I had an ectopic pregnancy quite recently. In November 2022 I had a fresh embryo transfer, got pregnant, started having severe wind pain in my womb and left side at 5 and a half weeks, then a bit of blood came out, so went to A and E, told them I believe it was ectopic, was made to wait for 6 hours, it was a weekend so no real docs around, I was told it was likely fine without being scanned. I saw a doc few days later they said it was a miscarriage after not seeing a baby in the womb and hcg going down.
At 8 weeks my hcg doubled so they said it was ectopic. I had methotrexate injection, I bled for 12 weeks, severe contractions throughout, told only take paracetamol that didn’t help. My point is it was traumatising. Knowing my tube could rupture the consequences, how life threatening it is.
March 2023 my ectopic ended. I had another embryo transfer in April it failed. I had another last month, it was a frozen transfer, I’m 4 weeks pregnant. Its great to be pregnant again but my first pregnancy is very in the forefront, always thinking about it, thinking about those symptoms. This pregnancy so far has been different like I didn’t have implantation cramping. I’m just very aware that ectopic happening again is more likely in women who had it before and with IVF. Saying that I know frozen transfers without stimulation drugs is less likely. Have NHS appointment at 5 and a half weeks.
Anyone who got pregnant again after an ectopic how did they cope?
