Ectopic Pregnancy - Tube Ligation/ Removal
Hye guys! Lets start talking abt Ectopic pregnancy, your journey through this and more info on Ectopic. Feel free to share your story. 🫶🏽
I just had right tube removed exactly a month ago. I am 28 yrs old, married & TTC. My first pregnancy was a chemical pregnancy. Second turned out to be ectopic. I was 8 weeks pregnant ( with fetal age - 6 weeks 3 days). Beside the normal pregnancy symptoms like swollen/sore nip n breast, hearburn, indigestion, fatigue, bloating, constipation (*except Nausea) , I ve been spotting (brown) and cramping continously from week 4 to 6 of my pregnancy. Soon after, I lost my appetite to the point where I was only eating fruits to keep me going. With all that struggle, I went to the second scan at 6 weeks only to find that its an ectopic 🤧🤧 Lord, the ammount of pain I had in my chest as soon as the doctor told me abt this after let us hear the baby's heartbeat. I was totally shattered. Then , I was referred to specialist and I heard the heartbeat 5 times before they send me for emergency room cause the tube could rupture at any time. The next day, I woke up to my older self again but without my baby and my right tube. Not a mother-to-be anymore. 😭😭 Its just too devastating to think that women have to go through alot. Its been a month and Im still towards recovery and acceptance. I had ny period just in 3 days after the surgery although doc said it will come next month (march). I also had UTI fr 2 weeks. The stitches on my belly button are stil there. And I still have pain if I move a certain way but no severe. As for now, I'm too afraid to try for the next (May onwards as per doc- after 3 mens cycles. ). I keep having mixed feelings. One day, I feel impatient to wait until May try again. The next day, it freaks me out thinking abt the laparoscopy and hospital stay. I'm reading alot on internet abt this. Some women had succesful pregnancies after ectopic while others had second ectopic. Some even lost both their tube trying to conceive for the second time. Some had twins. I know its not same for everyone. Its scares me so much. Pls keep me in your prayers. 😭😭 I have no one to share beside my husband n mom.
Also Does anyone went through the same? If yes, what were your symptoms, post surgery care etc. Tq
