Blocked fallopian tubes

Ectopic

2009-04-30T03:10:00.000-07:00

I've just been discharged from the hospital today. After several ultrasounds indicating an absence of an intrauterine gestational sac and a very high HCG beta (15000), It was determined that the pregnancy had lodged itself into my right tube. I underwent surgery yesterday to remove the tube. I now have one non-functioning tube remaining. I guess it's IVF or I just need to accept this and move on. Thanks for your support J. Hopefully you'll be luckier than me.
Still tripping off gen anesthesia. I'm gonna go take a nap now.

!!!BFP!!! but very confused here's why...

Since last week I've been experiencing something rather bizarre. My AF was due on the 4th but instead arrived on the 6th. Well okay, 2 days late, this is not unusual. It was a normal period. Anyway, it lasted for about 4 days then ended uneventfully. Well, about a week later I started spotting (never happened before). This was a very light pink flow that was pretty steady followed by some mild abdominal twinges. I scheduled an appt. with my GYN. The morning of the appointment, I dreamt I had a positive hcg on a pregnancy test, it was weird, but I just figured no worries, the gyn will inform me of anything. So she did an ultrasound and found that I had a cyst on one of my ovaries. She said it doesn't look like anything to be worried about and that I should come back in a couple of weeks to see if it's still there. She said the bleeding may be caused by stress. Fine. But something kept nagging me to do a preggo test. So after I left, I went to the pharmacy and purchased 2 tests. I found the nearest bathroom, peed on the stick and VOILA! Instantly 2 BRIGHT LINES! My heart started racing. I decided not to say anything to my fiance and later that night we went to a party. Afterwards when we got home, I went to the bathroom again with another hcg stick and ONCE AGAIN TWO BRIGHT LINES!
Now, 2 days later, I'm totally confused. How could I have had a period then tested positive? I know the light bleeding was totally out of the ordinary but this followed a real period. I'm hoping this is not a biochemical pregnancy, or a tubal. The bleeding has subsided a bit and I'm still getting twingy feelings in my abdomen. I should also mention that the week the spotting began I was moody as hell. I think I became the bitch from hell but I am calmer now.
I don't really know what's going on. I'm thinking I'll probably go buy some more sticks and see what happens or just wait. I'm afraid that if it's ectopic and I wait too long it may rupture the tube. I dunno what the heck's happening! Am I pregnant?
Silver lining
If this turns out to be just a chemical pregnancy, there is one silver lining. Maybe one of my tubes have been cleared. A meeting of sperm and egg have to have taken place. And for me, this is a breakthrough. I'm not quite sure what would have been the thing I did for this to happen. I recently started taking a much stronger dose of serrapeptase ( 90000 iu x3) a day. I also started taking the thiosinaminum I ordered and also another supplement called Astaxanthin as well as my daily ACV which is so cleansing. Whatever it is, something is working.

The list...so far

Many of these supplements are available only where I live, in Asia but that doesn't mean that without some hunting you can't find them in your local herb shop.

In search of Thiosinaminum

2009-03-03T19:08:00.000-08:00

So I came across this substance that is derived from oil of mustard seed. Oil of mustard seed interestingly has a long history of homeopathy, much longer than Phizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Glaxo wellcome and all the other licensed drug-dealing money-hungry vampires out there. Well here's some useful info about Thiosinaminum (still figuring out how to pronounce it).

Thiosinaminum
Thiosinaminum is indicated for dissolving scar tissue, tumors, adhesions, and fibroids. Thiosinaminum can be used for ringing in the ear or tinnitus, especially if the condition is caused by scar tissue or fibrous tissue. Thiosinaminum also may be beneficial for swollen glands and lymph system support, as well as for reducing non-cancerous tumors.
Derived from Oil of Mustard seed, it is a trituration of the crystals of allyl sulphocarbamide. Used as a Homeopathic medicine or simply as a micro-nutritional. (Homeopathic potencies accredit their strength and efficacy to the electromagnetic signatures of the original substrate; these are scientifically created dilutions and succussions of medicines such that generally not even a molecule of the original substrate or medicine is present in the medicine). As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, it has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: Thios. is in the chemical group as Urea. It has been used internally and externally in cases of lupus, chronic glandular tumors, and for dissolving scar tissue; and internally for resolving tumors of the uterine appendages.; it reduces enlarged lymphatic glands, resolving the stricture of the cicatricial tissues and the rectum as well. (Clarke)

worth a shot..right? Although it is said that mustard seed oil can burn you, I don't know if this extraction will cause the same symptoms. I'm willing to try.

over the week..picked up a bottle of ACV

2009-03-02T21:10:00.000-08:00

Okay so anyone who has ever had B.V (bacterial vaginosis) will know what it is like. That deep itching, fishy smell. Well I had B.V ever since I started having unprotected sex in my relationship with my fiance. B.V is very common! I took two courses of Metrodinazole last year which cleared it up, but it kept coming back. Well now, I am happy to announce that after having drunk Apple Cider Vinegar, the B.V cleared up in the SAME DAY! No douching, just drinking it with water. I also bought some Blackstrap molasses but I only just started taking that yesterday so I cannot report any effects.

last week...Natto

2009-03-02T21:07:00.000-08:00

Ok so all of last week involved my experimenting with the Japanese fermented soy product NATTO or NATTOKINASE. I started taking the supplemnets about 3 x a day and the only changes I've seen so far is a LOT of piss. I am going to keep on taking it because I get the feeling (whether real or imagined) that it is cleaning me out somehow.

Does anybody know anything about Serrapeptase and TFI????

2009-02-22T21:15:00.000-08:00

I guess this enzyme is just so new on the market that nobody (ie: health "professionals") seems to know a damn thing about it and its supposed fibrinolytic effects. well here's been my experience so far. Since I've been taking it (about 3 weeks now) my asthma is gone! completely GONE. I never really had any real pain so to speak and my pelvic adhesions(which I've been told are severe) have never presented any pain in the past so there is no way for me to know if the serrapeptase is working to dissolve them. I also pee a lot more when I take a dosage (which now I'm up to about 9 a day, with nattokinase, bromelain, papain and some other stuff) and also my pee is GREEN! I dunno if that's good or bad. I recently read that Big Pharma isn't interested in marketing enzymes because they can't patent it, therefore they can't make any money off it. Well, I guess that's just the wonders of capitalism! IVF is like $6000 a pop, so why bother to explore something that may be much much cheaper and totally natural? I'm thinking of doing another HSG in a few months to see if there is any...difference.

The diagnosis Pt.II

2009-02-13T03:14:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I had the lap done and despite holding out hope of the severity of my condition my worst fears were confirmed. Both tubes are completely blocked. It was also my first time under general anesthesia and I really didn't realize how invasive the procedure actually is. I woke up hours later in pain. The incisions were very small however (3 total) and they've healed very nicely. But anyway, back to the bad news. The doctor said I have severe adhesions on my tubes and of course he reiterated that my only option is ivf. Ivf ivf ivf. That's all I ever hear is ivf!
SO now what to do what to do??? I eventually got around to telling my b.f. He wants to get married this year and he kept going on and on about us having a baby, so I just gave in and broke it to him, he seemed sad. Now the tough part is about warming him to the idea of going through with ivf (he seems to think it's unnatural) Yeah well then so is getting surgery for your bum knee I said! His response...*crickets*. Well anyway, in the meantime I'm trying some other things out. Will it work? I really dunno, but it can't hurt to try. So I ordered a bottle of Fibrovera. It contains an enzyme called Serrapeptase that's suppose to destroy fibrin, or scar tissue. Many people have sworn by it for opening up arteries, and back pain and such, but so far havn't heard anything about it unblocking fallopian tubes. So for now, I guess I'll just be a guinea pig.

The diagnosis

2008-12-16T21:00:00.000-08:00

Hi,

My name is S.K and I have blocked fallopian tubes. I'm not going to bother to explain what fallopian tubes are because I assume that if you managed to find this page you should already know. Anyway, I'm 34 years old and was married once and didn't get pregnant. I got pregnant once at age 17 but then lost it (I had wanted to have an abortion but ended up having a miscarriage instead).
Several years ago I was diagnosed with chlamydia. Chlamydia clears up right away with anti-bioitics but it presents no symptoms, therefore it is an insidious disease that robs a woman of her fertility in the prime of her life.
Now back to my tubes. I had an HSG done the other day that confirmed they were both blocked. Many people also know this as the dye test. The dye test isn't completely accurate so I will be having a laparoscopy on the 26th. The doctor who did my HSG told me bluntly the only option for me is IVF. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not morally opposed to IVF in any way, but ideally I would like to get preggers naturally (hey who doesn't). The problem with the whole ivf thing is, you gotta be in a really supportive relationship and if you're not and you really want a child then you have to buy donor sperm. Like I said, I'm not morally opposed to this in any way, but personally for me, I would prefer to know who my child's father is. But who knows, maybe the further the age train leaves the station I may just decide to jump onbaord and go for it. But for now, I just have a boyfriend, and he doesn't know about my little problem...yet. We've both been married before and he already has 3 kids.
