    And also, the ablation should not have any affect on the tubal pregnancy. The embryo would never make it as far as your uterus. And if an embryo did get through, with the ablation, there is very little chance it would be able to implant at all.

    An this has to do with weight loss - how?

    That's rude. You could say that about a lot of topics on the posts, about music, movies, would you date the person above you, etc.

    Why bother replying if you were just going to be a b*tch.

    Immediately following a tubal ligation is, unfortunately; the biggest risk time of having an ectopic. If everything was not done properly, and there is even a little tiny space for a sperm to get through, It can fertilize the egg, but the egg will not be able to follow it's correct path and can implant wherever it lies. However; if you ARE having a tubal, a home pregnancy test should show a positive result. So if you can't get into the doctors right away, it may not be a bad idea to go get one and see. That way if it is positive you will have more leverage to use to get seen more quickly.

    I wasn't sure about that, if it would show positive. Good to know. I may pick one up at lunch if I don't hear back. And even if I do ...

    I had an ovarian cyst that burst last year, I was in bend over type of pain, was in hospital for a week. I had one earlier this year as well but wasn't as severe..could be that?

    But really glad you've called the doctor :smile:

    I know it's unlikely, but not impossible. I guess I'll know what's going on one way or another by the end of the day.

    I just heard from the nurse. I have an appointment at 3:30 and they'll do a test then. She said it could be a cyst, an EP or just bad cramps. So ... lol I'll update when I know more.

    I have never had one, but being pregnant, I find that if I were to look up my normal symptoms, Web MD basically is telling me I am going to die very soon of pancreatic cancer. I went to the emergency room last week from severe side cramps and dizzyness. Turns out had food poisoning and terrible gas. :/ I am sure you are just fine, but to be cautious I would tell you to go see your witchdoctor, like everyone else has suggested. Hope it goes well!

    I'm glad you are going to the doctor. I had a tubal pregnancy about 22yrs ago. When the doctor told me I was pregnant I was very happy but then I started spotting. It is perfectly normal for a person to spot during pregnancy. Days later I started bleeding and cramping and thought I miscarried but that was not the case. I went through an ultrasound and numerous blood test. It was determined it was a tubal pregnancy and I had surgery. I have since had a hysterectomy and I am doing fine. The moral to this story is when it comes to female problems get checked you never know what what could happen. Good luck to you.

    Can I just add, my pain which doubled me over was bad but sharp and then gone, I wasn't in 'severe pain' and even went to work, this didn't mean that the event was any less dangerous and I almost died. By then the pregnancy was only identified through a blood test, the regular test didn't work so don't count on that. Your life is worth that trip to the ER!

    Thanks. I'm sure they'll be thorough. My guess is I'll be having an ultrasound before this is all over.

    My insurance company is going to love me this year!

    I had an eptopic. I had a heavy heavy period with horrible cramps for a few days after I took the meds. Other than that nothing. I would go to the doctor tho or call in and see if they suggest coming in. Better safe than sorry.

    I had an ectopic in May. It was early enough that I didn't have pain and they gave me methotexate and the ectopic resolved :(

    Good news: no EP.

    Bad news: I may have a condition as a result of the ablation that could cause the pain to worsen over time and I may end up needing a hysterectomy as a result. Not for sure. They only way they can KNOW I have the condition is if they examine my uterus after a hysterectomy, so I may never know.

    But at least I know I'm not going to die or need emergency surgery and I know what to expect down the road.

    Thank you everyone for responding and your concern (again!).

    Me, I had one on November 22nd, scariest time of my life. I had to have laparoscopic surgery but they managed to save my tube. All this in a foreign country (Taiwan) the hospital, surgeons, doctors and nurses were all brill and really looked after me.
    I am still recovering but am getting better each day X

    Ectopic pregnancy is the result of a flaw in human reproductive physiology that allows the conceptus to implant and mature outside the endometrial cavity. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, ectopic pregnancy can become a life-threatening situation.
