Fuck fuck fuck I thought my IUD had shifted but I'm fucking pregnant and it might be ectopic

[SoHotADragonRetired]

I thought my IUD had shifted from a bad coughing fit and I was getting bad crampy pains so I went to the hospital. They did a test and I'm fucking pregnant. And it might be ectopic. Fuck fuck fuck. I only had my period two weeks ago. This doesn't make any sense. DH is at home with our DC and I don't know whether to call him. Fuck.

I've had the shock of my life. I'm shaking.

Hope it goes well today.

I really hope you get some answers today

Hope you get some answers today

You are in such a tough position, take some time to look after yourself- whatever the outcome is, it will take some getting your head around, as well as physical consequences.

Thinking of you

Hi OP I went through this last month, try not to panic, you've picked it up early. I ended up miscarrying almost immediately. I ended up getting my IUD changed.

I hope you get some answers today

Hope all is well OP

Yeah, so it's not viable. My HCG is dropping and I'm miscarrying. Probably the most likely outcome and the "simplest" in some ways, albeit a miscarriage is always shit physically and mentally.

Thanks all for your support.

I honestly don’t know what to say to you. I’m sorry you’re going through this x

So sorry you are having to cope with this. I’m sending hugs to you. Best wishes for a quick recovery. X

I'm sorry. It's such a strange feeling to fall pregnant when you're actively avoiding pregnancy but to feel a bit of grief too. It's a strange feeling, I hope you're ok xx

I'm so sorry, you have been through such a rollercoaster these last few days. Be gentle on yourself and give yourself time to recover.

Just want to say thanks again to those who were a handhold to me on this thread through a very difficult short period. The heavy bleeding and cramping has kicked in now which is always fun.

An ectopic pregnancy, a termination and another baby were all horribly daunting prospects but in my secret heart of hearts I wanted the pregnancy to be viable, because unlike any of the other options a baby does bring joy alongside all the hard work, financial challenge etc. I can cope with a miscarriage - it isn't my first - but there's no denying it's just grim all round.

Saw my very sympathetic GP this morning who is going to sign me off for a couple of weeks. Oddly my boss is also very sympathetic to pregnancy stuff even though she's been quite impatient with the bad chest infections I've been suffering so I'm getting a real mental respite, which is helping. I'm just trying to accept whatever my feelings are at the moment and take time for my own physical and mental health.

Very sorry op.

Take care, that's a huge amount to process

I'm just trying to accept whatever my feelings are at the moment and take time for my own physical and mental health.

That’s definitely the best thing for you right now. I’m glad the GP and your boss have been understanding and sympathetic. I hope the physical pain of the MC isn’t too bad. Take care of yourself.

Thinking of your DH too
