After being diagnosed at 5w4d I had my first dose of Methotrexate on 9/7. My beta jumped from 640 (9/5) to 3600 (9/11) afterwards which they told me to expect. My repeat was scheduled for sat 9/14 but they called me Friday morning and said they wanted me to go then because of the weekend and me possibly needed another dose of Methotrexate. I didn’t hear from them until 5:15 that night and my hcg went up to 3700. They scheduled me for an ultrasound and another beta for Monday.

I woke up at 1:30 am on Saturday with really sharp pain on my right side and knew something wasn’t right. I tossed and turned until 5am when I got up to get ready for work. I work in a hospital in the Childbirth Center so I wanted to talk to one of our docs and see what they said. They sent me straight to the ED.

The ultrasound showed suspected rupture due to blood in my abdomen and I was scheduled for surgery before I could even wrap my head around it. Thankfully, the dr on yesterday was one of my favorites. Although, one comment she made really hurt. “You guys have already been doing IVF anyway right”.

This was my only tube, the other was removed in 2016 due to hydrosalpinx. I had always hoped we would be one of those couples that would be so lucky to go through IVF and then have another surprise natural pregnancy but that chance is now permanently gone 😭💔. To make it worse. My husband didn’t make it to the hospital in time before I went back to surgery but one of my sisters made it right as they were wheeling me back.

Surgery went well and I have to say my Metro family took excellent care of me. I am home now. Really sore but even more heartbroken. It feels like a nightmare I can’t wake up from but I know it will eventually be ok. I’m a trying really hard to be extra thankful for all of the blessings that God has already blessed us with.

Sorry for the long post. If you are still reading this thank you. 💜
