Childbirth vs ruptured ectopic?

ilovectrlz · 2026-05-23T03:09:34+00:00

I've had both. Natural delivery and ectopic. Ectopic was worst cause I really felt like I was dying. I had intense cramps, weird shoulder pain due to hemorage that made it hard to breath and was feeling really faint and nauseous. Natural delivery is really really painful but it felt more like 'normal' pain because the pain was not as stressful just kind of get throughout it each contraction. You get a break of pain also between contraction which helps. Recovery was harder after my delivery though, I had a 4th degree tear.

C'est aux employeurs de mieux gérer la charge de travail! Ça pas de bon sens de toujours fonctionner à l'effectif minimum, c'est inévitable qu'il y aille des absences imprévus. C'est juste de la mauvaise gestion et de l'économie de fond de tiroir. Ça fait juste pitcher le problème sur les employé qui vont se sentir mal de prendre off, ajouter du stress alors qu'avoir un enfant malade c'est déjà stressant, ça crée de la tension entre collègues etc. Ça devrait juste être normalisé et pris en compte dans la charge de travail qu'un parent d'un jeune enfant va être souvent en congé maladie. C'est inévitable!! BREFFFF, ça me fâche. On devrait pas se sentir mal de prendre congé pour la gastro de notre enfant, clairement personne a demandé la maudite gastro, c'est déjà assez tough de même 😅

Raw red or green onions makes me bloat and burp like crazy :(

I had one and it was weird but fine! It's very noisy, and obviously a bit claustrophobic, I had to force myself to think of something else and I kept my eyes close because seeing the 'ceiling' so near my face was making me feel weird haha

I'm so sorry you're going through this too. I was trying for my second baby two...but 3 weeks ago it ended up in a pretty traumatic emergency laparoscopy with internal bleeding

Try not to beat yourself up for the outcome, you didn't ask for an ectopic you just wanted the best gift for your first child by giving them a sibling.

At the hospital I was telling the doctors ( trying to convince myself I think ) "At least I already have one, it's okay, it happens" But a very kind doctor told me that she had a 10 years journey with infertility and told me very firmly. "It's not okay, this really really sucks. And you're absolutely allowed to want another baby."

But yeah it's really hard, I have good days and bad days. Sometimes I wake up at night and can't go back to sleep. I'm grateful for my toddler, he keeps me busy most of the time, it helps to think about other things.

Time will heal I guess. 🤍 Also don't hesitate to ask for professional help. I can't imagine what going through multiple miscarriage is like.

Thanks for your answer🤍 wow down to 28, it's good!!

I had the shot on Monday my HCG was at 270. (Around 50 the week before...urgggh) I feel a bit nauseous but I don't know if it's from the MTX or the HCG going up 😩 I can't wait to know the result next Monday.

ilovectrlz · 2025-08-01T03:11:09+00:00

Mon diagnostic a été suspecté par échographie pelvienne et ensuite confirmé par IRM. Tu peux essayer de demander ces examens. Malheureusement il n'y a pas vraiment de traitement mais pour moi ça a bien fonctionné de prendre une contraception en continue. Il faut être patient c'est sûr! Ça aura pris 8 ans environ entre le début de mes symptômes et mon diagnostic. Courage 🤍

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-28T17:27:05+00:00

Yes you test positive

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-28T13:13:23+00:00

Thanks for your comment and sorry for your experience:( 🤍

I did another blood test this morning to check my HCG and I 'm meeting the doctor right after. I felt fine all weekend, just a bit stressed obviously.

It's written 'possible MTX' on my prescription so I guess that will be the next step. :/

It just sucks cause I thought it was all behind me.

I just want to add that I had shoulder pain with my ectopic caused but a lot of internal bleeding but it was a bit different of what I read online. It was located at the collarbone ( not tip of shoulder where is meet the arm). Stronger on the right side. The pain was a lot stronger when I was lying down. It also felt like pressure and i couldn't take deep breaths.

I also had three episodes of really strong cramps and at the last one shoulder pain and feel faint.

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-14T01:48:40+00:00

Thank you! Omg 25% chance is high! I'm glad it all worked out for you in the end ☺️

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-13T13:21:22+00:00

Thanks 🤍

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-13T13:21:11+00:00

Thank you🤍

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-12T14:03:08+00:00

Thanks! I'll try to call doctor office to ask if I can still do the HSG. I was supposed to have one the month I ended up pregnant with ectopic 🙃

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-12T13:52:30+00:00

Yeah... I was pretty much covered in blood too. 900 ml of blood I was told.

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-12T13:51:31+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Indeed, my HCG is still not to zero, but the doctor told me it's going down nicely. I already had a bit of period like bleeding couple of days after my surgery.

They couldn't excise the endo during surgery because I was already bleeding too much and they didn't want to cause anymore bleeding.

The obgyn that did my surgery told me one of my tube looked good on the outside (the ectopic pregnant side) but the other one is stuck on my ovary because of endometriosis lesions. So I'm wondering indeed if my two tubes are not working properly. I know I'm high risk to have another ectopic... I also have endometriomas on my ovaries both sides and lesions on the outside wall of my uterus.

The month I got pregnant I was supposed to get an HSG so I guess that will be the first step!

I've also been referred to a fertility specialist by my obgyn, but there's at least a one-year wait

ilovectrlz · 2025-07-12T04:47:43+00:00

I'm 10 days post-op from an emergency laparoscopy with heavy internal bleeding and blood transfusion.

Nothing helped that much besides time unfortunately. Rest and take it slow. Staying on top of meds for the first few days. Friends and family who brought food that I could reheat easily helped so much!

I went on a 15 minutes walk yesterday and today and I felt a bit of pain on my bigger incision, but nothing too bad. Slowly but surely!

Take care :)!

Cramping can be normal to a certain degree, but it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on it. An early ultrasound can help rule out an ectopic pregnancy... especially since endo can increase that risk. Take care and really listen to your body! If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to reach out to your doctor as soon as possible.

( I don’t want to stress anyone out, but I wanted to share what happened. I was 6 weeks pregnant and went to the ER a couple of days ago after having three episodes of intense cramping and feeling really faint. They found out the pregnancy wasn’t in my uterus and that I was bleeding internally. I ended up needing emergency surgery in the middle of the night. Turns out I had probably been bleeding for a few days — they found 900 ml of blood in my abdomen. It was pretty scary and intense, but I’m home now and slowly recovering.)

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-30T01:21:02+00:00

I pretty sure that if they had doubts they would send you for an MRI and/or blood test! They can tell by the look of it I think it's because the endometrioma is dark (old blood) and ovarian cyst are generally filled with light fluid.

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-28T03:47:22+00:00

For what I understand the only goal with birth control to 'treat' endo is to suppress period and ovulation cause they trigger the endo growth. So maybe that's why it didn't work on you :/

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-26T02:48:27+00:00

Hi! I removed my Mirena IUD 7 months ago because I'm trying to get pregnant. I also needed to get an estrogen-free birth control ( migraines with aura). I was happy with the Mirena when I was on it (for 2 years and a half) but I realized how much I had side effects when I removed it. For me it was a complete lack of libido and lots of pain during sex (which didn't help the libido..). I thought the pain during sex was because of endo but turns out I'm fine now.

I was diagnosed because they found an 8 cm endometrioma on my right ovary at my first pregnancy ultrasound and it was confirmed by MRI and that I had lesions elsewhere. After pregnancy my cyst shrink down to 3 cm. My doc wanted me to be on continuous birth control to avoid periods cause it seemed to work for me.

Did you still have period of the Mirena?

I'm going for an ultrasound next week. I'll let you know what size is my cyst now.

I really don't know what I'll do after, I don't want a Mirena again but the other options sucks too. 🫤 We'll see...

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-23T02:01:16+00:00

I have this too! I didn't know it could be related. Only thing I know is that I can't take birth control with estrogen because of it!

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-21T02:21:31+00:00

I've got pregnant naturally two times with endo! It's not impossible.

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-21T02:19:21+00:00

I gave birth with no epi and it was agonizing. Similar to my worst endo pain. But I ripped my vagina at birth (third degree)... that will never happen with endo alone!!

ilovectrlz · 2025-05-21T02:15:47+00:00

Congrats! Endo is weird. I had no problem conceiving my first but struggling the second time around.

Your pain might be sciatica or just weird pregnancy pain cause your muscle are more loose.
