Our rainbow was an ectopic 😞

After a 3 year journey of multiple miscarriages, infertility and lots of heartbreak and sadness we were put under the fertility team and started our journey of <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>

A few days before Christmas we found out it had worked and I was pregnant. We told family and prepared for our future. Truly believing our dream was coming true.

I’d been incredibly sick pretty much from day 1, and on Wednesday was admitted to the hospital with suspected hyperemesis. Because of how sick I was and it being a fertility pregnancy they wanted an early scan due to thinking it may be a multiple pregnancy. However when I was scanned on Thursday nothing could have prepared us for the reality of we were actually having an ectopic pregnancy and this was now a situation risking my life as the pregnancy was growing inside my left Fallopian tube and was bleeding.

Following a few days of conservative management, the decision was made to take me to theatre where they have removed my left tube as well as the pregnancy as the tube had now ruptured.

It’s hard to keep positive in moments like this, something feels so cruel about leaving a hospital with a memory box instead of happy news and we’re not really sure that we know what the future holds for our fertility journey however I am going to hold on to the believe that ‘the best is yet to come’ 🦋
