Hi everyone. This is my first time posting. Just wanted to hear some thoughts from people in a similar situation.
My husband and I got pregnant the first month we tried to conceive. Ended up as an ectopic, needed methotrexate twice and then surgery because my tube was blocked. They were able to save my tube, but my risk of an another ectopic is really high on that side.
I’m so nervous to try again. So scared of another ectopic and another surgery.
Has anyone been in a similar situation?
I think you’ll find lots here in a similar situation! Sorry to hear about your ectopic.
My story: We got pregnant in the first month trying last year, but it was a missed miscarriage. We then got pregnant again last December in our second month trying, and then had an ectopic. It was treated with two doses of MTX, but then still ruptured and I had my tube removed. Now we’re in month 6 of TTC. I was nervous to TTC when we first started, but the fear is gone now. However, if I’m lucky enough to get pregnant again, I will be terrified that it is another ectopic until it is confirmed that it isn’t, and then I’ll be scared of miscarrying. I think that’s a given for all of us after having experienced an ectopic or a loss of any sort.
There are lots of stories of hope on this site. Read through some of the threads and you’ll find lots of stories. I hope it reassures you!
You’ll worry! No matter what. I’m now 13wk pregnant. I had methotrexate and ruptured and left tube removed. Had to wait till may before We started trying. August was our month. We got a scan at week 7 so they could see a heartbeat. I didn’t look at the screen till they said it was there. Then I cried. Then we worried again for Nauchal dating scan. NHS 75% chance of not getting a positive on Downs Syndrome test so we paid private and on Wednesday we finally got a reassuring scan which finally makes me think I can relax a little and try to start enjoying my first true pregnancy. I worried before got pregnant and I’m still going to worry. Lifes so scary. Just enjoy the time you spend together and what happens will happen at the right time. We also used. Clear***blue ov tests and I felt different time. No pains on the side just dull aches everywhere every so often but nothing constant. Good luck x x
