Answer

I quit working at Walmart cause with my ectopic, my tube ruptured and was bleeding internally so bad that all I remember was seeing the u/s and then being rushed up for surgery...maybe all of 20 minutes of being in hospital. When I told Walmart I had life or deAth surgery they DEMANDED that I call in every day for 2 weeks and I told them I’m not doing so since I have a drs note to not return for 2 weeks. They wanted me back after 3 days and said even if I would have died my family would need to call me in everyday.

Answer

Not sure how long I'm gonna have off yet. Went in for a scan on Wednesday the 4th oct they discovered it was ectopic, I was not allowed home had to stay in hospital they tried to get me into surgery that night but ended up having surgery next morning at about 9:30am the whole thing was very scary. Finally got let out of hospital on Saturday at about 4pm. 
Surgery has really taken its toll on my body. Very sore everywhere. Had to have a bigger incision for them to sort it all out and lost my tube. 
I'm happy to be home but feel just exhausted. 
I'm so disheartened because we had been ttc since January and got pregnant in march but had a miscarriage in April which I thought was bad enough but then to get pregnant again and it being ectopic and then be rushed into emergency surgery is just devastating. 
I've had a tough year and lost my mum in November 2016 and just can't cope with anymore loss

Answer

I worked through it. I had the shot at 6.5 weeks pregnant and my doctors have been having me go in at 7am so I can still get to school to teach in time. I teach in low income innercity and some of my students can't handle having a sub. It was sad but it kept me busy

Answer

I'm a teacher so I had two weeks off for winter break. My ectopic happened the beginning of my time off. I was glad I didn't have to go back for two weeks because I was crying all the time and the shot had me sore for about a week.

Answer

I've had the methotrexate shots and my doctor said I can go back right away. I told him, there's now way I can do that cause I was an emotional wreck.. He then gave me a doctors note for 4 days...

Answer

I got FMLA while pregnant and my doctors office allowed me to take time before sending me back to work. My place of employment wouldn't have given me more than a few days. I took two weeks off, mostly for emotional healing. I didn't lose a tube and had the shots to end the pregnancy.
