Hi there HDJ

So sorry to hear about your ectopic. I had an ectopic pregnancy back in April of this year, in my left side as well, but they were able to save the tube. While I haven't been trying as long, I will say that I haven't been ovulating on my own since the surgery, until this month when I started Clomid. Not sure how it'll work for me, or if the scar tissue in my tube will block anything/cause another ectopic, but after charting and finding no ovulation I had to do something.

Seems like you are already doing the right thing by tracking ovulation and periods, and making sure to bd in your fertile week, but since one tube is missing, if you ovulate from that side, it will be more difficult to become pregnant. But it is not impossible to ovulate from the bad side, and have that egg go down the good side's tube. Since you've had part of your tube removed, your egg, if ovulated from your left side, may just be having trouble getting to the other tube.

Since it's been awhile you've been trying, and you are pretty sure you are ovulating (temp rise, cm, opk's), then I would say see a doc and ask what the issue could be. You have a history now that causes complications, so don't be hesitant to talk to a doc early. I hope you get your BFP soon. Good luck and sorry I couldn't be more help. If you ever want to talk though, feel free to pm me.

Hello and welcome! I am very sorry for your loss. I agree it sounds like your doing it right by tracking ovulation. I would take a copy of your charts and make an appointment with your doctor. Hopefully you and your doctor can get a plan together to help you get your rainbow baby

I had an ectopic in may but we caught mine before I needed surgery.
The best you can do is track your OPK's and temps and see your DR about why you are not getting pregnant.
They may want to run a HSG to see if you other tube is blocked or other problems that may be causing the ectopic or not getting pregnant.

if it didn't happen this month,which i hope it did,i'm gona make an appointment to see my doc. after my surgery,my doc said i should be able to still conceive.i'm probably gona make one anyways just to speak with him and get his input. thank u for your input too!!

[HDJ]

ok another question. i calculated i was supposed to ovulate on 10/08/11.i had intercourse on 10/05/11 and 10/07/11. i spotted a little and started cramping,on my good side,after intercourse on the 7th. i researched a little and read it could have been ovulation spotting,but i'm not sure because i've neve done that before. what is your opinion as to what the bleeding could be? and what is your opinion it worked this month? any opinions are appreciated! thanks!!!

I have heard some ladies on here say they do spot a little during/after Ovulation.
I hope this is your month and you get a BFP in a couple weeks!

[HDJ]

i've heard of some doing it too,i never have personally. the way i calculated it,i think i did everything right and at the right time. i hope i get positive result in a few weeks too!! thank you!!!
