2 Ectopics

. I must have spent hours scouring this page for help or hope so hopefully now I can offer it to someone else.

3 years ago I had a positive pregnancy test and bleeding. GP said it was a miscarriage and would sort itself out. Thing was I had no pain. This would have indicated the ectopic. When I nearly passed out in front of my year 7s I ended up in a&e. Ectopic pregnancy. Left salpingectomy. Heartbreak. Nearly a year later another positive test and more bleeding again no pain. Ectopic again. Methotrexate this time and all the fun of an injection in the bum and trying to direct the school show without moving too much. At this point I really don’t believe we will ever have children and my husband is looking up IVF choices.

Then in July last year positive test no bleeding. Lovely trip to epac. Tube is clear but no heartbeat. We are told to wait 12 days and go back. 12 agonisingly long days later and we see a little twinkle on the screen. A heart beat. I was petrified something else would go wrong the whole way through my pregnancy but my gorgeous baby girl is now 6 months old happy and healthy.

There is hope. Even when you think there isn’t. Don’t give up.
