Hello Anastasia.

I am here with you, after ectopic pregnancies. My last tube was removed one week ago. I know how much it hurts. And all these emotions - anger, sadness, grief, disbelief, fear, unfairness, self blame etc. I know and understand you. At this moment i am a mess emotionally. Physically I can already walk and shower, but I can’t do anything important at home. I can not imagine how I will return to my job. It is very difficult, very, very. I hope that you will find something that suits you.
Sincerely, Maiiriite

Hi Anastasia27,

I am so sorry that you have suffered an ectopic pregnancy and loss. While going through an ectopic pregnancy and loss is not something anyone wishes, these boards provide some comfort to know that you are not alone in the experience. I am so sorry of everything which you have been through, and know the scary situation that is an ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

Your surgery was just a short while ago, and I hope you are continuing to look after yourself. Experiencing an ectopic pregnancy is a huge ordeal and you are in the early stages of recovery. Your body needs time to heal from your surgery which is in itself a grueling task. You have also had to process the loss of your baby and been through an immense rollercoaster of emotions - all of this will take time to come to terms with.

You should take it very easily for about six weeks after surgery. Your body will be using its energies to heal internally. It is normal to feel physically and emotionally exhausted during this time and please do be kind to yourself. Recovery can take time and some days will be better than others, one day you maybe ok and the next you maybe in discomfort or more emotional. This is perfectly usual and the healing process will go back and forth in this way for however long you need. It is important to listen to your body’s signals and pain and feeling tired are your body’s signs to tell you to rest. We suggest keeping a healthy balanced diet, drinking lots of water and resting. Once your wounds have healed, very gentle exercise such as a short walk can help, but please do take this slowly.

Importantly, help is available with future pregnancies with an early scan at around six weeks gestation. This is to check that the embryo is in the right place and we suggest contacting your local EPU direct to book this in when you next become pregnant.

Be kind to yourself, allow time to grieve, to heal both physically and emotionally,

Michele

Hello,
Firstly I’d just like to say I am incredibly sorry for your loss.
I am very much in the same boat as you, I was about 7 weeks pregnant when i found out it was ectopic.
I had shooting pains down my left side and started bleeding. I also had surgery and had my left tube removed on the 17th April 2025. Like you, I am still recovering, still crying on and off too, so I’m sending you big hugs as I completely understand what you are going through both physically and emotionally. :cry:
I too was so excited to have this baby, as was my partner, and also like you want to try again in the future, but I’m terrified of having the same outcome again.
I can’t offer any advice right now, but I can offer a shoulder and be someone to go through the healing process together, its nice to know sometimes that you aren’t alone in these situations.
Please take care of yourself, and I wish you all the luck for the future :two_hearts:
