Ectopic journey—- has anyone experienced this???

I found out I was pregnant on September 17th , had no pain or anything BUT my body knew something wasn’t right. I had a ectopic tubal in may of 2020 and lost my left tube.
Had my first child last year 2023. Something told me ectopic this time around.
So I told my doctor and I went in for blood every other day because there was so sac found on the ultrasound.
Levels were at 1200, two days later 1460 then the third time I started experiencing cramping before my appointment and spotting. He ruled it out as ectopic because my third results were only in the 1800.
I ended getting surgery and found out it was rare ectopic called fimbrial ectopic.
Two weeks after surgery I’m still test positive on a test. And my Hcg level is at 208 after two weeks. My doctor is concerned that I will have to take the methotrexate shot. I guess my question is, is it normal to not be at 0 after two weeks of the surgery?

Not necessarily, I’m one month post miscarriage and post op and it hasn’t dropped to 0 yet. If your doctor wants you to take the shot, I’d ask further a detailed explanation. I’m sure there’s a reason, just something we don’t understand yet

I don’t know if my doctor is just being safe and watching because if I end up with another ectopic in my tube he will have to remove my last tube. he wants me to go in every 48hours to make sure it’s dropping. He told me that he is certain he cleaned it all out, but there is a possibility that a cell attached itself to something else and started a new ectopic and he wants to get it solved asap. I definitely will ask all my question before anything further happens.
I’m just so devastated I put myself through surgery just to be told I might need the shot which I’m trying to hard to avoid.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
