Hello! So following on from my last post, after 1 try I’ve managed to fall pregnant, 11 months after my ectopic pregnancy! Whilst I am happy I am also very anxious!
I have an early scan booked with epu for November 10th and it can’t come quick enough. I’m already feeling all the pregnancy symptoms, sore breasts, feeling nauseous, exhausted etc! Also been getting a slight niggly pain on and off in the ectopic side (I was treated with methotrexate) so just wanted to ask 1 how to deal with the wait for the scan, I am a nursing student and on placement atm doing 12 hour shifts so already know that will be a struggle! And 2 has anyone else had that pain in the ectopic side and the pregnancy been successful ?
After an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured. I also felt twinges and aches after my ectopic pregnancy, particularly when I next felt pregnant. My mind started racing and I was only really able to relax to some degree after my early scan. It is a nerve-wracking time and you have friends here who understand how you are feeling. My pregnancy was successful and I hope this provides some reassurance.
Sending much love and positive thoughts,
