2 years ago today I was discharged from hospital after having had a horrible 5 or 6 weeks as a result of an EP. I had to have 2 doses of methotrexate - the first didn’t work, the second started to work but a couple of days after finding that out I collapsed and had to have emergency surgery to remove my left tube. That Christmas and spring was horrible - I had never been so desperately low.
14 months later and pregnancy was still a sore point - I cried when I heard of friends’ pregnancies and I convinced myself I would never get pregnant - but I was also getting on with my life, doing interesting stuff and putting the experience behind me. Then unexpectedly I found out I was pregnant. The first week was horrible - I was convinced it would be another EP. But it wasn’t, and I’m writing this with my month old baby in my arms.
I hope that anyone reading this who feels like life is never going to go back to normal and never going to result in pregnancy takes some comfort and hope from it.
That is such wonderful news and we are over the moon for you.
