Re: Partner Won't Try Again

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and I do know that you are right and his readiness is outside of my control. I think the biggest struggle is that he just isn't communicating with me about it. I have tried to get him to open up but that seems to wind him up. I'm trying to give him...

Partner Won't Try Again

Hi everyone My ruptured ectopic was back in November and my husband has openly admitted he was more scared for me than upset about the loss of our baby. Since then I have got to a place where I would like to start TTC but my husband is reluctant, I think because he is worried about me and what might...

Re: Who was my baby?

Thanks so much Karen and Stephy. My instinct has decided a gender and there is a name i can't get out of my head so current thinking is just to embrace that and remember her that way. Even though I know she may have been a boy!! People are asking me if there is any way the histology could mean that ...

Who was my baby?

Hi everyone. I'm struggling with something quite specific in amongst the trauma and grief I think I am trying to process. How did people deal with having such a strong emotional connection to their baby despite the early gestation alongside not knowing anything about them e.g. their gender/their nam...

Re: Struggling to cope a week post op :(

I'm so sorry to read your message and for everything you have been through. I too had an ectopic pregnancy which ended in emergency surgery 3 weeks ago and the loss of a tube. I understand the devastation you are feeling. Things to remember: This is not your fault. There is still hope for a successf...

Physical Recovery, up and down!

Hi all It is 3 weeks since my ectopic surgery and removal of my tube. Also involved 3l blood loss, transfusions etc. Physically until this weekend I've been feeling not too bad, very little pain and not too tired but today I feel like I have been knocked for six and wonder if this is normal or if I ...

Re: Confused about my Ectopic Experience

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me. Even knowing there are options other than a scan before 6 weeks is very helpful to know e.g. blood tests.

Early Pregnancy Unit Follow Up

Hi everyone I've been told I will need to visit the EPU in a few weeks after my surgery for a follow up and to do a pregnancy test. Sorry if this is a stupid question but nobody really explained to me what this is for? The doctor said it is possible that I could still be pregnant and they may not ha...

Confused about my Ectopic Experience

Hi everyone A week ago today I went into hospital for my first antenatal diabetes clinic (I am type 1 diabetic). I was almost 6 weeks pregnant and had been having bleeding and pain but nobody could do anything as it was too early for a scan. Later that night I was rushed into hospital by stretcher w...

Re: Ruptured Ectopic- emergency surgery

Hi Our experiences sound so similar, main difference being I think that I did know I was pregnant. I totally feel the same in terms of the trauma. I'm really anxious, have had flashbacks about the moment i got rushed into surgery having been resuscitated. I just thought I was going to die, I lost 3 ...
