Hi, I’m coming here as don’t have anyone to talk to that understands how Im feeling. I found out my pregnancy is ectopic yesterday and have to go back tomorrow to check my hcg levels and have the injection to terminate. I just can’t stop crying and hate the thought that my baby is alive just not in the right place. My partner is being great but think it’s difficult for him to understand. He says we can try again but I wanted this baby
I wouldn’t say it gets easier but you come to terms with it. It’s been six months since mine and it’s still a struggle. People expect you to get over it. You won’t. And it won’t be easy but life keeps going. Your husband is probably just trying to say the right thing. He won’t, no one will. There is no right thing to say. I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s s#*t.
Thanks really appreciate your response. It’s helpful to hear from people in the same boat. I’m sorry for your loss too xx
Any other questions don’t not hesitate to ask. I found it hard to come to terms that I was grieving, but we are and it’s totally ok.
Thank you
Dear Amskeets84,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss.
When we experience ectopic pregnancy we are suddenly faced with a life threatening emergency and it’s treatment, reduction in fertility, concerns about the future and the loss of our babies. Experiencing any one of these is an ordeal, putting them together is immense and your feelings are completely normal.
As you have been through such a devastating experience, it will take time to come to terms with what has happened. This is normal and please do allow time to grieve.
If you require any further information on your ectopic pregnancy and methotraxate injection, please do not hesitate to ask.
It is very difficult to come to terms with what has happened but from the bottom of my heart, there is nothing you could have done to prevent the ectopic pregnancy.
Please be kind to yourself, 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,
Karen x
