Tubal pregnancy

southernbelle82 · May 2014

Hi. I was 5.5 weeks pregnant and started having mild-severe cramping last Saturday (5/3). Wednesday morning it was extremely severe. We went into the hospital thinking it was appendicitis. Long story short, it ended up being a tubal pregnancy that had ruptured and I had started hemorrhaging. This was our 3rd baby to lose in less than a year. I had already lost my left ovary & tube back in September due to an ovarian cyst...now because of this tubal pregnancy, I lost my last tube. Our only chance for any future children is now IVF.

I can't wrap my head around the fact that in one year, I've lost 3 babies, both my Fallopian tubes, and an ovary. There was a moment where we thought I might lose my right ovary too...thus putting me into menopause. I'm only 31. I can't believe this has happened. I'm truly heartbroken.

I'm scared. I'm new to this. I can't believe I cannot have children on my own. I have never looked into IVF before and just the brief amount of research I've done, I'm overwhelmed. I'm scared of starting down this road and losing another one, again. I don't know if I can handle losing another baby. I don't know what the purpose of this post is...I guess I just needed to vent.

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses and the hard time you're going through. I totally understand just needing to vent. I don't know much about IVF, but I wish you the best of luck.

I am so sorry you have suffered so much loss in the last year. I can imagine the entire ordeal is incredibly overwhelming. There are still options available to you so please don't lose all hope.
