Second ectopic - this time in the stump of removed left tube
Second ectopic - this time in the stump of removed left tube

Re: Second ectopic - this time in the stump of removed left
I just wanted to reach out as literally the same thing happened to me in May! First ectopic was in July 2018 where the left tube was removed and we waited until April to start trying again. Got pregnant straight away but it was in the stump of my left tube. The consultants at the hospital did get it wrong as they thought it was inside the uterus wall and so opted not to have surgery. I had methotrexate when my hcg was over 8,000. I then ruptured four days later. I refused surgery as I was scared (with it being inside my womb) they would be taking my womb out or a part of it! The consultant said it wasn’t in my womb! Went for surgery and lost 3 litres of blood. Was kept sedated over night in icu. The surgeon said I was lucky to be alive and I definitely feel lucky in that sense. She explained that the first time was bad luck but the second time was definitely a technicality which shouldn’t really happen. I’ve been totally stitched up on that side now so the only way to conceive is via my right tube!
I don’t know what the answer is as to where we go from here. I’m hoping to try one more time before going down the ivf route and I’m hoping it works out. I’m taking my time to recover though as my body has been through a lot over the course of a year. I do have an appointment to consider my ivf options in October so I’ll let you know what comes out of that.
Congratulations Flossie, I hope things go well at your scan! Please do keep us posted!

But I was getting myself all worried about the scan tomorrow, but my husband said we had basically been given another chance as we were expecting to loose my other tube last time. So the fact we are pregnant again is a miracle and whatever the outcome tomorrow at least we tried just one more time, If we hadn’t, I would of forever thought ‘what if’ x Hugs to us all girls xxxxxx
Re: Second ectopic - this time in the stump of removed left
I also feel the more you want something the further away it goes so I’m trying to stay positive but take everything in my stride what will be will be and there’s not much I can do to prevent it from happening again!
I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow! Good luck!!!

Re: Second ectopic - this time in the stump of removed left
I am so sorry you are suffering an ectopic pregnancy and loss once again. My situation was very similar in that six months after my 1st ectopic, and removal of the right tube, I had a cornual ectopic pregnancy in the right stump. It ruptured, and they were able to "evacuate" the ectopic pregnancy.
It’s very normal to have worries about trying to conceive. Many feel that way; I did and still struggle with it. A year after these two ectopics, I did go on to conceive naturally and to term. I received early scans (at 6 weeks), which helped provide reassurance, and was closely monitored throughout the rest of the pregnancy. The physical recovery was more swift than the emotional recovery, and it took me a long time to be comfortable with trying to conceive after these two ectopic pregnancies (also my first times ttc).
We are here to support you however we can. I know it can feel nerve-wracking to continue down the ttc path. There's no set timeline for recovery from an ectopic pregnancy. It can take some time and is very individual. If you feel that it may be useful to talk to someone, you may want to speak to your GP for a referral and a look into counselling or by contacting your local Mind centres.
We can also arrange for you to speak to someone on our helpline at the number below. Many find it of comfort to speak to someone who has been through the same thing and we can support you alongside the Counselling. You will also find more information for support on our website: http://www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/emotional-impact/
Please do look after yourself and sending our good wishes,
Michele

Re: Second ectopic - this time in the stump of removed left
I have gone through the same exact thing. I had a ruptured ectopic in my right tube in August and had surgery to remove it. 3 weeks ago I had a cornual ectopic on the same side and had surgery to remove it with the corner of the uterus.
This is such bad luck but I cannot believe that I am not alone in this. Thank you everyone for sharing, it does help knowing I am not alone.
