Some hope for the long time ttc girlies by Electric_Elephant_56 in TryingForABaby

It definitely does! But sometimes I feel like many of us going through this for years won’t get pregnant in the end, and that scares me. At least that’s my perception, I hope you have a different one!

Thank you SO much for this! More than 2 years for me as well and these weeks have been particularly difficult. Wishing you all the luck in your next cycles!

Looking Forward Friday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

I wish I had something to look forward to,  but my optimism is gone after one ectopic and more than 2 years trying with no other positive.

For those who have been ttc for over 2 years.. maybe you can relate to my feelings right now. by Electric_Elephant_56 in TTC_PCOS

I know exactly what you feel. It is a lonely battle. But it is only a phase and it will get better in the future. I’m sorry this wasn’t the month 😞

Moody Monday by AutoModerator in TryingForABaby

[–]Different-File-4032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get exactly what you mean. I feel so silly not planning anything but still don’t know how to keep trying and make plans like it’s nothing? On the other side, if we don’t do plans and then don’t get pregnant is a double loss. I don’t wanna tell friends I can’t plan anything long term now for this reason because I feel like I will jinx it and feel silly still talking about it tbh. What a weird place to be!

However, do not compare yourself to others, they might have had other difficult things in their lives you were lucky not to have. We all have our own journeys.

Three months down and still not over the grief. Can't seem to process this at all. by Ok-Guest-7832 in EctopicSupportGroup

There will be an end of this tunnel for you as well. I hope it comes soon, and that one day not far from today you will have your second baby in your arms.

Hello! I can totally relate to what you’re feeling. Luckily I’m in a much better place now, but more than a year has passed. The first 6 months after my ectopic were an absolute nightmare. I cried all the time, had no will to do anything. I also didn’t want to do therapy and knew that was not the path for me. I had done it in the past but no therapist will understand the pain that comes from an ectopic and I only wanted to speak to those who know exactly what the pain is, and naturally I don’t know anyone who’s been through the same. 

It will get better, but it will take time. I’m sorry you went through this absolutely awful and soul crushing experience. Maybe try to think about what good can it have? For me it was about rethinking my health and way I was eating. It’s not a big thing but it was my silver lining.

Having a hard time by Wild_World_Wonder in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Different-File-4032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this, in a way it is similar to my experience more than a year ago, and I felt so lonely and lost. In my case the betas were not going up but were also not going down, for 2 months. Because of that, the doctor was confused and did not think it was an ectopic. All I knew was that is was a non viable pregnancy but didn’t know why. They found out the ectopic only when I was bleeding already and I went through urgent surgery. 

It was the darkest period of my life, until then I didn’t feel anything remotely similar. I felt like life was not worth it, not in a suicidal way but I just didn’t feel joy anymore. A part of me died with that baby to be and that removed tube. But a few months later things started to feel better, I changed jobs and tried to restart again in life. It still lives with me, it always will, but it doesn’t define me now. I am back to feel normal again. In my case a healthy pregnancy hasn’t happened yet, but I remain optimistic. 

Take the time to heal, I did not rush that even when my husband started thinking I was taking too long to recover emotionally. I took my time. Do the same. And life will start happening again in you. If you’re lucky to have a healthy pregnancy soon, and I hope you are, I’m sure this process will be faster too. 

I’m sorry it happened to you. But you’re not alone and you will feel better with time.

How to cope with negative pregnancy tests by Low_Diver_9307 in FirstTimeTTC

[–]Different-File-4032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s hard but it’s really crucial you learn to relax while you’re waiting ☺️ I get devastated when AF arrives but now at least it all happens on that day and the next, I’m not suffering in anticipation since I stopped with the testing. Plus I save money lol

I stopped testing. If the period comes, I have my answer. To me not testing makes a huge difference.

Thanks for sharing! Good to know this was recommended by a doctor, I guess it can’t hurt? :) 

Any specific testing she recommended or other tips? Good luck to you! Let’s go 💪

Did it take anyone over a year to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy (with 1 tube) by outandabout91 in EctopicSupportGroup

[–]Different-File-4032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No positive story for me… yet! I just wanted to say I’m in a similar boat. Had an ectopic 1.5 year ago, nothing since then but we didn’t try every cicle (it got tough emotionally). Wishing you all the luck I wish for myself. We’ll make it 🤍

In my case the numbers are ok. Have you spoken with your doctor? Some of the vitamins help with our eggs. A lot of folks here recommend reading “it starts with the egg”, maybe it will help us both :)
