Hi, (sorry it’s long)
not sure why I’m writing on here or What to expect but I wanted to share my experience as when I was pregnant and concerned no one had the same things happening so might help someone.
Also feeling quite alone so would be nice to talk to people who can relate.
So I was one day late for my period (wasn’t try but wasn’t preventing pregnancy wanted to see what happens, both happy)
I did a pregnancy test it was positive but super faint line. Just thought maybe it was too soon. I had done a digital 2 days later and said “not pregnant” so I thought maybe it’s too early or not sticking. I did so many test all super faint in the space of a week. Had spotting every time I had sex or even if when I did BM. But just spotting not much ranging from brown to pink never in my pants just when wiping.
I went to gp with my concerns (5weeks pregnant) and did a pregnancy test there and it was negative. But I knew I was pregnant but something not right. (Gut feeling) my boobs were really sore and I had mild nausea on n off. Did another digital clear blue 2 days later and that said pregnant 1-2 weeks
I was going away and still concerned as I was spotting still after sex so wanted to get checked again. So 6+2 weeks pregnant saw gp cervix closed everything looked fine did swabs to check everything. I also did another pg test which came back as two very dark lines.
I go away the following day (10 day holiday abroad)
Everything is fine I feel reassured by gp spoken to midwife she said this can happen sometimes just keep an eye on it. When we had sex still spotting ranging from brown to light red. Sex did hurt so thought I was more sensitive than usual.
5 days later I go to the toilet and there’s red blood, very upset because I think I’m starting to miscarry. Achy back and pelvis not bleeding a lot no clots but more than spotting. Continued on n off throughout the day and my pregnancy symptoms went. So I thought I was losing my baby. Spent the next day in bed upset and achy cramps more on the one side not excruciating and still not bleeding a lot but more than spotting. It was red. (I never filled a pad) also the consistency was more watery than a period.
Come the following (Thursday)day feel ok just sad and spotting brown and sometimes a watery red/orange blood when wiping. On Friday I feel ok, just really achy back and right side not in loads of pain just uncomfortable. Friday night the pain gets worse n worse where I’m contemplating going to hospital. Pain right side of pelvis, right side lower back, down my right leg and stabbing pains up my bum. Coming in waves like contractions, building up getting worse. Sudden urge for a BM which was loose. Eventually the pain slowed down and I fell asleep. Saturday felt achy not in loads of pain still spotting and it’s watery and light red to brown colour. Sunday feel fine, no pain and no blood. Fly home early Monday so make a gp appointment so I can be seen by EPU on the way there pain starts again all on the right side again and down my right leg. Bleeding starts again red blood.
I get admitted to hospital so they can do further test and blood test and stay over night to be monitored.
Next day an external scan shows nothing no sign of pregnancy but test coming back positive. Do an internal scan and they see that the baby is in my right fallopian tube 😢. I have surgery the next day. Right fallopian tube removed.
Feeling very emotional almost 2 weeks after surgery and feeling lonely.
when did everyone feel ok? Emotionally and physically? Also I’ve not bleed after surgery at all? Is this normal? When did everyone cycles return?
when did you all get back to normal activities?
sorry it’s long. I felt like I needed to get it all out and speak about it.
