Hi everyone,
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I never thought I’d be a forum user but I wanted to say ‘thank you’ as I have already found a great deal of support and comfort in the posts/forums on here already.
After 3 frozen transfers of IVF we finally had our positive result which, within days, turned to a suspected early loss or ‘failed pregnancy’ and now an ectopic. I’m having the methotrexate injection in the morning and wondered if anyone had any words of advice?
Had to sit with all of the pregnant mums in the ultrasound department last week which was cruel and terribly painful. I’ve been feeling ok and had accepted the early loss but am so upset after finding out this was an ectopic pregnancy as it would have been fine if in a different place and it took us so long (6yrs) to get to this point. Just feel like I’m even further back than we were due to the impending 3 month minimum wait.
Sorry to go on, just wondering if anyone is out there who is/has been in a similar situation.
Wishing everyone the very best. Thanks.
Dear missprince82,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss after everything you have been through. My heart truly goes out to you.
I haven’t been in your situation with IVF treatment but I have had methotrexate for ectopic pregnancy and I can fully understand the frustration of having to wait 3 months after everything you have been through.
Above all you mustn’t blame yourself, sadly there is no way to prevent ectopic pregnancy from happening. Please be kind to yourself and allow time to grieve, to heal both physically and emotionally.
We will be here for you for as long as you need,
Sending much love and warm hugs,
