Ectopic pregnancy with copper coil
Ectopic pregnancy with copper coil
This is my first time writing on a forum and I feel very unsure of everything
Lasr Friday (24th August) I found out I was pregnant even though I have the copper coil implanted for over a year. On Sunday I then discovered I am ectopic.
Tuesday 28th - my HCG levels had gone down to 77 from 100, so the doctor advised I let it pass by itself as I have been in little pain and haven't been bleeding for a week.
Today I noticed small amounts of brown blood- just on the tissue and slight period like cramps!
I am worried there has been a change- even though the pain is intermittent and goes away with over the counter medicine!
I am feeling very alone and confused at this time- as obvs I wasn't trying for a baby so I went through complete shock, relief like at knowing it wasn't a viable pregnancy and now I feel absolute heartbroken at what could have been and guilt over everything.
I also feel like I just don't want to leave the house and feel super tired all the time.
I am also worried my tube could still rupture
Sorry for my ramblings! Anyone had a similar story? And words of advice!
With thanks
Re: Ectopic pregnancy with copper coil
Last year I had an ectopic pregnancy with a copper IUD. I went to the ER about a week after I found out I was pregnant with slight bleeding and cramps. They weren't able to give me a certain diagnosis, but because it was an unplanned pregnancy, I decided to do an exploratory surgery where they were able to confirm that it was ectopic and remove the pregnancy. You know your body best, so if you are worried about something definitely discuss it with your doctors.
It's strange to feel heartbroken over something you didn't want in the first place...I felt the same way. It is still a traumatic experience and loss that you will need to grieve and I hope you'll allow yourself to do that.
I'll be thinking of you <3

Re: Ectopic pregnancy with copper coil
All i would say is if you are worried ring your GP or go to a and e, i visited twice before i knew i had ruptured.
Im paranoid at every little pain now since the surgery, i have pain in my left hand side (ectopic was in my right tube) when i wee and slight back pain so now have it in my head i have a water infection so im going to ring my GP
Let me know how you get on
Re: Ectopic pregnancy with copper coil
Dana your words and encouragement mean a lot!
Oh god- you ordeal sounds horrific, I do hope you can fully rest and recover now- please keep us updated on your healing
I am now bleeding like a normal period , but without pain. I am due to go back on Tuesday for blood work- I think I will ask for a scan just to check everything is okay!
Feeling much stronger today but I think the hormones are making me very up and down
With love xx
