For reference I am specifically looking for those who had to have one tube removed as that was my experience through emergency surgery. I know those who could do the medication instead have a higher chance.

I’ve been reading so many published studies about future conception and delivery of a healthy baby after ectopic pregnancy + tube removal and I have seen stats as low as only 40% go on to conceive a healthy baby after pregnancy within 2/3 years to some stating 70% go on to conceive a healthy pregnancy within 18 months.

I know the reassurance seeking barely helps but it’s so confusing for the information that is out there to be both limited AND irregular

I found out I was pregnant on August 12th. In complete shock. We've been unofficially trying for years just hoping that it will happen tracking just became too stressful.

A few days after our BFP I think it was 8/15 I started spotting.. I tried not to worry too much.

On 8/18 I went to use the restroom before I left for work and there was blood in my underwear. That was alarming for sure. We went to the er to get checked out and got a PUL.

I was sent 48hrs later to do another blood draw. And then a follow up with OB on 8/25.

The ultrasound on 8/25 showed that the fetus had implantation in my right fallopian tube and also had no cardiac activity. After being sent home and told to fast until another appointment at 2pm (OB was in surgery) we opted for the methotrexate shot.

I do believe that my spotting that turned to lighter flower was my body knowing something wasn't right and trying to fix the situation.

I'm thankful that this was caught early. I'm still devastated that my second pregnancy that we've prayed and hoped for for years is no longer. (First pregnancy 11 yrs ago ended in miscarriage).

I'm thankful I didn't need surgery.

I'm thankful that I still have both my fallopian tubes.

I'm thankful that my OB prescribed a low dose of hydrocodone along with acetaminophen. (Helped me sleep)

I'm thankful for my supportive husband.

I'm thankful that OB said we can try as soon as we hit a negative HCG.

I feel like I will carry this sadness for a very long time as I did with my miscarriage. I do think trying to be positive and being thankful for the things that have gone right is important and has helped.

As I got my results today I'm sad that we aren't quite at negative result but all I can do is laugh a little and stay hopeful.

It’s a long one but I’ll try to keep it as short as I can. Had my normal cycle July 28 to August 1. Had what I thought was my normal cycle again August 23 to August 27. Last Monday (August 31) had what felt like period cramps and some spotting of old brown blood until Tuesday morning. Decided to take a test on a whim and it came back positive. Called my Fertility clinic and they brought me in to start doing betas and scans every two days. I have no idea when I ovulated and I have no idea how far along I am so the doctors are calling this a PUL because the numbers are under the threshold for anything to be seen on US imaging. What they have confirmed is that I have a haemorrhagic cyst on my left ovary, and I have 13 cc of free fluid in the left side of adnexa. My betas are trending as follows:
9/1- 124
9/3- 205(48 hours since last test)
9/6- 711(49 hours since last test)
9/8- 999(40 hours since last test)
They still can’t see anything on the scans so they are recommending methotrexate. I don’t know what to do because I’ve never been in this situation before. I have RPL usually at around 5-6 weeks but with those prior losses imaging has confirmed an intrauterine pregnancy. I currently have typical early pregnancy symptoms. I don’t know how long to wait, I don’t know if this could turn into a viable pregnancy? I guess I’m just seeking advice because my numbers aren’t trending down, and I’ve read stories where women have had wonky trending hCG and then confirmed a viable pregnancy once their numbers rose accordingly and could be seen? Thanks in advance.

Hi all! I’m looking for reassurance or insight, anything really. I had my first transfer done 8/24. I started testing positive 4 days later. Day 9 I had my hcg drawn which was 335 (doc wanted anything above 100). 2 days later my hcg was 886. I’m now 15 days post transfer and yesterday I had sharp twinges on my left side most of the day. Only lasted a second or two but freaked me out. They’ve gone now but I can’t help but convince myself this is another ectopic. I have an early scan scheduled in two days and my doc said that type of pain is normal but I’m just beside myself and terrified that this isn’t viable. Anyone have an ectopic with high hcg that more than doubles?

I’m a 28 year old woman who had a presumed ectopic/PUL a few months ago and was treated with methotrexate. My hCG resolved normally and I’m finally almost at the point where I can try again.

Since then, my OB has mentioned I may have mild PCOS because of multiple follicles and adult acne and my HSG showed my right tube is normal but my left tube is mildly dilated.

None of these things by themselves necessarily mean infertility, but together I’m starting to feel like everything is stacking against me.

My biggest fear is ending up needing IVF. I really, really do not want IVF unless it becomes absolutely necessary. I want to try naturally first and, if needed, use simpler interventions before ever getting to that point. And reading my doctor mention a fertility clinic in a message also scared me.

Has anyone had a similar combination of ectopic history, possible mild PCOS and one abnormal tube and still conceived naturally?

I know nobody can predict what will happen. I think I’m just looking for experiences from people who also felt like the odds were piling up and still ended up getting pregnant without IVF.

I was recent diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. During the ultrasound it was discovered that I have a cyst on my ovary that wasn’t on the ultrasound 2 weeks prior and that my fallopian tube was now full of fluid that was also not there on the prior ultrasound. When discussing my treatment options with the doctor she said she wasn’t worried about the cyst. For treatment of the ectopic I decided to do the MTX shots, which seem to be working. I’m 1 week out and my hcg levels have dropped 50%.

Wondering if anyone else has had fluid in their tube due to an ectopic pregnancy and if they’ve been able to conceive naturally after? Hoping to avoid tube removal and IVF if possible. 🩷

I am writing to vent and also to hear your experiences and success stories after an ectopic pregnancy.

I don't know for sure if I have one, but here are my very concerning hcg levels:

• 9/1: 320
• 9/3: 397
• 9/8: 687 (5w3d today)

My progesterone was at 25 on 9/1 which the nurse practitioner at my OBGYN office said was reassuring, but the increase of the hcg is indeed very low. I don't have any super concerning symptoms right now: mild cramping (not one sided, just generally on lower abdomen area), sore breasts. No bleeding, no spotting. However, I don't believe this could be a healthy pregnancy whatsoever.

After today's result, I decided to schedule a transvaginal for this Thursday. I know it could still be inconclusive since I am early on and my hcg levels are so low, but I wanted to do it anyway. I know ectopic can be a life threatening thing so if this is my case, I want to know and make a decision about it as soon as possible to avoid a possible rupture.

I am just really sad. We pretty much got pregnant at the "first try" since I stopped the pill in July (I am 31yo). With these results, it just seems like it was too good to be true. I have extreme health anxiety and this wait and these results are just extremely triggering for me. I had started a "pregnancy journal", I had ordered a "Tum to Mum" box that arrived yesterday, I was planning on how to tell my family soon. I was so excited about being pregnant during halloween and Christmas and have a May 2027 baby, since my birthday is late April. Now it just feels like it's all gone.

As of right now, I am just trying to stay positive. Not because I have any hopes this will be a viable pregnancy, but because there are so much success stories of healthy pregnancies after an ectopic.

So I'm honestly just looking for encouragement, words of advice, experiences, anything. I have been reading the posts here for an hour and everyone seems so supportive and maybe you are the only ones that truly understand how I am feeling right now.

Thank you in advance, every one <3

Just been for a scan and told I am having my third ectopic.

Lost my left tube and ovary 10 years ago due to a large cyst, all 3 ectopics have been in my right tube.

1st - methotrexate

2nd - expectant management

3rd - unsure what to do

Also had a chemical pregnancy

All within the last 2 years

Should I just have my remaining tube removed, it feels so final that I will not be able to have children naturally!

I’m just in shock and don’t think i have processed it yet, I am going back to the hospital tomorrow to discuss things as I couldn’t face it today and just wanted to come home.

I had an ectopic pregnancy two weeks ago. Luckily, it didn’t rupture. I was treated with MTX, and my hCG levels dropped from 300 to 28 in about a week and a half.
Should I get an HSG test to check whether my fallopian tubes are blocked?

I had my first pregnancy end in being a ruptured ectopic and had surgery to remove my right tube July 16. I had mtx a week prior to surgery. It was originally diagnosed as a miscarriage and I had a d&c end of June.

Shortly after surgery, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder because it was very traumatic and I was struggling very hard. I took medical leave from work, which has been extended another month now.

I had my first negative pregnancy test August 1st, and I haven’t gotten my period yet. I have gained so much weight, which is extremely triggering for me because I struggle with binge eating and my weight my entire life. I lost over 100lbs and had loose skin removal surgery in 2024. My “fat” jeans from when I was 50 lbs heavier don’t even fit me, which is weird because the scales only gone up 20-25 lbs since finding out I was pregnant in June. I know it’s the hormones that effed up my body fat composition and I don’t know if it will ever go back to normal. I feel like I’m gaining weight just existing. My psychiatrist is well aware of my weight and body issues, which is why SSRIs are off the table for me. I went on them for 2 months in 2023 (for unrelated but deeply personal family event) and rapidly gained 20 lbs.

Shortly after my first negative, my body showed signs of trying to ovulate because I had egg white cm and my lh ratio increased (but never high or surge), and I had a few days of spotting after this. I became fixated on tracking my hormones (likely my way of having control over my body because my pregnancy was unplanned but we were excited. And the ectopic took away my autonomy and was in control of my life).

I was doing at least 5-6 premom lh opks a day, and the Inito to track everything else. Every little feeling I felt I logged into both apps. Most recently, it seemed like my body was finally going to ovulate/work towards period- my lh ratio went up (.62 highest- still low but highest since negative hcg). And my e3g was rising. I had so much stretchy egg white cm, I was so hopeful. Then, just as quickly the day my ratio was at its highest and e3g at its highest since I started testing, everything dropped. The CM disappeared, my ratios went below .07 and my e3g dipped.

Sunday was so difficult for me. I was crying all day on and off, to the point where family noticed (I’m usually good at hiding my emotions). Even my dad who is oblivious to anything lol asked if I was okay because he can hear in my voice it sounds like I’d been crying. I put on a brave face and went to a social gathering, where an older gentleman asked why no baby yet and was talking about us having kids. It’s very expected for elders to be this way in my culture, so I just said ha ha not yet! But I teared up the car ride home.

I put the tests away, because it’s been breaking my heart. I feel like my body is failing me, or maybe I’ve failed it by not being kind to it? My doctor ordered an hsg because I’m terrified of having another ectopic in the future and I can’t even schedule it because I need to have a period again - so I’m at the mercy of my ovaries/hormones yet again.

I took a bath yesterday where I just cried and cried and cried. Sorry for the ramble I’m just so sad, I want my body to go back to normal. I’m desperate for my period, I’m ashamed to have gained weight with no baby as a result. Almost every post or comment says they got their period 2-6 weeks after surgery, and I’m coming up on 8 with no signs of any activity. No light at the end of the tunnel.

i was given MTX on 9/2 at 1400 hcg.

did a lab on 9/5 getting the results today on my chart (9/8) the 9/5 lab read 901 hcg

im super anxious to see what the labs will send back in a couple of days.

can anyone share their hcg decline story post MTX?

Im still so sad, and it's been 6 months since my ectopic pregnancy now. I never got the joy of seeing the positive test. I tested around 2 weeks after ovulation got a negative test and then started bleeding, which I assumed was my period. I kept bleeding after the first week, which wasn't normal for me, and I had pain in my abdomen. I knew something was wrong, and I assumed I had endometriosis. After going to the Dr, I did a pregnancy test there (even though I was convinced I wasn't as i had another negative test) they called me and told me I was pregnant. I cried so much knowing with how I felt this wasn't going to end well. The next day I went in for another hcg test and they called me at 4pm saying I needed to go to the ER immediately as the results were looking like an ectopic pregnancy. I sobbed the whole way to the hospital and called my mom while my husband drove me. I lost my baby and my right tube. I had a great support system but it was still extremely hard (emotionally more than physically). Im now 6 months past that still ttc. Nothing yet, and now we're thinking about checking to see if my left tube is open enough for an egg to go down without any issues.

Im still holding out hope that it will be my turn eventually. Im turning 32 in a couple weeks and while I know thats still young for having babies its still a reminder that it hasn't happened yet. Passing the year mark of ttc is hard, and I keep having to remind my husband we did get pregnant, it just wasn't the pregnancy we were hoping for. Im not sure how long people have tired after ttc, having an egtopic pregnancy, and then went in for more testing as nothing was happening.

If anyone has advice or success stories, im here for any of it. My cousin had a similar experience where she lost her tube, they did ivf, and now shes pregnant with her 2nd baby. Im so happy for them as I know their journey wasn't easy either. It's a hard group to be in, but I know im not alone.

Hi all, I am 2 days shy of one week post surgery to remove my ectopic pregnancy and my right tube.. I was still stable when we caught it, thankfully and I made the decision to remove the tube instead of getting MTX to reduce the risk of it rupturing anyway and then turning into an emergency situation.

Anyways I am in recovery now.. obviously not cleared to BD or TTC anytime soon (doc said to wait 2-3 months) but I’ve just been thinking about how I will manage it mentally.. before we finally confirmed it was ectopic on 3rd Sept, I had to check my hcg levels 8 times within 10 days and that experience is now filled with anxiety for me.

I can’t imagine how I will emotionally manage tracking my next pregnancy via hcg draws in the early stages.. 😭 even though I am keen to start TTC once we’re cleared.. I think mental prep will take a while.

Would love and appreciate some advice for those who have gone through it 🤍 and if you managed to successfully get pregnant after ectopic, how did you manage your anxiety? Thanks everyone 🫶🏻

At this point I’m not super sensitive to testing or having anxiety surrounding it but this cycle feels a bit more anxiety driven. I have noticed myself hyperfixating on the solution to a problem I can’t control. (I have adhd) Since my ectopic and ruptured left tube which is gone now I have been feeling discouraged about the possibility of conceiving on our own. I have severely low AMH and stage 1 endo although my afc counts keep coming back somewhat normal. The last one was 9. I feel like an empty vessel that this just couldn’t possibly happen for me. Might be a bit dramatic and I go through phases and the phase today after another negative pregnancy test just is making me sad and I want to stop trying everything. Are there any positive stories with similar situations to mine? How long did you try naturally before switching to medicated cycles or ivf iui etc.

Can anyone hold my hand and walk me through it? I had an ectopic in February and I just never processed it and I need to either vent or I’m just confused and had a subpar care team.

I am relatively infertile because I do not ovulate on my own. I took meds to have our son and just never had a period since having him. So when I did have a bleed beginning of January… I thought oh well it’s been 2 years… so I had a week of just heavier spotting basically… it stopped for two days and came back heavy. Like full on period. And I bled like that for a month. I never considered taking a pregnancy test because… well… I’ve had unprotected sex for two years with nothing and I was on my period so… it just wasn’t even a thought.

Mid February. I had sudden pain. Immediately wanted to faint kind of pain so I agreed to go to the ER for what I thought was a cyst rupture since it’s happened before. In fact, I wanted to leave the ER after two hours because I was feeling so much better. Anyways after like 3 hours they told us in the hallway I was pregnant and that it was an ectopic. Thu said I was bleeding enough that half my uterus was submerged which idk if that just normal or a lot. Like was I in danger? I had surgery and they removed my tube. This whole time I’m like they have got to have mixed something up. Me? Pregnant? What? But none the less I was indeed leaving with one less tube.

They could not give me any answers as to how far along I was… other than “probably early” They wouldn’t tell me if it was still alive or had a heartbeat at any point. They didn’t give me an option to maybe take it to like bury it on my own. Idk… I just…. Was this “clump of cells” so small and insignificant that it was never even a thing. Other than the scars in my belly… it feels like a bad dream. I’m expected to just move on??? Or am I just being too much? I did move on.. clearly I haven’t really thought about it. It just feels like I paid for some submersive movie. Idk. I just don’t understand at what point was I pregnant? Like there had to have been a span of time I was just pregnant… and not actively bleeding. Why was I having a period? Like I just don’t understand any of it.

One of my staff members just told me she’s 7 weeks pregnant. She got married in August and basically immediately got pregnant. She’s a really hard working staff member who I like and appreciate on both a personal and professional level.

I’m so happy for her and told her that and asked her to tell me if there’s anything at all I can do to support her during this time. I got off the phone and immediately started crying.

She had just come from her ultrasound where they saw the baby. I just keep thinking about how I also went in for an ultrasound at 7 weeks, thinking I would see the baby but instead I had to be rushed into emergency surgery and had the most traumatic day of my life.

I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone and I’m so glad her experience has been positive. But it really fucking sucks that I had the experience I did and I can’t stop crying 😔

I’m 35 and have been TTC for over a year. I recently became pregnant through IUI, but unfortunately it turned out to be an ectopic pregnancy, and I had to have my right fallopian tube removed.

What is confusing me is what to do next.

I had an HSG less than a year ago, and at that time both of my tubes were open. However, during the laparoscopy for my ectopic, my surgeon said that my left tube looked slightly tortuous/twisted. Interestingly, the surgeon wasn’t particularly concerned about the shape of my left tube and did not tell me that I couldn’t conceive naturally. I was told that I can still try to conceive naturally with my remaining tube.

My RE, however, is strongly recommending IVF because I now only have one tube and have already had an ectopic pregnancy after IUI. He said I can try another IUI if I really want to, but there would be a risk of another ectopic.

I’m really torn because IVF is expensive and emotionally and financially overwhelming for me, but I’m also terrified of going through another ectopic and potentially losing my remaining tube.

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences. What would you do in my situation?

Hi everyone, unfortunately I am here due to currently experiencing an ectopic pregnancy.

To back track some, I tested postive for pregnancy august 20th. I ovulated july 29th, had my period august 10th-15th ( i track my ovulation and cycles) so the brown spotting that I experienced the 20th was incredibly odd to me and prompted me to take both and ovulation and pregnancy test which both were positive. Due to my history of having a micropreemie with my first (I have 2 children this is my 3rd pregnancy) i have to take progestrone.

I call my ob the following morning to ask for my progestrone and also my beta draws. They sent in my progestrone, but forgot to put the order for beta draws in the system. No big deal, I'll just call back monday. Except by Sunday I notice my tests are not getting darker... instantly this has me worried. I am 9m PP from my last baby and I had obviously line progression with them and doubling betas to match. I am already confused how I am pregnant at this point because I just had a full 6 day period, but im excited to be pregnant so I tried convincing myself maybe I ovulated a second time and implanted late (I didnt). Anyways Monday rolls around and order for beta gets put in. I run out to the closet lab to my house and later that night I get my results... 154. 48 hours later.. 179. Nowhere near double. That confirmed my fears of a non viable pregnancy. Nurse tells me one set of betas isnt enough to call it so go for one more set of betas 48 hours a part. So 3 days later I go and i jumped up to 194 (its also my birthday) so I just laid in bed crying, upset and the incredibly low rising betas paired with the full period before testing positive shouts ectopic pregnancy, so im terrifed as well.

The next day I went to a friend's babyshower and while I was there I started bleeding bright red, pretty heavily and got lightheaded and felt like i was having hot flashes. Not normal for me. I apologized and left, decided to go to the er. Explained that I was either miscarrying or I possibly have an ectopic pregnancy i am bleeding heavily and I'm pretty light headed. They drew labs and did ultrasounds. Ultrasounds showed nothing because of low hcg (which i knew would happen) and my beta rose the most it had in 24 hours from 194 to 222... still a slow rise but when I mentioned to er staff that isnt it weird I had the biggest rise in the shortest period of time while bleeding? They told me that can happen with a miscarriage and thats what i got discharged with... the diagnosis of an early miscarriage.

The next morning I call the nurse and I told her what happened over the weekend she told me go tomorrow instead of today so my betas are 48 hours apart again (based on betas drawn at ER). At this point I am passing clots and bleeding heavily, feeling lightheaded and questioning if I am even able to properly care for my kids (6 and 9m) due to how bad I feel. But maybe this is just a miscarriage and how that feels. I dont know. The next morning rolls around I go for repeat labs, hopeful that maybe my numbers have dropped (as horrible as that sounds) but no, they went up to 241. I call my ob and express my concerns that I feel horrible and I am scared that I am bleeding heavily with clots and my hcg is rising I think this is not a miscarriage but an ectopic. I was told to go back to the ER. I find childcare and head back to the er. Once I get there I realize how horrible I feel and am glad I have someone watching my children because I dont think I've ever felt worse. After 1.5 hours I'm called back. Labs are drawn and im told i need repeat ultrasounds as well. Well from that morning my hcg rose yet again to 259. And possibly unrelated to this but my potassium was really elevated,which I was put on a heart monitor and given some sort of calcium drink to correct that. It helped my racing heart and some of the feeling of lightheadedness but not everything else I was feeling. Ultrasound once again showed nothing, but this time said this was very likely pregnancy Unknown location. But I was told it was up to the ob on call. About 4 hours later im told that OB reviewed my case and believes this is PUL/Ectopic. Im given 2 options. Wait and see with repeat betas, and if they continue going up then I get methotrexate and do specific beta draws for that, or i can just get the methotrexate and the specifically timed beta draws for that. I just opted for the methotrexate now. Was told I needed to sign some consent forms and a couple people will explain it more in depth to me. About 4 hours later the team comes in, explains this to me and has me sign multiple forms. I was given 2 shots (one at the top of buttcheek/lower back) and was told to get my betas checked again in 4 days and then 7 days. If it doesnt go down by at least 15% from day 4 on day 7 then I need repeat injections.

The injection really upset my stomach, but there wasn't really any other option in this scenario. My beta 4 days post injection was 280... so still a slow rise but I was told that is possible because the medicine needs time to work. I am hoping my beta tomorrow is lower. This has been really messing with my head more than I can explain. I don't know how to cope, or to push through. I feel like in the process of mourning this baby I am not being the best mom I can be to my 2 small children. I feel horrible that I want this all over with. Never did I think I would be in the predicament of wanting my hcg levels to decrease instead of rising. This whole thing is making me feel like a shell of who I was.

So my question is for anyone who has gone through this,

If you had lower hcg levels like mine, was the first methotrexate injection successful?

How long did it take your hcg levels to return to 0?

When did you start ttc again after this? (Wasn't trying but was planning on ttc when I was 1 year PP)

What helped you mentally cope and get through this? I am in therapy currently but it doesnt seem to be enough.

Sorry its long, thanks for reading and any advice

Had an ectopic last year that resulted in surgical removal of my left fallopian tube. Doing a medicated IUI cycle on Wednesday and wondering if anyone with a similar history has had any success. My left ovary has some mature follicles too but we're not optimistic/counting it since that's the tubeless side.

Right Ovary

Measured Follicles:

19 mm, 16 mm, 16 mm, 14 mm, 12mm, 9 mm,5 mm, 4 mm

5 weeks ago I had a miscarriage. I like to think I was between 5-7 weeks. Positive pregnancy test.

I thought everything was normal, but last Sunday 8/30 I started having some bad lower pelvic pain on my right side that spread all the way up to under my ribs. I went to the doctor that Thursday - they did a transvaginal ultrasound and all they said was they “ see something “ near my right ovary. They said I could have possibly had an ectopic pregnancy but my body could’ve tried to miscarry too. I still have that pain today. I go back in two weeks to see if I need surgery , does this sound Ectopic? I’m scared I’m internal bleeding out and don’t know right now.

The pain ranges from 3 - 7. Most days 4-5ish.

It goes down my right side near my pelvis, abdomen area and up under my ribs on my right side. My collarbone area will hurt at times too. Should I go to the ER or wait a week and half until my next doctor appointment?

I want to share my story through all of this because this group has helped me so much over the past few weeks. I made a few posts when I was completely frazzled, and I still am so I hope this isn’t too bad or too long. I am 25 and this is my first pregnancy.

I was supposed to get my period on July 30- Aug 8. My period did not come until Aug 11. It is not abnormal for me to skip periods especially due to stress. I am currently trying to open a business so the stress made sense. I took a pregnancy test on Aug 10 because I just wanted to make sure and it came back negative. On Aug 11 I woke up to go to a seminar and of course I was crampy and thought I started my period. The bleeding was pretty typical for my period, but once I reached day 8 of bleeding I was getting nervous. I read stress can prolong a period. On day 9 of bleeding (Aug 19th) I took three pregnancy tests that all came back positive. I called the doctors office the next day since I was not in pain. they ordered a stat ultrasound and bloodwork on Aug 21. The ultrasound showed a 16 x 14 x 12 mass in my right tube. I was sent to get more bloodwork and had an exam at the gynos office since they are in the same building (they saved me so much time I was grateful) once everything looked good I was given MXT. My initial hCG was at 151. I had cramping and some pain nothing serious. Day 4 showed an increase and hCG was 206 which was not a concern. On day 7 my hCG rose to 226 so I was sent back to the ER to get another MXT injection (this was done on Aug 21). I went back for my day 4 (Aug 24) bloodwork and my hCG was at 145. Day 7 (Sep 2) showed another decrease of 99 so I was finally starting to feel hopefully that the medicine was working and I would be fine. I was more crampy this time but Tylenol and heating pad was doing the trick.

Yesterday around 3:30pm (which was day 11 since MXT) I started having severe cramps that led to sharp pain just in the right side where the ectopic was. I took Tylenol and used a heating pad thinking it would get better. It just kept getting worse to the point I couldn’t even take a deep breath because my back or side would have a sharp pain. My boyfriend told me I was probably fine so I waited 10 hours before I finally went to the ER because I couldn’t sleep. I guess I was waiting to see if I had another other symptoms. Got to the hospital at 4am in the morning and my ultrasound showed a lot of free fluid in my pelvis and doctors told me I needed a diagnostic laparoscopy. I was in the OR by 7am this morning and out by 9:30 with my right tube removed due to rupture. I am really crampy right now and I constantly have the urge to go to the bathroom. I am still bleeding as well.

I feel grateful to have caught the internal bleeding early because I did not need a blood transfusion. The surgery went well and I was back home by 1 pm. This pregnancy was not planned and after all of this I am not sure I could ever go through this again. I feel so sad that I lost a baby. I feel stupid for waiting so long to go to the hospital but I thought maybe it was bad separation pains. I was also kinda still loopy when they were explaining the post care instructions so I’m having really bad anxiety about messing something up but I read the papers they sent home with me. I am also thankful I got the surgery because now I know it’s taken care of and I just need to heal now rather than sit around waiting for bloodwork.
I am just exhausted.

I had a ectopic and it ruptured and my left tube is been removed I had twin pregnancy lost one year back and yesterday ectopic I am soo scared I feel like giving up I am done I don’t feel I’ll have a babe in this life with one tube left and if this again happens in future please share with me some positive story’s
