Buzzybee,
Thanks for your kind wishes. I know how frustrated you must be with not being taken seriously re ectopics. I have never been taken seriously for ectopic heart beats. It's usually been attibuted to anxiety (which I also suffer from) and I have been sent home from casulty. When I was 23 I was taken by ambulance to casulty and I still blush when I think about it because of course they could find nothing wrong with me. Incidently I was also not taken seriously re infertility until I had my first ectopic pregnancy after 14 months of trying for a child.
Broodymumof2, Thanks for sharing your experiences, it does help to know what others have been through. I am sure as you say everyone's experiences are different.
Take care.

Buzzybee,

I have had some problems posting but will try again. Thanks for your kind wishes. I know who frustrated you must be re lack of support for ectopic heart beats. Mine are always attributed as anxiety. Incidentially I was never taken seriously aboput infertility either until I had my first ectopic pregnancy after trying for 14 months. I feel blessed to have experienced pregnancy and can't wait for the birth. For 4 years my two dogs were my children, Newbie and Shadow, hence my nickname.

Broodymumof2, Thanks for sharing your experiences. It really does help to understand what others have gone through and it must have been scary. You are right though, all experiences are different.I will check in my next antenatal appointment.

Take care.

Dear all,

Sorry for all the messages. I got confused because I am new to the site. Please ignore all but the last one.
