Re: Isolated

Hi Ausgirl1, I too struggled my ectopic pregnancies and felt very isolated, feeling that no one quite understood what I was going through, nor even I really understood what I was going through. At that time, I found that journaling helped me to get the thoughts out of my head and with time, I was ab...

Hi, The Second One, To answer your question, bloatedness is a reaction to the operation and the inflammation following this. The length of time it continues varies, but it should settle within six weeks. If it continues for longer, it may be a sign that you have some ongoing infection and you should...

Hi kayjayleo, I had my first ectopic in my right tube, and then the second inside my uterus in the stump of the right tube which ruptured my uterus. It was my left tube which allowed me to become pregnant. I know how emotionally challenging it can be, and I encourage women to take it in their own ti...

Dear Oneday 3, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss. It is normal to feel anxious about the future. We experience a mix of emotions from wanting to try again to being petrified of what may lie ahead. We never forget our babies, but we can learn to accept what happened. It is a sl...

Hi Kayjayleo, I'm so sorry you've had to go through these ectopic pregnancies and losses. They can leave us with so many questions, and it difficult when we are given messages of uncertainty from our medical staff. I too suffered two ectopic pregnancies and was diagnosed with "bad luck". A...
