I had to have my right tube removed February 2016. I knew something was seriously wrong... felt like i waa dying. My mum had an ectopic when i was 8 years old. She nearly died as it went undiagnosed for too long, blood had flooded im to her lungs. She was in jospital 16 days.... so i had an inkling this is what i had. My GP -over the phone- didnt feel tje need to see me and said she doubted i had an ectopic! Took myself to hospital. Was told i look to healthy to have an ectopic. Said im a mum of 2, (well 4 counting my full term still birth due to medical megligence and 5 hours of an incompetent butcher of a mifwife refusing to help me, losing heart beat for 45 minutes amd tjem having c-section, bany died in my womb. That was 2001. 2005 had a baby girl c-section, natural home birth in 2014), dr refused to scan me. I could hardly walk, had shoulder tip, diaphragm.and rectum pain
diarrhoea, spotting and feeling like i wS literally dying. Sorry i repeated myself there, but it still haunts me. Had to beg for a scan. Dr said come back.in 3 days but again told 'congratulations, you're pregnant, you look healthy and you're period is only 10 days late its yoo early to diagnose . ' but i insisted. The idiot after leaving me alone for almost sn hour fi ally cameback and said that i could have one the following morning...Well, 840am appt, scan. Was told that there was a huge amount of liquid on my righti side. Sat me in a wheelchair and sent me straight up to theatre . Tjey said how was i still walking?! How did i even drive in? My partner made it there with my lil boy as i was being wheeled in to theatre . I was in shock, wailing amd scared i would die during surgery and not see my kids again. Petrified.... it was my disters baby djower tjat day (she ended up having hernaby om Valentine's day, 5 weeks early) so my eldest didn't know what was going on as dhe was there. So was i meant to be... instead i was near death, internal bleeding. I lost 768ml of blood. Amyways, i fidnt mean to write so much, and its tsken me ages to join cos im worried i will make others sad that i hsve children and tjey dont...people may wonder why this has effected me so much... i domt have nice easy periods anymore, 2 years of period pains. This month one of tje worst, all month leading up to it. Sometimes it reminds me of the ectopic pains. Ive never been so frightened in my life, worrying about my kids and surviving tje op have left their scars. I never ever suffered with period pains before. I feel hot and often anxious and sad tje last 3-4 days before my period starts. I can be irritable too. Not every month... Sore glands in my breasts though starting 10days before period.... i dont use prescription drugs unless i have to. What natural remedies do people use? My gp gave me tje weirdedt look about 6 momths after the op when i saud i still had discomfort. Said i was tje only petson she'd come across after an ectopic who 'complained' of pain post op. The ectopic was tbe hardest thing to go through after the still birth... no more babies here. Mybody feels messed up.
Thanks for your time
