Hi, I am new to this community and theme,hope you can give me some answers. I am 35, 4 years of trying, did some tests and Hycosy recently where they discovered I got blocked left tube.
A day after that I was ovulating (did ovulation test), and we were really active. Week after trying I got really bloated, feel cramps and period like pain. My period should start in 11 days. So this can be pms or who knows. They said good luck bec I was ovulating from my helthy side. Still I am afraid bec they also said there is always a risk of ectopic pregnancy. I live alone, my husband is working away so I am concerned.
I really hope thay you girls will be fine...

I am only 35 years old but I had an ectopic pregnancy 2 years ago. They had to remove my left tube. I am pregnant now after clomid and hcg therapy. I am only 3 weeks pregnant and my first Hcg level after 2ww period was 1540 which is extremely high. The second one two days later is 1873 so it did not double but both levels are really high. The doctor is really watching me becuse he thinks it can be multiples or ectopic again. Is your tubes open did you  check? Do you have other fertility problems?

At the time I was 36.  I was already have fertility issues.  Had all the tests and they never could find a reason for it. I had IUI (insemination) done and got pg the first try.  Turned out to be ectopic. Took two methotrexate shots one week apart.  They didn't work and my tube ruptured. I lost my right tube. I had IUI done again but it didn't work. The mature follicle was on the side without the tube (right side).  I had IUI done again, this time the mature follicle was left side. It worked and my son was born 4 months ago.

Good luck to you!!
