A little over 2 weeks ago I had to have emergency surgery for an Ectopic Pregnancy. Still recovering, I’m just really sad and scared about my future. My doctor said that my tubes looked fine, she made the incision in my right tube and I was able to keep it. I am worried about moving forward and it happening again. Most specifically if I have any scar tissue or it just happening again in general. I try to concentrate on healing and staying positive, but I feel all alone. I had never heard about this before and I still don’t understand why. I feel like it’s a daily battle in my mind. I am so glad I found this site. If anyone one has any advice I am all ears, please!
Hi Selena, I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s such an ordeal especially when it’s your first pregnancy. The best thing you can do right now, I believe, is to take really good care of yourself and gently keep moving (physically) to reduce adhesions from surgery. It’s good that both tubes looked good and that your Dr is good, but all the good and happy information doesn’t stop the nervousness, as you well know!
Hop on the April TTC thread when it starts in a week and you’ll get lots of support for the journey. We’re all in this together- albeit terrified! We keep track of one another’s progress and scans, especially getting a super early scan to check for ectopic.
The other advice I would give you: as you begin to work through your grief you’ll have occasional good days. Make the most of these! Even if you feel happy for only half the day do something lovely! It’s a good way of balancing out the sadness.
Take care xx
Thank you so much Chez23! I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement! I am just getting back online, took a break because I was getting so upset about my situation and everyone else’s. I just joined the May board! Thank you so much!
