Hello
I have recently had methotrexate and am bleeding quite heavily at the moment and still having blood tests done. Work starts again tomorrow and I’ve already said I am not in tomorrow due to me having hospital appointment. I feel totally in shock, exhausted a whole host of things and I can’t quite process that this has happened to me. I only found I was pregnant 24 hours prior to receiving news it was ectopic and something I never thought would happen to me. Has anyone got any advice for me as my partner goes back to work tomorrow and feeling a bit lost at the moment
I am one of the unlucky people who have had multiple ectopic pregnancies (this was our third, second time of methotrexate) so I have a little bit of experience having been through it before. I would say you should go with your gut feeling: if you don’t feel ready to go back to work then ask the doctor to sign you off and give yourself time to properly recover. On the other hand, I like my job so I found being back at work was actually a good thing because it gave me something else to focus on and a good reason to get up and put makeup on and get out of the house - because I find myself really struggling if I stay at home too much (which is basically all I have done the last 2 weeks :))
