Preparing For Your Next Pregnancy
1

Hello All,

I’m new to this site, i had an eptopic pregnancy in December, My partner and I want to start trying for a baby.

I’m scared incase anything like this happens again. I know it is best not to worry but I just can’t seem to help it.

I now only have one tube and I don’t think it will happen straightway!

Thanks

Vicki

Hi Vicki,

Welcome to the site. We are so sorry you have suffered an ectopic pregnancy and are here for you to answer any questions and share any frustrations as often as you want.

I totally understand how scared you feel at the thought of trying to conceive again. I was exactly the same when I had an ectopic pregnancy and lost my right tube. I know from all of the years I have been volunteering with the EPT that the fear is really common and really normal.

Much love,

EPT Host 13

Thank you very much,

Hey Vicki

Glad you found us. Just to echo what the EPT host said. What you’re feeling is completely normal. Most, if not all of us have experienced that fear.

The way I try to look at it is that i definitely won’t get pg if I don’t try so we may as well go for it! I lost a tube too but I’ve been encouraged to hear that it doesn’t affect your chances as much as you might think. The other tube apparently moves round to catch eggs, which is pretty amazing!

If you’re trying this month why not join the TTC thread. It’s a really supportive group of women.

Good luck!

Xx

Hi

I’m not new to the site but new on these posts, I had my ectopic in January, in our second month of trying again now but just feeling so frustrated and low again, feeling angry and upset, worry all the time that I have missed my chance but then my body plays tricks like sore boobs, trying to stop myself thinking ooo maybe, as I totally know it’s not as I’m due next week and I know boobs can hurt before period,

I just feel like screaming!! Emotional rollercoaster is not even close, feel all your pain on here, know how you feel xx love to all

Please don’t give up ladies…I had a nasty ectopic a few years ago treated with two shots of methotrexate … Leaving we with a blocked tube.

The good news is a year later I did conceive and I am now a mum to a healthy 2 year old

Best of luck
