M...I'm so sorry to hear this about your friend. Make sure that she is very aware of what is going on with her body. We thought I was in the clear when mine started to rupture. I was almost 2 weeks post shot. If she has gone to the mainly pain free stage and starts to have any pain in that area she needs to contact her doc/er immediately! <br /><br />It is completely heart breaking and you do become a mental wreck. I can only imagine that it would be similar to the pain of a miscarriage, since they are essentially the same thing. The biggest thing is to let her know how you felt when you went through your situation, and let her know that she is not alone on this journey. Feel free to share my story with her or even have her contact me if she wants to talk to someone who has been through it. <br /><br />The body is definitely a miraculous thing. I don't believe that it will up my chances of having twins, at least not fraternal. But apparently we both have twin running in our families. I'm hoping that it will skip yet another generation for my own sanity, lol!<br /><br />I will be praying for your friend!Katie Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11523052936622887307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843121106358515969.post-37062873667467195522012-08-28T18:26:45.322-05:002012-08-28T18:26:45.322-05:00This is good information to have. I have a friend ...This is good information to have. I have a friend who found out last week that her pregnancy was ectopic, she would have been somewhere between 8-10 weeks. They gave her a shot last Thursday and thus far she is doing okay, physically. Mentally she is a mess, as I am sure you where. I've never had an ectopic pregnancy but I've had a miscarriage, not an easy thing to go through. Her levels are slowly dropping, but everyone is hopeful that the tube will not be effected. It is totally strange how one tube can do the work of two! Since the one tube will do the work of two do you have a higher twin chance? Or does it not work that way since you ovulate from only one ovary at a time. Again, body functions weird me out! I hope and pray that the aforementioned pregnancy will uneventful and you and your hubby will have a healthy, bouncing bundle of baby in your future. :)Marjorienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843121106358515969.post-82171821919708638642012-08-26T23:09:47.011-05:002012-08-26T23:09:47.011-05:00Thank you!

So we shall see how it goes! As far as the possibility of another ectopic, it is sadly there. There is a 60-70% chance of having another one. So as soon as I test positive I have to go to my PCM on post to test officially and then be referred back to the women's center. My OBGYN told me to email her as soon as I am pregnant to get the appointments with her set up. I will have to have my hormone levels monitored until they can check the placement of the embryo which is approximately 6-8wks. Needless to say, it's completely nerve wracking!

I know you had that etopic pregnancy and read your post about it on here, happy for you that it shouldn't affect your fertility! I would have thought the loss of a tube would have a larger impact on it. Is there a higher risk of having a second etopic now that you've had one? Or does that only come into play if the tube had remained? Marjorienoreply@blogger.com
