- Topic: Coming to terms with ectopic after previous miscarriage
- Replies: 5

Hi, I had a miscarriage and then 6 months later an ectopic pregnancy. This was treated with MTX, which sadly failed, and then emergency surgery and I lost my tube. I then fell pregnant again 5 months after this. I was scanned at 6 weeks and they found my egg had come from the tubeless side and was i...

Hi, I remember all the feelings you describe. When I was having MTX and then surgery I went into strong mode and then as soon as it was all over I was broken. It took me a lot longer to recover emotionally than physically. I had counselling at my local hospital which really helped. I didn’t rush bac...

I also wanted to say you are not alone. After my Ectopic in 2016 I found things very hard. Going back to work and socialising with anyone other than my partner was a real challenge for me. I saw a counsellor and over time this helped along with keeping busy. I had also had a miscarriage before losin...

Hi, I also wanted to say you are not alone and I’m so sorry to hear what you are going through. I had a miscarriage in 2015 and an ectopic in 2016 (failed MTX and then tube removed). I ended up avoiding baby situations as I found them so painful. At the time this is what I needed to do to cope. I al...

Hi, I am also a teacher and had an ectopic in 2016. I also lost a tube after a failed dose of MTX. I found returning to school really hard but it did slowly get easier and I started to feel myself again . I wanted to share my story as at the end of 2016 I fell pregnant and I now have a lovely one ye...

Hi, I’m sorry to hear what you are experiencing. I know how hard and tough it is. I found out what side I ovulated from at my 6 week scan to check my pregnancy was in the right place. I’m not sure if you can find out before then. I’m still amazed my daughter came from my tubeless side- I didn’t beli...

Hi, I have just read your post and wanted to reply as I remember the feelings you describe. I had a miscarriage in 2015 and a ectopic in 2016. I also had a tube removed and I found this very hard to deal with. I had MTX before the surgery and after this failed was operated on. I also found some medi...

I reacted very similarly to you- I didn't want to go out and see people and found just being at home with my partner the only place i felt comfortable. I think unless you have experienced it is very difficult to fully understand the emotional impact of pregnancy loss. I had the same fears as you and...

Hi, I just wanted to share my experience as I found this website a life line last year. In July 2015 I had a miscarriage after falling pregnant very quickly. 7 months later I finally found out I was pregnant again but within hours I had brown discharge and pain. A few weeks later I found out my preg...

Hi, I had counselling after my ectopic and it was really helpful as I could say how I truely felt without worrying about the feelings of those close to me. At times I found it frustrating (I expected it to be a magic fix) but it was a life line for me and gave me something to focus on (and know I ha...

Hi, I am also a teacher (but secondary) and when I went back to work after my ectopic in May 2016 I had exactly the same feelings. My head was great and let me come back slowly- I did one lesson a day for a few days before going in full time. It was hard the first time I saw each class as they asked...
