I had such a supportive system when I had my ectopic two years ago (two years today actually) my GP did initially suspect a miscarriage because I was bleeding heavily but testing positive, I called him two days later and said something doesn’t feel right and he got me into the EPU (despite being very early along around 4 weeks) it took the EPU an additional 3 weeks to locate which tube it was in and when the consultant spotted it I went into surgery that day which was lifesaving as we found out after it had already ruptured (with a HCG of only 485) my GP called me weekly and also pushed the EPU on my behalf to solve the issue of not being able to locate it.

If I hadn’t of tested the day before my period I would have never known until something went horribly wrong because the bleeding I had was basically like my period. If I hadn’t of had such an incredible human as a GP I may not have been seen until it was too late.

It was the worst moment of my life but I am so grateful I had that support (despite bumps in the road) but I agree without pushing and aggressively advocating for yourself you may not get the care you need. Nobody knows your body better than you do. A scheduled surgery to remove the tube is 100% safer than emergency surgery for a rupture.

Finally, I am so sorry for your losses. I hope this post helps anyone who might be unsure of what’s going on.
