risk for another ectopic since I have had one already. I have read online about women carrying to "full term" as in delivering as soon as they reached 35-36 weeks to prevent rupture. I'm willingto deal with moderate bed rest and all that jazz. I just want another baby. I think I am going to begin seeking another ob/gyn and ask for a second opinion. Then after that nightmare is (or isn;t) over, I have to convince my husband of it. **sigh** Any suggestions, stories, advice greatly welcomed and appreciated. Anne Marie

I have no experience with your situation so I can't give you any advice, but I do hope you find another, more optimistic doctor who will see you through another happy, successful pregnancy! Take care hun! I'll be thinking of you!

  Re: An original, back for a visit (long story, loss mentioned) Reply Contact Anne Marie, I, too remember you from way back when. I am so very sorry that you have had to go through such a traumatic experience and can completely understand the longing for another baby. I just ventured on here today - haven't been here in AGES, but you have my prayers. Best of luck to you, and I hope with all my heart that you can have another healthy baby and pregnancy. Rebecca
