Hi all, this is my first day here...
I found out i was pregnant early Feb and had been confirmed so by a dr whilst on holidays. Within 4 days i began to spot. I remember knowing something wasn't right so when i returned home that evening i was getting pain in my left side and became very worried. I rang casulty and the midwife said that i maybe having a mc (i thought i was) she got me to send my husband in for painkillers and that i should see my GP next day. Took drugs and pain went slept well. Next day went to Dr and had u/s which showed nothing but debris. I was sent home and told if pain came back to go to Casulty. By the time i arrived home i was in pain again. So back to town to casulty. They gave me an emergency lap but i had internal bleeding and they had to remove my tube. I spent 4 days in hosp. drugged up to eyeballs! Sent home and told to see dr in 2 wks. Dr said that it should have been picked up earlier and i was very lucky...it has now been 7 weeks and i'm still struggling to come to terms with it all, i'm so scared of the future, but i have sent myself to a psych for counselling and it's really helping i'm starting to look forward to trying for our 1st baby again. Hubby has been a tower of strength 4 me. I still have'nt had a period yet and am off to dr next week to see what can be done. Hope to hear from anyone with similar story.

love and happiness to all x

Oh beau

I am so sorry for what you have been through it is a terrible experience having an ectopic and i know how hard it is.

I had mine in Jan and it too ruptured and i lost the right tube. Mine too was missed on an earlier scan, I was nine weeks when it ruptured

Here is a link to my story:

It has been pretty hard to deal with emotionally and i still grieve for the baby i lost in such circumstance, although now i feel ready to ttc again, although i am scared of another ectopic. With an ectopic you are also grieving for the lost tube and your lost fertility.

I have found the girls in here on EB to be a fantastic group for support and i have also attended a SANDS meeting which has been helpful/

There is also a ttc after Ectopic thread, so please come and join us in there.

Look after yourself.

Hi beau77,
First up I am so sorry for your loss and what you had to go through.
I havnt personally had an ectopic, I have had a miscarriage at 12.5 weeks and i know its no comparison but the reason I wanted to respond to you was that my cousin went through what you went through and I know how hard it was for her. On a happy note though, I just wanted to let you know that she went on and had 2 beautiful healthy babies after her ectopic and conceived them both quickly. She was told it would be harder for her but she proved them wrong. So I sincerely wish you the best of luck when TTC.

Beau,

I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds as though you are on the road to dealing with your grief by going to have counselling. I have not had an ectopic pg, but I had counselling after my first m/c, as I was suffering from depression and found it difficult to deal with my grief. I am sending you love and best wishes for your TTC journey.

Love Nai xo
