Recovering from Ectopic Pregnancy

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
We learned that I am pregnant last June 5th. I had lower abdominal pain at that time so we went to see a gynecologist. The doctor asked me to do the pregnancy test and it was positive. A transvaginal ultrasound was done but nothing can be seen yet so we were asked to go back after a week. When we did, another scan was done but nothing was still visible. I decided that I will go back to my home country supposedly yesterday and schedule another visit since I have read in a lot of forums that there were instances that the baby is not visible yet. Last Monday, I had lower abdominal pain again, unbearable. Good thing my housemate was at home so I asked for her help to bring me to the ER. I met my husband there because he was working on site. The doctor who attended to me did another scan. No heartbeat, but something of my right side hat she cannot determine. She asked me to go to the women's hospital with her endorsement for thorough scan since she is thinking it is ectopic pregnancy. I had a couple of tests before they ruled out that they need to do the emergency operation. I was sedated and after an hour woke up feeling nothing. I was at ease because I know it was the right thing to do. I started reading everything about pregnancy so I have an idea about ectopic pregnancy. That it will endanger my life if not removed. It turned out that there was already a rupture on my right Fallopian tube and only choice was to remove it. I have three keyhole inserts and just came home yesterday to recuperate. I am not at loss because I know I can get through this in time with my husband - our families and friends. However, I am just sad. I started talking to my baby since Day1. I was happy with all the pregnancy signs no matter how uneasy it is to keep peeing at all times, food cravings and light mood swings. I embraced it all for my baby since I know it was worth it. Now, I just miss our little one. I know that there is hope. I am just finding time to grieve for our loss because he was very very real to me.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I also had an ectopic rupture, but it was because my doctor refused to see me before 8 weeks, even though I had pain. Please take care of yourself...time helps but it never really leaves you. If you have recovery questions feel free to PM me.

    Sorry for your loss. I only found out three day before I was rushed to the hospital for my ectopic that I was pregnant. And was overjoyed because we had tried for so long. Those were the greatest three days of my life only to be devastated on Mothers Day...of all days. I couldn't even divert my attention to tv or social media to ease my mind of what was happening that day because everyone was celebrating being a mother. :( such is life I guess. Luckily my hcg numbers dropped in half just in that 24 hours in the hospital. Took the mtx shot and was cleared to TTC after my first cycle. Good luck to all of you ladies peeing on an ovulation stick this week with me! Time heals all wounds.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I think we all can agree that the loss is very very tough. My baby was very real to me and we all got so excited about having a bouncing baby to hold in just a few months. Hugs!
