Ectopic pregnancy and negative emotions

Hi all,

I found out 2 weeks ago that I was pregnant and was delighted as we had been trying for 6 weeks.
I found out the following week that it was an ectopic.
my dr suggested letting it go naturally (but that would take weeks and my tube could still rupture at anytime) or surgery to (hopefully) get the embryo out and save ny tube. There is still however a 1/5 chance my tube will be taken out as I can bleed too much.
i an struggling to figure out what to do. Am leaning towards surgery as I want it over and done with and i am feeling very uncomfortable on my right side and bleeding regularly throughout the day. Could anyone reassure ne with their experience of surgery?

Also, I am feeling very down and negative about the future. I feel like we will not be able to conceive and if we do, that it will happen again. I am feeling a lot of sadness and negative emotions regarding all this. Just wondering if a few of you have gone on to have healthy babies? How long did it take?

thank you in advance.

Hi .. how are you feeling now ? Were you able to make a choice in the end.. did anyone discuss methotrexate with you or was that not an option ?
It's awful and lonely to go through this. Sorry for the loss and the horrible negative thoughts that come along with it but hopefully the future will be bright..
I seem to be in the same situation.. Well pul .. with rising but not doubling hcg.. bleeding and backache..

Good morning Qwn,
In the end my HCG levels were rising so my doctor advised me to do the surgery and they took my right tube out. It was really hard and upsetting but 5 weeks on I am feeling much better physically and mentally. I am sorry for what you are going through and I hope your doctor will guide you in taking the best decision for you to be able to move on safely. Although still really hard, It gets better, I promise.
