I’m sat here nearly 2 weeks post op for ectopic and I am beside myself, I’m trying to be strong and trying to be positive but I am so hurt, angry and utterly heartbroken. Myself and my partner have just been through our first round of IVF for the BFP and then 2 weeks later this. I just want to scream and punch something. My partner is so understanding yet I long to scream and shout with someone who has been there and understands properly, I know this is selfish! Is what I’m feeling normal? How do I move on from this? I know these are vague because everyone is different but I just wanted to get things off my chest!
Keep talking about with people who understand. Use the helpline too if you need it. It’s such a nightmare but slowly you do emerge into a new normal. It’s natural to feel this way but honestly it won’t always feel so raw but most of us have had angry or sad or just days where you think this will never end. You’re not alone but you’re surrounded here by people at different stages of the journey. I was discharged in Dec, and ended up in pieces after 7 weeks of treatment. I burst into tears doing the simplest task like changing my number on telephone banking. I couldn’t see how I’d ever care about my job again. My life had been turned upside down. But finally I’m feeling back to myself. I was diagnosed in October/discharged Dec
Give yourself time. Your brain needs rest and compassion to get over the shock and disappointment
I feel for you, it’s utterly awful.
I have just posted my story on here, as I fell pregnant after successful IUI treatment.
I know our stories will be different but at least we can all try and understand how each other is feeling to see if what were feeling is ok.
Sending love xxx
