I'm so glad to have found this group! I am recovering from an emergency laproscopic ectopic pregnancy that happened 12 days ago. Wow, it's been an emotional and scary ride! Anyways, the first 2 days on Percocet and mortin 800mg made it seem like this might be easy (physically). So I stopped the meds (being constipated) and found that my cheek and toe would tingle on and off. I had lil twitches in my legs and then just recently (day 6 and on till now) some pains under my knees and in my arm and headaches. Weird symptoms that really worry me. Doc says its prolly just anesthesia probably wearing off. I don't know... Now day 11 and 12 the location where they removed my pregnancy hurts deep inside! (left tube which they saved) I tried to squat and plant flowers a few days ago, and also walked more. Partly to keep my mind off the twitches and tingles and pains id feel when lying down.Today after stabs and aches in my side in spite of motrin and heating pad, Im on percocet again.:( I was in tears. It hurt like dull rips or throbs. I hope I didnt break my tube open or something (he said he would let it naturally heal back together) Or maybe Im ovulating since i had some discharge (or that could also be a yeast infection as Ive had some itching) My doc gave me birth control pills but I didn't take more than one when I decided to wait (in case of blood clots) till 2 weeks post op. Whew! So that's where I'm at. Did anyone go through pain like this from day 7-12? Or any tingling? I'm trying not to worry but this whole experience has unnerved me physically and saddened me so much. Any thoughts would be so appreciated. I really wish I could talk to someone who knows where I'm at and has gone through these things too. So glad to find a spot like this. Thanks for listening.:)
Hi, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I to went through emergency surgery for an ectopic. I can't say I had a lot of pain like you discribed. But I had my tube removed. The doctor left one of the cut open to let the excess fluid out and it bleed for a couple of days. I would say that if you are really concerned make your doctor listen to you and get yourself checked out. Despite what they think they don't know everything. I hope you're feeling better.
Thank you both for responding. Gladly I am feeling MUCH better physically these days. Emotionally yes, as you both would know, it is a roller coaster. Today I took out the boxes of my girl's baby clothes to give to my sister who is pregnant. I was trying to hold back the tears. So happy for her, so sad still inside. But I am grateful for your words and encouragement, and for a Father who understands all this pain. Much love to both of you. Thanks again for your words.
Mine was done in September, has anyone here had a successful pregnancy since and if so how long did it take to conceive?
2 ectopics and just had tube removed
