Hi, That was me in 2019. Very similar experience although I did not realise I was pregnant until I was in the back of an ambulance realizing what was going on when they asked if I was pregnant.

Been there, not a club I want to be a part of, but feel like I can definitely give some advice. Almost the same thing happened to me.

Being open and talking to my partner and friends who have gone through miscarriages helped me feel less alone. I'm two months post op. I h...

My first pregnancy (7wks) was ectopic too. I had surgery at the beginning of December and lost my right tube. I'm 3 weeks post-op and physically I've improved a tonne. It is super hard to sleep and emotionally I think I'm getting worse. Still trying to process everything. The main thing that has hel...

I had an emergency laparotomy to remove my pregnancy and right tube 3 weeks ago. I was about 7wks and didn't know I was pregnant. Physical pain is okay and I'm managing with neoproxen and the occasional tylenol. Since then I have been struggling emotionally more than I thought I would. My main probl...
