- Replies: 1

My story... I had an ectopic pregnancy in November 2020 which resulted in surgery at 5 weeks +6 and the loss of my left fallopian tube. I was devastated. Whilst I was blessed to already have a beautiful baby girl who was 9 months old then, I wanted more children but it had taken well over a year to ...

@Viain Just saw your post and wanted to drop you a note to say I hope you are doing OK... As OK as you can be in the circumstances. I understand how devastating and heartbreaking this must be for you. I had an ectopic just over 13 months ago and a miscarriage since. We're still trying but it's been ...

Hi @Charlyg The length of time it would take to conceive with only one tube (or if it would happen at all) was what really worried me after my ectopic last November, particularly as I'm 39. After recovery and 2 periods we started trying again in Feb and I was pregnant after my 3rd cycle in April. Ir...

@becky-b I didn't rupture with my ectopic but was showing signs of it happening soon and in the space of 3 days between blood tests I'd gone up from 1039 hcg to over 3500. I was almost 6 weeks pregnant. It was 11 days after surgery when I started to bleed and exactly 6 weeks from the day of surgery ...

Ladies I completely understand how you feel. My ectopic was in November, the baby was almost 6 weeks and the consultant said it had a strong heartbeat and blood supply. In the 3 days between my bloods being checked the 1st and 2nd time, the hcg levels had more than trebled. It always plays on my min...

@lauraleelee Same here. My ectopic was mid-Nov 2020, I lost my left tube too and we're also trying again. My post ectopic bleed didn't start until 11 days after surgery, then my first proper period was exactly 6 weeks after the operation, my 2nd in Jan was a 25 day cycle and my 3rd last month was a ...

@shelleytracey Day 21 blood tests are used to check if you ovulated that month. If you have a normal 28 day cycle and ovulate around day 14, your progesterone levels will be at their highest on day 21. If your cycles are longer than 28 days it might be better to do the test a few days later. I had t...

Louise0908 Your story is heartbreaking. What you've had to endure, particularly 3 losses in the last year or so is more than any woman should have to suffer in a lifetime. My story is a bit different. I was in my 30s when I met my hubby and over 35 when we got married and started trying. It took aro...

Hi All My ectopic was in mid November 2020 and I lost my left tube. I wasn't offered any post-surgery follow up appointment. It was 11 days later before my post surgery bleed started and my first period arrived exactly 6 weeks after my surgery date. I've read that periods often arrive 6/7 weeks post...

Becky & everyone else, I feel your pain. I'm 39 and had an ectopic mid-november 2020. Our baby would've been almost 6 weeks at that stage and had a strong heartbeat. I lost my left tube in surgery and whilst I know it's possible to fall pregnant again in time with one tube, that's the worrying p...

Dot2Dot I had my ectopic surgery mid-Nov and lost my left tube. I had no spotting but I bled on the 11th day after my surgery which I assumed was the post-op bleed mentioned. It was just like a period and lasted 3 days followed by a few days of end of period like spotting. My first proper period arr...

Hi there I had my ectopic 6 weeks ago today and lost my left tube. I had no obvious risk factors other than my age (39)... And when I mentioned this to my consultant the morning after my op before discharge, she didn't seem to think age was a factor, which I found strange as it's listed in the liter...

Reading your story makes me so sad. At a time when you need the support of your husband more than ever, he has let you down badly. You are not a failure, it is him who has failed you. The black and white approach is common to men in general, I think. After my operation I was devastated about losing ...

Thanks for sharing. I had my ectopic 6 weeks ago and lost my left tube. I pray that I will have a success story to share with everyone some day. I'm being as positive as I can but I'm also 39 so time isn't on my side. You conceived again quite quickly though so that gives me hope!

When my doctor's surgery took my bloods initially at 5 wks + 3 pregnant they were 1039 but 3 days later they were taken again at the hospital after my scan to confirm a miscarriage, and they'd more than trebled to 3,500. I was asked to come back in for a s...
