This was my first pregnancy and at 7 weeks (6/28) I went in for my first ultrasound and they couldn't find anything in my uterus but very thick endometrial lining and didn't see anything out of the ordinary in my tubes or ovaries. I had had very little pain but consistent brown spotting since 5 weeks and my hcg doubling time was around 96 hours at 5 weeks. So I didn't feel too good about it from the get go. After my ultrasound the doctor said I was possibly just in very early pregnancy and didn't want to diagnose it as a miscarriage just yet but I was so sure of my dates I knew that was impossible and I'd also gotten a positive pregnancy test on June 3rd. They ordered another quantitative hcg test and my hcg was at 14,324 (My midwife actually called me the day I was rushed into surgery to tell me it was a possible ectopic and to come in as soon as possible. A little late but I appreciated her urgency on telling me). Only a couple days after that ultrasound (6/30) I had excruciating pain in the early morning after I had gone to the restroom and it turns out that it was in fact ectopic and had ruptured. I was taken in an ambulance to the hospital and was in surgery within an hour. The odd part was that the hospital couldn't find it on the ultrasounds they did either. It was hiding in my right tube and I had to have it removed. Now I am so frightened to try again for a baby. We got pregnant within weeks of me going off the pill and I felt so lucky and now it turned into the first time pregnancy from hell and I feel terrified of getting pregnant again. My question is how long did it take you to want to try again after ectopic loss and how long did it take to get pregnant again after losing a tube? I am afraid of this happening again and losing my one good tube :( Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!
