Hi there, I have posted this to ask you lovely ladies your wise advice and thoughts on what I am going through at the moment.
In January I had an ectopic on the right that was treated with metho.
In may a miscarriage very early.
In June a lap and dye which showed both tubes initially didn't let the dye flow but eventually did.
In September a ruptured ectopic in the right tube.
I am absolutely devastated and exhausted from all this but as I am sure most women do, I am looking forward to the future. I have decided that for the rest of 2012, I am going to rest, get back into a healthy eating and exercise routine. But I am thinking about what to do next.
- I am absolutely petrified of having another ectopic on the left and losing the left tube also. Leaving my only option for conception IVF.
- I am thinking about trying IVF (I am prepared to do this privately) before trying naturally, I know you may think this is strange but I thought if I could conceive using IVF for the first child. Then in a few years time I may be strong and brave enough to try naturally for a second child.
What are your thoughts on this? I have not discussed any of my thoughts with my consultant or had a consultation at a clinic yet. I have discussed with my husband and family who are all agreeing that they will support me in whatever decision.
I know time is a healer and in a couple of months I may feel different but at the moment I am so upset and frightened that I think I need to think so carefully about the next steps
Thanks for any input or advice
Katty
