Trying again and pain where tube removed

Post by Jeffcxx »

Hey all! Looking for some advice!
I had my left tube removed last October and we have come to the decision to start trying again.

3rd of jan I got a positive ovulation test.
Yesterday and today I’m getting some discomfort on the side I had the tube removed 😢 what couldn’t this be?

Dear jeffc,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
Experiencing some pain after an ectopic pregnancy is normal as your body has been through a great deal over the last few months. The pain may be due to adhesions (scar tissue that binds two parts of the body together) which form and take some time to settle. As it seems you have just ovulated, it could be that your have experienced ovulation pain and many women experience ovulation pain when they did not before their ectopic pregnancy - including myself. You also may have a heightened perception because of the sad loss that you have had to go through. If you find you experience offensive smelling discharge or an increased temperature of more than 37°C or just want to be checked out to be on the safe side, it would be worth asking your doctors to run tests to check for infection.
If the pain persists, I suggest keeping a pain diary noting when the pain appears, the intensity on a scale of 0-10 and anything that helps the pain eg resting, hot water bottle, paracetamol etc. Visiting your doctors with this information helps them to assess how best to manage your symptoms.

Sending much love,
Karen x
