Periods after surgery

I had my right tube removed November 5th, got my period 16th of December then nothing until yesterday my period came again. I’m now ready to start TTC again but I’m worried my cycles are going to be difficult to track, is this normal following an ectopic or did everyone’s periods just go back to normal ??

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍
I had a salpingectomy too a year ago. My first period was about 6 weeks after and then my cycles went to about 37-38 days (my normal used to be 34). That lasted about 5 months then I had a 29 day one followed by a 40. So long story short yes, it went a little irregular but I feel like it more or less settled after a year. I have a Mira fertility tracker which is an absolute godsend and worth the price for tracking. I have pcos and nothing worked as well as Mira for me to get a fully accurate picture of my hormones. Having said that I always ovulate on the left and I have no left tube. Even though people keep saying your other tube will pick up the egg, the chances of that are really small I think. A lot of people alternate ovaries each month, I know I don’t, so personally we’ve decided to go down the IVF route seeing as we’re 37 and my AMH also got halved by the ectopic. I think it varies person by person but cycles take time to settle for sure x

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.
