Ectopic pregnancy and loss

[Possums]

Thanks for your advice and support. I am so thrilled for you that you had success, and from the right ovary! I can imagine your joy and relief.
And yes, I do see a naturopath and also have acupuncture- might as well get help from as many avenues as possible!

Hi Possums

I am so sorry to read that you have had an ectopic, lost your precious baby and your tube, it is a truly devastating experience.

I had an Ectopic in January 2005, it was originally misdiagnosed as a blighted ovum, i had a d/c and then a couple of days later another scan to reveal my little baby in my right tube. Sadly my baby was still alive and we heard it's heartbeat on the scan, i was sent to hospital and my tube ruptured shortly before theatre. I was 9w2d. In September 2004, I had a missed m/c as well. I lost my right tube and was quite sick.

I remember feeling just awful, grief stricken, guilty, sad and just unable to cope with minor things. Going back to work was horrendous, as i went back when i should have been starting mat leave for my the baby i m/c.

I also found that a lot of people just didnt understand, people wouldnt talk to me about the ectopic and they avoided me and said they were walking on eggshells around me.....to the point i got told to snap out of it.....I tried some counselling with some of the support groups available, but i felt i didnt fit in. I then had one/one counselling.....and it helped a lot.

It took a lot of time to start feeling better both emotionally and physically and reflecting back i think you can only take it day by day.

I started TTC 4m after the EP and i now have a gorgeous adorable almost 2 year old.........conceived with one tube. I already had 2 other children

I send you lots of support and hope that before too long you are holding your precious baby.
