I’m still yet to have a follow up with the hospital as the keep cancelling and re arranging. 9 months on and I’m still yet to speak to the consultant in regards to exactly what they did and what my future now holds. It’s frustrating they keep cancelling, I’m always thinking of the what should of been 
Hi Amy97,
Following an ectopic pregnancy can be a very confusing time and brings up so many emotions that we may not have expected. You have suffered physical and emotional trauma, and right now, it is so important to look after yourself. It’s important to remember that there is nothing you did to cause or could have done to stop an ectopic pregnancy. Every woman is unique, we all process it in different ways. Some days are better and some days are harder. Over time, the initial feelings may fade, but we don’t forget. Your well-being is the most important thing right now. these boards are full of men and women who understand the challenges of ectopic pregnancies.
I found that journaling was a way for me to get my thoughts onto paper, helping me to make sense of my emotions and to share them with friends and family. The Trust also believes that talking therapies can be of great help. You may want to speak to your GP for a referral and a look into counselling or to contact 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 know that these boards are here for you, any time, to share or to vent for as long as you need.
With good wishes,
Michele
