A double ectopic pregnancy
A double ectopic pregnancy
on the 9th January, i had an emergency surgery called a laproscopy which meant I had an ectopic pregnancy and they removed my left tube. The drs said my right tube is healthy, my ovaries was fine and nothing more to worry about. I was recovering at home weeks later. I had no partner and no intercourse with anybody.
And now, on the 16th February I was rushed into hospital with severe pain, heavy bleeding and found out that i was having another ectopic pregnancy in my right tube and will need an emergency operation to remove it. They removed my right tube along with the ectopic, I lost two litres of blood and had to have a blood transfusion.
I am confused how this could happen? Has anybody ever been through something like this or heard of a story like this.
I am only 25 years old, they have taken both of my fallopian tubes so I will never be able to kids naturally again. My question is, is it possible to have another ectopic pregnancy 6 weeks later without no sexual intercourse? Or its possible the doctors missed something the first time?

I didn't want to read and run.
So sorry you're going through this. Sending massive hugs. To get answers, i would also make a request under the General Data Protection Act 2018 to access your personal records.
Really hope you get the answers. Sorry i couldn't be of that much help but just know this board has an amazing group of women that will listen and give you support. I've had a lot of support from here since my loss with our first pregnancy.
Take care.
Xx

Re: A double ectopic pregnancy
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancies and losses.
Sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your query, however it does sound as though you may have had a bilateral ectopic pregnancy. Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is rare and may occur in 1 per 200,000 pregnancies. As they are so rare, we have little information on them.
If you are sure you have not had intercourse and have concerns about your care or feel something may have been missed, I would advise talking to the Patient Advice Liaison Service (PALS) at the hospital you were treated at. They can review your medical notes and you can ask questions such as was a detailed examination of your right tube carried out the first time in January, to ensure nothing was missed.
I am so sorry you have had to go through this, my heart truly goes out to you and we will be here for you for as long as you need.
Sending much love and warm hugs,

Re: A double ectopic pregnancy
I was thinking about getting PALS involved but I still don't want to believe this has happened to me.
