Ectopic pregnancy and loss
Hi everyone. My thoughts and wishes to all of you who have experienced a loss. I just have too. Two weeks ago I had surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy. I lost my right tube, discovered my left tube is badly damaged and my Dr recommended we go now to IVF, given that I turn 35 in a few months. It was a huge shock. I had just started coming to terms with thinking I had miscarried at 9 weeks, after a couple of weeks of not knowing whether I was going to keep the baby or not. I had to have a D&C and that revealed no placental material, which meant I was sent back in for more tests as they suspected an ectopic pregnancy. My emotional rollercoaster continued. Then the surgery etc. I felt so devastated and now two weeks on, I am in a better state and healing physically, but still very raw and up and down. I am sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes still shocked, sometimes confused.:cry: I feel alone a lot, like others don't understand and returning to work has been a challenge. This site is a really big help. Just connecting with others who really do understand! I just posted in the LTTC/AC section too and the support straight away has been so great.
My husband and I are now trying to be positive and focus on the next step for us. But I know this will take time. Anyway....I just wanted to share on here. :)
