Hi everyone. So little bit about myself. We got married in 2015 and wanted a baby straight away we got pregnant straight away but unfortunately it ended in a miscarriage we never thought much of it and moved on and thought well atleast we can get pregnant, boy were we wrong! 3 years later after many tests nothing until they put me on clomid and after 3 cycles my miracle baby was born. We did not want to waste much time in trying for another and got pregnant very quickly with our second but unfortunately that also ended in a miscarriage. A few months later we tried again and once again got pregnant very quickly but this time it ended in a eptopic but luckily was cured with a methotrexate injection. After this nothing no pregnancy nothing for 2 years. Until recently when I got pregnant on my last cycle of clomid but something just felt off. I thought it was my nerves but when I went for my 6 week scan they found the baby growing on my right fallopian tube I was rushed in for surgery and my tube ruptured during surgery and had to be removed. I am ever so grateful for my little miracle baby but what are my chances now of ever having another one. No more clomid for me they said:( anyone got any positive stories. So sorry for the long story but I felt like it needed to come out.

I’m so sorry, you have had a terrible time of it. I don’t know if this helps but even if you hadn’t ruptured, at the nhs if your other tube looks fine they just remove the affected tube as it can cause further issues/problems so please don’t think you could have done anything to change that outcome.

I was trying since July 2019 and had an ectopic in October 2020 and had my left tube removed (hadn’t ruptured), I was absolutely gutted. I struggled enough with two tubes and I was down to one!

Not all hope is lost, I fell pregnant a few cycles later and am 8 weeks now. There is also a thread on the conception board for being ttc after an ectopic and we’ve seen people fall pregnant on there.

A stat that helped me get through was that with a tube removed your conception is around 15% effected, not the 50% I would have thought. So eggs released from one ovary can drift over to the other tube and go down that way, it seems to all be much closer together than we see in the textbook pictures.

I am surprised they said no more clomid, do they mean for a few cycles for things to go back to normal? Are they putting you forward for other treatment? Is going private for medication an option at all?

Wishing you all the luck in the world and come say hi on the TTC after ectopic thread x
