Our ultrasound was this morning and we did not receive good news. It appears that our baby is in my right tube. We are devastated........a clear yolk sac could be seen in-between my right ovary and my uterus. Our doctor tried to get in closer to see if we could see a heartbeat flickering but we could not distinguish between mine and what could have been our babies. We are waiting for my beta count and we have to make a decision. I am either going to have the methotrexate shot or be scheduled for surgery. Either way, we will lose this child. This is my second ectopic on my right side. I don't know what to do, and I don't have a lot of time to think about it. I could have the shot, and because my last beta was 2144 (Friday), my tube could rupture and I would need surgery. I may be too far along for the shot to work at this point. On the other hand, I could have the shot and not have surgery but have a risk of this happening again (it has been 8 years between my ectopics). I could have surgery to remove my tube, but risks come with surgery.

None of this is fair....... this will be our 11th loss in our 10 years of marriage. I'll try and update as to what we are going to do. When I left the doctor's office, I said I wanted my tube removed......now I just don't know. Please pray for me!
