Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello everyone, This is my first time on forum, I have recently suffered from an ectopic pregnacy on April 4, 2010 * I must say that the whole expierence was terrifying, I would never want to go threw any of it again. I've never heard of an ectopic pregnacy until it happened to me. I was on birth control, and on another medication at the time. Me and my husband wouldn't use protection, and we just had high confidence in "birth control" Everything was normal, (as so I thought) till the point that I went to the emergency room. It was a Thurs. night that the pain started, the day before I had gone to a doctors appointment due to a clump of blood that I have pasted, I had a ultasound to find out nothing and that it must has just been a miscariage, but the next night I started having unbarable pain. I just thought it was my period, but It was too much pain. I didnt want to go to the hospital but I had to force myself, I mean what was the worst that can happened ? So I went they did urine test, and blood work. Come to find out the test was "-" but my HCG level was high, which means that I was pregnate. I had a ultrasound inside as well as outside and they found out it was an ectopic. I was devestated a scared, actually really shooken up. Everything went by so fast, and the doctors have told me it started leaking and I had 1 liter of blood in my stomach, if I didn't go into surgery soon, I could be fatal. :/ I started crying and I didnt know what to do, So it was 2 in the morning and there I was entering the Operaton room. I lost my right fallopian tube, due to the damage. I can honestly say that It kills me to this day to know that I could have had a baby. I actually feel depressed at times. I have read other womens stories on here, and I can totally relate. I would love to be a mother, and I'm just wondering and concerned n when should I start trying again ? It's been 2 months and there's not a day that goes by without me thinking of what happened, I know it couldn't have been prevented but that's one thing that I truly wish could have been prevented. Anyone who reads this I appreciate it, and I just want to know how do you women cope with the lost, and also when did you guys start trying again ?

Hi CMG23 Thanks for your reply post...I am sorry you have also endured this torture....I really know how you feel. I am not sure when is best to start trying...I am not even sure when I/we will start ovulating again...no one seems to be able to tell me. Hopefully we get some more replies......all the very best...

Hello KLB81 * Thank you I appreciate it also. One major thing that I've noticed is that obviously every women is different. Some could get pregnte 1 month later, and some 6 months, and some over a year. Once I asked my doctor about getting pregnate he had told me that I will get pregnate again nothing to worry about. He also said that If I wanted a baby to just do it, I mean I looked at him and I said easier said then done right? Then he had told me yes I understand, the one thing that also helped me was when he said that just try and have a baby and dont think of the negativity I've been threw, and not to be so paranoid about the situation. The catch though to all this was he said He wouldn't advise me to start trying right way, to just wait till a couple cycles have pasted by. So far my periods are normal and I may be thinking of trying in 1 moth or 2. I'm terrified, but I would love to have a baby, considering the emptiness feeling have due to my loss. Hopefully we both get threw this together with a lovely baby :) - cmg23 [3
