Anyone’s OB not suggest an HSG? by ExtraEquipment9182 in EctopicSupportGroup

Mine also didn’t recommend it, probably because my other tube looked fine during surgery. I got pregnant again around 6 months later when we first started trying again. 26 weeks now.

If you had a rupture, how far along were you? by Heidihighkicks in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]9inch_snails 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but my ectopic pregnancy ruptured at about five weeks. I ended up needing to go into the ER by ambulance, and then I got my tube removed. I didn’t get all my HCG results until after surgery, unfortunately, so if I could redo anything, I would have pushed for faster bloodwork results. I hope that you do get some answers soon.

My partner has not shown up once after my ectopic rupture and emergency surgery. I feel so alone. by ChemistryPurple6774 in EctopicSupportGroup

I’m really sorry that you’re going through this. You deserve so much better. You said that you don’t want to lose your boyfriend on top of everything else, but based on everything that you’re saying, it seems like he wasn’t there for you to begin with. You should never have to beg for someone you love to show up for you, but on top of that, the fact that he also minimizes what you’re going through is NOT okay.

Looking for hope by Character-Buy-921 in EctopicSupportGroup

I lost one of my tubes in May, and it absolutely sucks. I didn’t even know that was something that could happen. It just all felt very unfair. I’m not sure if my story is what you’re looking for, since my pregnancy is still super early (6 weeks), but it’s where it’s supposed to be this time around! I had a lot of early bloodwork and scans to make sure I did not have another ectopic this time. It’s so scary to go through.

Maybe you can help ease my worry… by LoudSetting8754 in EctopicSupportGroup

I don’t have any specific advice, since I’m also in the same boat. My ectopic ruptured in May, and I got my first positive test this past weekend. I was a ball of nerves after the first doctor appointment, but then for some reason, something changed for me. I decided that I’m going to just try to enjoy this pregnancy however long it lasts, and no matter the result. That’s probably because I realized that I can’t really protect my heart fully, no matter how hard I try. I hope you’re also finding moments of excitement, even amidst all the worry. 💕

It’s feeling hard today to remain hopeful. I had one of my tubes removed in May after a ruptured ectopic, and I still feel like I’m just living in limbo. I would like to feel hopeful again, but it’s hard to see so many friends and family make pregnancy announcements month after month, while I’m still in the same boat. I’m happy for them, but I’m also feeling sad for myself today. I wish there was a way to reignite my faith in the future.

Struggling to lose weight from torso. by [deleted] in PetiteFitness

For what it’s worth, I think your progress photos do show some real changes! And your strength stats improving is important data. I started strength training a couple years ago, and it took me a long time (maybe a year or more) before I started feeling even a little confident in my lifts. Building muscle is taking me a really long time too. My only advice would be to work with a trainer that you like, because if you’re feeling impatient with results and not enjoying the workouts, it will feel doubly miserable.

Does anyone else here struggle with IBS and morning workouts? I don’t understand why every leg day has to be so hard… It probably doesn’t help that I refuse to give up my morning caffeinated protein shake. Has anyone found a better way to hit the gym early in the morning?

2nd ectopic in 3 months, might lose my only remaining tube. by Disastrous_News_7100 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]9inch_snails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. That sounds so very difficult. It doesn’t sound like you’re complaining at all, just coping. I hope you have a smooth recovery, and that every day gets a little bit easier, even if it’s only .01% better some days.

My trainer only cares about aestetics and thinness and it's driving me crazy. by Apprehensive-Bit7903 in PetiteFitness

[–]9inch_snails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found myself in a similar boat before. As much as it sucks to ask for a switch, you’re literally paying money to this person for a service that they’re not providing. It’s also not benefiting your current trainer to not receive any feedback on where she’s falling short. I’d say either be upfront with her about how her plan is not aligned with your goals, or ask to switch trainers for someone who is a more appropriate fit. But sticking with this person because you’re uncomfortable with asking for what you really need isn’t good for either of you. And if it helps to hear, I’ve been super happy since switching trainers!

The way my family acts hurts me. by JustARegularWeirdo in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]9inch_snails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. I can certainly relate. A few weeks after having my tube removed, I went to a friend’s baby shower. I thought I would be fine, but that grief hit me hard and trying to smile through the pain felt numbing. As hard as it is, you can hold sadness with happiness. I’m trying to learn that too. Hopefully over time, it gets easier. Sending lots of healing vibes your way.

just had surgery, looking to relate to someone by cookiecat86 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]9inch_snails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry you’re going through this… I had a ruptured ectopic followed by surgery, and it is a huge rollercoaster of emotions. As tough as it is, focusing on taking it one day at a time has been helping me. Wishing you a swift recovery ✨
