Hi, I just posted a query on the main board so thought I may as introduce myself etc. I came off the pill about a year ago (July 09) I was on cerozette and had no periods which Was part of the reason I wanted to come off. My periods after were very irregular, me and my Boyf want children so when I came off the pill we stopped using any other methods of birth control. Although we weren’t using anything we were being very casual just waiting for it to happen not really thinking about it. So much so that when I fell pregnant it was a little bit of a surprise. Mainly down to my very irregular periods. We were obv chuffed to bits tho. For one week we were very happy, then on the Sunday I started to hav a bit of a brown discharge, which I’m sure you are all familiar with. I read up on bleeding in early pregnancy and convinced myself it would be ok I even skim read articles on ectopics thinking ’ no way not me’ I had no pain or discomfort so thought I was safe and worst case scenario I might have an early miscariage I got an appt at the doctors on Monday and she sent me to a&e who referred me to the epau the next day. I went to the appt and to be honest it’s all a bit of a blur, I was very early, the docs dated me at 7 weeks but I think I was a bit less, they couldn’t see anything in the scans or an internal scan, I had a week if bleeding/ discharge, scans, blood tests and waiting waiting worrying… My hormone level dropped a tiny bit then rose a tiny bit. I was admitted into the epau for emergency surgery on the Saturday and had it on the sunday
the whole time I had no pain until a tiiiiny bit on the sat nite at hospital. Just constant light discharge. So that’s it, my baby and left tube are gone and now I have to try and make sense of it all. My boyf has been amazing, although I think he is getting a bit fed up of my moodiness now but I am just starting to realise what has happened. Everyone seems to think I’m physically healed now so everythings ok, it’s not. I still don’t even feel physically back to normal. I have to say the hopsital and my gp were amazing and I’m so lucky to have been seen quickly and efficiently especially as I had no pain. I’m so thankful to them all for making this experience as bearable as they could…
