Hi all...
When I joined the group last week...I thought I was in the starting phases of a m/c. I wasn't too far off...but just wanted to share a full update. To some who are part of the DIJ group I was in, may have read most of this.

I spoke with my doctor Friday late afternoon. He told me my numbers were still rising, but something was wrong. He scheduled me to head in on Monday for more blood tests.

I was taken to the ER Saturday afternoon with excessive pain in my left side. I was immediately admitted and sent to ultrasound. I explained that the pain was on the left..and my doctor seemed relieved that I could kind of pin-point my location. Considering I'm used to a certain level of pain, she's lucky I went in at all. Everything showed a rupturing fallopian tube, but nothing else in side it. So I was taken in for emergency surgery at 10:30pm on Saturday night. They were able to clean out the tube and repair some of the damage, and they are letting the rest try to heal on its own. While inside, she did find that I was carrying twins, fraternal (2 eggs). The other twin was down in my cervix, another area not suitable for growth, and she removed that as well. Finally got out of surgery around midnight or 1am. I spent that night in post op with some of the best nurses! Very suportive and were willing to just sit with me, knowing what i was going through. I was kept again last night, and was just released this evening (Monday night). The doctor wasn't sure about letting me out yet, but she accepted that I probably would be able to sleep better at home.

So..general re-cap. I was preggers with fraternal twins (wow!)...however both were conisdered ectopic and non-viable. Had to go in for emergency surgery and was kept for a few days. So, Saturday night I sent two new angels up above.

However, I now have 2 OB's that are on my side. My dr that I had just started seeing with this pregnancy, and the doctor I met at the hospital for my surgery. She wants to join in the care for me along with my Ob. They plan on also sending me to the fertility experts. Soooo..my husband and I are still on the TTC group, but we need to let me heal a bit! Once I'm given the a-ok...It will be back to the drawing board!

I'm currently home..and I've been banned from work for a few weeks...and back to the doctors soon. But I will be out of commission for at least a month!! Currently just getting used to the pain on my side..and again the idea of losing my babies!

Sorry so long..but thought I should share so you know where I've been on my TTC journey up till this point!! I have survived endometriosis. I have survived PCOS. I have survived cervical and ovarian cancer. I have survived 4 m/c. and now I have survived an ectopic twin pregnancy!! Running out of things but a healthy BFP to be thrown at me!!
