In November 2023 I was diagnosed with an ectopic in my left tube, surgery was needed and my tube was removed. Possibly the worst thing emotionally and physically I have been through. I was positive as doctors told me I could still get pregnant with the one tube and that it looked ok. Come June 29th 2024, something wasn’t right I was experiencing pain and abnormal bleeding, so my doctors ordered an urgent ultrasound. From what the sonographer said I had more fluid than she would like in my pelvis but didn’t mention anything about my tubes or uterus I also didn’t know I was pregnant. I get sent to the gynae ward, where they assessed and told me I was pregnant, this was a shock, because the pain was getting worse they rescanned me and just mentioned about all the fluid. Not once did they mention about seeing anything in my tube like a pregnancy, or anywhere for that matter. Anyway I was rushed straight to theatre, I said please if you can save my tube. Woke up the next morning and it had been removed 
she showed me the picture of my fallopian tube and the state it was in. I just don’t understand how they couldn’t see any of that from the scan. I’m just completely numb, I can’t have a baby naturally now, having to relive everything all over again in the space of 7 months is heartbreaking. Obviously I know I can have IVF but that’s a whole other journey of uncertainty, worry. I don’t know if anyone has experienced anything similar but I feel so alone and numb right now
Dear chloe,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy losses. To experience one loss is difficult, dealing with multiple losses and the loss of both tubes is heartbreaking and my heart truly goes out to you.
From your own words, I can only imagine how frightening and upsetting this must have been for you and I am so sorry you are having to go through this.
After everything you have been through, your feelings are completely normal. Please be kind to yourself and allow the time needed to grieve and heal both physically and emotionally.
We do hear from people who have sadly had both tubes removed and gone on to have successful pregnancies via fertility treatment. When you feel able please speak to your medical team or GP for referral.
We will be here for you for as long as you need,
Sending much love and gentle hugs,
