Myself and my partner wanted to post a success story after having 3 ectopic pregnancies.
My first ectopic was in 2007 in my left Fallopian tube, this was treated with methotrexate and I was told I had a 10-15% chance of another ectopic, I’d never heard of ectopic pregnancies so I was shocked but glad the odds were on my side.
Fast forward to 2018 I fell pregnant in February, remembering my previous ectopic and my chances of it happening again were slim I wasn’t too worried, until the brown bleeding started.
After an early scan this ectopic was located in the right tube. Devastated, I was treated again with methotrexate and sent home.
I then had a hycosy in May and the results were all fine, my tubes were patent and they told us it was ‘just bad luck’
September 2018 I fell pregnant again, I couldn’t believe we had been lucky enough to fall pregnant twice in a year, but in the back of my mind dread was setting in. A week or so later I started to bleed again. This time bright red then into brown blood.
I knew deep down this one was ectopic too. And a scan confirmed it was located in my right tube.
The consultant decided that my tube needed to be removed along with the pregnancy right away. So that afternoon I was taken into theatre and my right tube was removed.
After the surgery the surgeon came
Round and said my right tube was in a bad way and they took the whole tube but my left one still looked okay.
I then had a second hycosy done in December 2018 to be told again that my remaining tube looked ‘fine’ it was patent and it was ‘just bad luck’
I broke down at this point, I’ve never felt so low in my whole life. I’d lost 3
Pregnancies to ‘bad luck’?!
It was the festive period so I put on my brave face and went to most of my social engagements and drank… a lot!
My period was expected on the 31st December, I had sore boobs but this was pretty normal for the day of my period.
By the 2nd jan my period still hadn’t arrived. My cycle had been all over the place since the surgery in September so I didn’t think I would be pregnant, but I had 1 pregnancy test left in my cupboard.
The test came back ‘pregnant’
Sadly my immediate thought was ‘oh ****’ when I showed my partner the test, he said exactly the same.
Could we do this all over again?
We should have been jumping for joy that we were pregnant. But instead we both didn’t know what to say to each other.
I rang the EPU and they got me in for blood that day, then again 2 days later.
They said my blood had doubled and it was a good sign. But i had that with my previous one so I wasn’t holding my breath.
We had a scan booked in for 5 weeks 3 days. Expecting them to say they either couldn’t see anything yet or it was in my remaining tube.
Only for them to say that it’s in the uterus and I have a sac and a yolk!! It’s not a ‘viable’ pregnancy yet but I didn’t care. We had finally done it, it got to the uterus!
I had another scan this week as I’m a massive worrier and I felt like my pregnancy symptoms had nearly disappeared.
I’m pleased to say at 6 weeks and 2 days we have seen the heartbeat!
It’s still so so early and many of our family and friends don’t even know we are pregnant. I’m praying that this little bean will be a sticky one and our ‘bad luck’ has gone!
I just wanted to give someone some hope. When we were going through the hell that is ectopic pregnancies last year we were both searching for success stories after so many ectopics and I can’t believe we are now one of them!
Sorry for the long essay but I just want to wish you all luck. It’s a horrible horrible thing to go through, my heart aches for us all. We will never forget the babies we have lost. But never give up hope for the future! Love and prayers to you all 
great news!
