Ectopics and Fertility

 PREGNANCY AFTER AN ECTOPIC: PART 1 After my ectopic in 2015, I pretty much stopped TTC...I went on birth control pills for the 1st time ever and times I ran out,I ensured we used a condom..The trauma from the ectopic and the near-death experience was just too much...It didn't help that my doctor had said an ectopic pregnancy increases the chance of another....This meant that a future pregnancy will need to be investigated early to ensure it was in the right place; the Uterus!!! Every time I googled ectopic pregnancies or checked Forums for women who had experienced ectopics, it was the same story of a higher chance of an ectopic due to a past one....Some women stated they had experienced 2 or more ectopic pregnancies...Some stated they had miscarriages and molar pregnancies after their ectopic. I just couldn't believe pregnancy could be this hard...As a kid as soon as I hit puberty, I was told to stay away from boys as I could get pregnant and ...

Recovering from another Pregnancy Loss: Miscarriage after an ectopic....   So i have been away for weeks...found out I was pregnant couple of months ago, and had a roller-coaster ride ending in a miscarriage which I opted for my body to expel the pregnancy by itself without any medical intervention...How wrong I was!!! I ended up with sepsis, blood poisoning and I am lucky to be alive.... I will be updating the details in the next few days... Recovery in progress and thankful for LIFE!!!!

Progesterone and what you should know when TTC   Progesterone is a hormone released by the corpus luteum in the ovary. It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. It may also be involved in the growth of certain cancers. What is progesterone? Progesterone belongs to a group of steroid hormones called progestogens . It is mainly secreted by the corpus luteum in the ovary during the second half of the menstrual cycle.  It plays important roles in the menstrual cycle and in maintaining the early stages of pregnancy. During the menstrual cycle, when an egg is released from the ovary at ovulation (approximately day 14), the remnants of the ovarian follicle that enclosed the developing egg form a structure called the corpus luteum . This releases progesterone and, to a lesser extent, oestradiol . The progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy in the event that the released egg ...

 WOMEN; our own worst enemies...... Ever since I was a little kid, I have found it easier to be friends with the opposite sex...At first, I thought perhaps I was attracted to the fact that boys were different and Being the Tomboy that I was, I could climb trees and I could really play rough with Boys...,However, over time I realized it was more than them being cool playmates..... Granted, experience has thought me that not all men are nice (Especially excluded from this group are men you have a sexual relationship with) but in general, MEN are much nicer than WOMEN!!!! Even amongst men, the relationship between men is different to the one amongst women ...There just seems to be so much competition and hatred amongst women...It is like Someone told us all that you have be better than the next one.... This issue crosses many levels...Even in the workplace, women bosses are usually hard to work with...In College, women professors could be really tough and difficult...

      Sally: Ectopic Pregnancy I had just returned from a funeral of a close family friend and had been particularly busy. I got up in the morning and was going to work as normal. While driving I began to suffer some cramping. My period was due so I put it down to that. I got to work and felt nauseas and dizzy so went to the bathroom where I was sick. My first thought was food poisoning. My colleagues took one look at me and said I was off to the local medical centre. My boss drove me there and I was seen straight away and lucky enough to be examined by a doctor who suspected immediately what was going on. They had me in an ambulance and we were off to hospital as soon as my husband came. They had called him in from a meeting he was having in the middle of the asparagus paddock with some of his staff. Here he was, in overalls and work boots! We talked the whole way to hospital, still not realising the urgency of the situation. Arriving there it ...

I just finished watching another Nigerian movie where a married couple (Bayo and Nike) were having trouble conceiving. Barely a year after getting married, nosey friends and family members were already wondering why she wasn't pregnant yet. Are you eating vegetables? Are you having sex during ovulation? You have gained weight, are you expecting? Questions came from every corner and no one seemed to care if the questions were inappropriate or not. Fast forward to 24months after the wedding and people stopped asking questions and instead went ahead to utter mean comments to Nike. She must have been promiscuous when she was younger, perhaps she had aborted all her children...As a result, Nike soon became withdrawn and avoided family events... The final straw was when Bayo's mum came to visit them from the village and brought along a young girl for her son....She claimed the girl was from a good home and would be able to conceive quickly. After all, she w...
