Hi everyone,
I suppose I am just looking for some happy stories/support and a bit of a trauma dump.
I am just at the other end of a very traumatic ectopic pregnancy experience. First ever pregnancy, cycle 2 of TTC so we were elated it happened for us so quickly, only to start bleeding at about 4 weeks. Two very long trips to A&E bleeding and in pain, but refusal to scan me because I wasn't yet 6 weeks and was diagnosed with a threatened miscarriage. I'm not sure if it's because it was my first pregnancy that they thought I was being overly worried?
Fast forward to 2 days later, excruciating pain like I have never felt before on my left side, vomiting, feeling like I was going to pass out from pain, and my third trip to A&E finally got me a scan at 5+4 and found a sizeable ectopic in my left tube that had ruptured, and emergency surgery to remove the pregnancy and tube. It was traumatic, painful like I never would've imagined, and I felt just very dismissed and not believed.
While DH and I are looking forward to a break from TTC and to let my body fully recover, there is a little itch in my brain about whether we will be able to have kids in the future. So any positive post-ectopic pregnancy stories out there? Many thanks in advance.
