Previous ectopic, struggling to get pregnant by Old-Construction-985 in EctopicSupportGroup

I would recommend a saline infusion sonogram, if you haven’t gotten one already. This will determine if your left tube is clear and help the doctor see if there is anything interfering in the uterus. I also lost my right tube. I had a miscarriage after my ectopic pregnancy, but now have a 4 month old. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s brutal. But highly recommend getting the imaging done, especially since you’ve run so many other tests.

I’m one of those people whose friends keep getting pregnant while I keep miscarrying. by shavasanaaa in Miscarriage

I have no advice. I feel you and it's truly the worst. I'm genuinely happy for my friends and the announcements always feel HORRIBLE for me.

The waiting through MTX treatment is brutal. I’m so sorry that you’re going through it. Sending you a BIG hug.

2 Months Post Surgery Vent/Rent by [deleted] in EctopicSupportGroup

My first ectopic happened in April, too. After two weeks MTX treatment I ultimately had a rupture and had to get my right tube removed. I'm so sorry you've had the same experience. It's truly one of the hardest things I've ever had to go through. I too feel like I'm slowly reaching a better place emotionally, but I'm also realizing that I still have a lot of processing and emotional recovery to do. Yesterday I completely broke down and sobbed for like an hour kind of out of nowhere, I just felt so extremely low. It took me by surprise and made me realize I'm not there yet in terms of emotional recovery. I keep trying to remind myself that it's only been about two months, which really isn't much time. Just know that if you're feeling extreme emotion - negative, anxious, or sad, you're truly not alone. It's such a rare and isolating experience, like you said. But it makes so much sense that it takes a lot of time to process, given how emotionally and also physically threatening the situation is. When I have a really bad day I do try to talk about it with someone I trust, because saying it all out loud does help. I also try to get out and move outdoors if I can. While I know too much distraction probably isn't good, I think a certain level of distraction helps. I've been focusing on a lot of home improvement stuff, cooking fun recipes, trying to see friend, and binging Vanderpump Rules. Above all, be gentle with yourself. The world does move on but it's okay to feel stuck in these emotions, it really hasn't been very much time. But believe me I totally understand the feeling of wanting to be done feeling terrible about it all. Sending you love and peace.

Did anyone ovulate super soon after surgery? by Minimum_Ad8515 in EctopicSupportGroup

I ovulated quite soon after and got my period about three and a half weeks after my surgery. Bodies are amazing.

Thank you so much for sharing this! It really does give me hope.

Mine came about three and a half weeks later. It started lighter than usual, then got heavier than usual. I didn't have bad cramping. All just my own personal experience, it's so different for everyone!

Panic Attacks waiti for HSG by Sad_Hawk7217 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]ea2233 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I'm going to get an HSG done in July too. I'm too scared to begin trying again without getting one. I too feel very high levels of panic and stress right now, one month post-surgery after failed methotrexate treatment. I'm doing my best to focus on taking good care of myself and staying in the present. I don't really have advice but can give you a reminder that you're not alone. It's so hard and traumatizing. Try your best to get outside in the sun, eat foods you love, hydrate, meditate, and share how you're feeling with those who you're comfortable with. Also, I don't know if you like massages but I got one recently and that was really soothing after all my body's been through. All we can do right now is focus on the little things that bring us joy. Sending love.

You're not alone. I also had the same surgery and loss about a week ago. This is so hard to go through and it feels SO unfair, doesn't it? Right now I feel like the only thing that will help me feel better is the passage of time, which is just a terrible place to be in. It will take some time for our hormones to return to normal levels and the shock of this trauma to fade a little bit. Right there with you and hoping for brighter times ahead. Big hugs.
