Suffered an Eptopic - Lost my Left Tube

Hi girls, so I have just suffered an Eptopic at 6 and a half weeks. I had surgery on Friday. They removed my left tube and also found a blood clot in my tube also. During surgey they checked my right tube and they have said "the right tube doesnt look that good" when asked to explain, they said that it doesnt look like a smooth road. I gather they mean that I may have slight scarring (maybe from PCOS) or that my tube isnt all perfect and straight. Anyone heard of this before????

I am 5 days post op and still feeling really sore and sorry for myself. The doctor has basically said that when Im ready we can start trying again. I am so scared of having another eptopic and going through this all again.

We have been TTC for over 3 years and my first pregnancy has ended in the eptopic - Im so devasted and heartbroken.

Any success stories or anyone been told the same thing about there remaining tube.

Im so in need of some advice and support - I feel like im falling to peices :(

Alana I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you all the best for the future :hug:

Oh alana I am so sorry for your loss. Sorry to say that I dont have any advice for you.

Maybe you could see a fertility specialist instead of your usual doctor?

Alana
I'm so sorry hun xxx
My first pregnancy ended as an ectopic and I lost my left tube...and I was told my right tube was 'dodgy'...hence the years of fertility treatment...but this miracle bub...that we've waited 10 years for...happened all on it's own...and DH was home for one weekend the month this little one was conceived...so I guess you never know? I had lost all hope but DH kept believing when I couldn't...thinking of you xxx

noooooooooooo alana,

i truly believe that you will have your little bub soon, i can relate to ttc for such a long timeandthen to have your bub ripped from you was be gut wrenching.

join the misscarriage and loss forums they helped me a great deal.

big big hugs

alana- I am really sorry to hear you have been through this. I experienced similar in March this year....lost my right tube and was told my left tube is dodgy/in bad shape, with some adhesions and scar tissue etc...was therefore told IVF is our best option for a baby...so we started treatment a few months later once I had recovered.

I send you a big hug - I remember feeling so shattered at the time- I was sad I had lost our baby..and I was sad/devastated at the apparent loss of my ability to conceive naturally. Plus I was sore and recovering physically etc.
I did heal and move forward though, emotionally and physically. It takes time though. There are many emotions...sadness, grief, anger, wondering why, resentment...

I'm sorry I can't say I'm now pregnant...sadly I just had a miscarriage after our second IVF treatment...but we have to remain hopefully that our turn for a baby will come...and yours will too! It's also hard for others to truly understand...so really look after yourself and surround yourself with those who care about you

also, there is a chance we could conceive naturally through one 'dodgy' 'not too good' tube... it happens! - just look at Ellie's case...(amd Ellie, that certainly give me hope!)
DH and I are now waiting to resume IVF and trying naturally in the meantime just in case of a miracle...

I'm so, so sorry it ended this way :kissing:.

Its not over yet - you WILL have a little bubba in your arms one day xoxoxoxoxox

Thanks so much for your replies and support girls.

Ellie your story has given me much hope, and good luck with your bubby

Possums thanks for all the information and sharing your story, I wish you luck with your IVF and hope you get your BFP soon

Thanks again XXXX
