Just wanted to say that I think it’s great that you’ve added this new board to the website. I had a miscarriage 18 months ago at 11 weeks pregnant after an ep a year earlier and I was truly devastated as it had taken so long to achieve the pregnancy with only one tube in the first place. I would have been posting on here all the time if it had existed back then and I’m sure it’ll be a huge support for those suffering a mc now.
Well done and thank you for providing such a great and thoughtful service,
Yep, it’s a great idea. In a lot of ways a m/c is easier to deal with than an ep because of the physical side of things, but then repeat losses of any kind I think get more difficult to deal with mentally… when I got pg last time, I was sure it had to work because it felt like I’d already been through more than my fair share of grief with ttc and other things too, but the world unfortunately doesn’t work like that!
I first started postning the the EPT board in 2002 after my EP. I haven’t even been on the board in years, but today I decided to come back and have a look. I even had to re-register, as my old user name was gone!
MY EP was followed by a miscarriage, the birth of my daughter in 2004, then two more miscarriages and then the birth of my second daughter in 2006. I am one of the very lucky ones with two healthy girls now.
The EP Board was the most caring, understanding and helpful place I could ever have imagined after I suffered the ectopic, and I am not sure how I would have coped without it. But I always felt a bit out of place posting about my miscarriages, even though the EPT Board felt like home to me.
From someone with expereince on all fronts, this is a terrific idea. Thanks.
Hi Izzie - It was great to see your name front and centre when I logged on!
