ok im still waiting for my insurance co to authorize my u/s. hopefully soon. and im still not sure if am pg or not. but i did take another test and it came out positive just like the other 2 so im thinking that i am. i guess im just scared of the fact that it could be a tubial pg/ hoping that its not....its just hard to believe that after getting my tubes tied back in dec. that this could happen again. i went for the tubial ligation so this wouldnt happen but i guess if this is what god wants is for me to have another one then i guess i will be as long as its not in the tube.

I know how hard the waiting can be! I looked this up un my pregnancy book("What to Expect When Your Expecting") and here are some symptoms of a tubal pregnancy: *crampy pain with tenderness, usually in the lower abdomen on one side initially though the pain can radiate throughout the abdomen. Pain may worsen on straining bowels, coughing or moving. If tubal rupture occurs, pain becomes very sarp and steady before diffusing throughout the pelvic region. *brown vaginal spotting or light bleeding(intermittent or continuous), which may precede pain by several days or weeks, though sometimes there is no bleeding until the tube ruptures. *heavy bleeding if the tube ruptures. *nausea and vomiting-in about 25-50% of women-though this may be difficult to disinguish between morning sickness. *dizziness or weakness, in some women. If the tube ruptures, weak pulse, clammy skin, and fainting are common. *shoulder pain in some women. *feeling of rectal pressure in some women.

It also states that most tubal pregnancies are diagnosed by the eighth week of pregnancy and a good many are diagnosed even before a women knows shes pregnant.

I just though it might be a good idea for you to be aware of the symptoms while your are awaiting the ultra sound. My thoughts are with you hoping all is fine.

well i havent had any of the signs that u described. which i guess is a good thing. i just wish that the insurance co. would approve the ultra sound so i can find out what is going on. the waiting is the hardest but im dealing with it and my bf is being very supportive with all of this and helps keep my mind off of the waiting. i want to thank u for ur response it helps. i will keep u posted on what is going on and let u know when i finally go in for my ultra sound. it just seems to me that when i went and had my tubes tied it was suppose to be a permanent thing and now the thought of having another baby wow. but i will do like i did with my other 3 give the love i can and raise it as best i can and pray that it will make the right choices in life. just like i wish for my other 3. and pray that it grows up healthy. but i will keep everyone posted on what i find out.

How lucky your 3 children are to have you! And if your are pregnant, how lucky this child is! Pregnancy after a tubal is rare, but it can happen. I know 2 women who had this happen. Somethings arent in our control. I wish you the best!
