As if I don't have enough problems

I now get to add Ectopic Pregnancy to the list of things I have wrong with me. This month I had a very light positive on a very sensitive pregnancy test. A few days later, I started my period, right on time. I was supposed to start Clomid this month, and took it cd 3-7. On CD 10 I started opks...they were all positive. On CD 11, I accidentally grabbed an HPT strip, which I keep in the same box as the opks, and they look very similar. It was very positive. I started to freak out- all the pains I had been associating with getting ready to ovulate were now a problem. I went to the urgent care the next am. They gave me a blood test and my hcg came back at 223. They didn't understand that I had a full period and hadn't ovulated since then. I kept telling them this was bad and I was worried about an ectopic. Finally, they reluctantly agreed to an ultrasound. They found nothing in the tube or uterus so they asked to do another blood draw in 3 days. It came back at 205 and they said that it was an abnormal pregnancy (duh) but I was glad it seemed to be dropping. Unfortunately, 2 days later it was 211. They recommended a D&C. Since I was leaving to go to my brother's wedding, I had to do it that evening with no pain medication because I had already eaten that day. The next day, they called to tell me they hadn't found any tissue and I needed to go to the ER in Ohio (where my family lives) and get a blood draw to see if my hcg went down. It was 315! I then FINALLY was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy and given a shot of methotrexate. Day 4 my hcg was down to 267 and it was 109.4 on Day 7. I'm hoping for a fast drop and a quick 3 months so we can ttc again. I'll always be worried about this now! URGH!
