Ectopic then miscarriage

Preparing For Your Next Pregnancy
1

Hi all,

Thanks for sharing your stories. I had an ectopic in July 2020 that was treated with two rounds of methotrexate. I waited three months to try again, and I conceived immediately but promptly lost the pregnancy. We aren’t sure if it was a chemical pregnancy or another ectopic that self-resolved. I am not sure where to go from here, but it is comforting to know I am not alone. So thank you for sharing your most personal and difficult experiences with strangers. It means more than you know. I will say a prayer for all of you tonight, and I wish you peace, comfort, hope, and love in 2021.

Dear Mpr521,

I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and losses. To experience one loss is difficult to deal with multiple losses is heartbreaking and my heart truly goes out to you.

Sadly miscarriages are more common than ectopic pregnancy and it is so sad that 1in8 pregnancies end in miscarriage. It is important to note that the ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage are not linked.

I have put a link from the miscarriage association about miscarriage and molar pregnancy here-

Unfortunately I am not medically trained so if you have any questions about your recent loss, I would speak to your GP.

Above all be kind to yourself and allow time to grieve, to heal both physically and emotionally.

Sending much love,
