C section scar etopic

[candyflossxox]

Hi
It's been confirmed today after 3 weeks of having scans that what I'm going through is a scar etopic pregnancy. I'm waiting for a specialist to contact me to take next steps. But Iv just felt worried with the waiting around. And from research I can't find many experiences of other people going through it. So I'm hoping to find people that have been through this, that could tell me there story's and just some one that knows how it feels. With it being so rare and not knowing anyone's experiences,
It just makes me feel alone.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. I didn't have a scar ectopic but I got a lot of support from the Ectopic pregnancy trust forum. ectopic.org.uk/

There is a fb group ms a lot of women on there have successfully continued their pregnancy (but these were high risk pregnancies) i can’t link it I’ll check the name of the group they are very knowledgeable

The fb group is called ‘continuing a c section scar ectopic’

I’ve had one and it was truly awful so I’m really sorry you’re going through this. You can’t have a d&c with a c section ectopic so most likely you will be offered a chemotherapy injection to help disolve it and if that doesn’t work it needs to be surgically removed via laparoscopy. At the same time they will probably correct your scar from the inside. It’s the most dangerous type of pregnancy you can have and they are probably taking their time with it as they don’t have any experience in it. There are not a huge amount of cases so not all doctors would be experienced it. I’m sorry again, it’s so devastating but if you need to dm me please feel free.

Hi @candyflossxox I have recently been through the same and still trying to process the experience. It is so hard. How are you doing? Happy to chat here or by DM.

I had a c-section scar ectopic last year, had 2 doses of methotrexate but had to have the surgery anyway in March anyway when I should have been about 10 weeks.
I'm now 28 weeks pregnant with a healthy baby so all is not lost for subsequent pregnancies if you chose to have more. The only difference in this pregnancy is that the c section will be booked for 37 weeks to reduce the chances of the scar rupturing as baby grows and they want to avoid me going into labour. Happy to be in touch if you have any questions and hope you're ok

This gives me hope, i had a c section ectopic in July last year & the surgery in August. I really want to try again but really scared. Has your pregnancy been smooth otherwise? Im just worried something will go wrong again :(

Oh so sorry! Hope you're doing okay? I'm feeling a lot better now, it was a very long ordeal. I had laproscopy surgery in January and then issues with retained tissue which only just seems to be sorted. It’s been a long journey!
