My story: We were trying for a little over a year, and on clomid, when we found out we were pregnant at the beginning of May. My betas were rising, but not always doubling every 48 hours. I was also cramping an bleeding. I went in for an early ultrasound at just under 6 weeks where the ectopic was diagnosed. The next day I got methotrexate, but my levels were continuing to rise. A second ultrasound at 7 weeks showed that the baby had grown. The doctor told me surgery was my only option at this point, and it needed to be done that day. I was so upset. I went in for the surgery, where they had to take out my right tube. My doctor told me the tube was probably hours away from bursting, even though I wasn't in any pain.
This happened last week. Now, I am really depressed. I really miss being pregnant. I am so sad that I will never be able to meet my baby, or find out if it was a boy or a girl. We still have to take a break because of the methotrexate but I am in a way glad that we do. I am not ready to try again right now. My husband is very upset over this too. The infertility stuff didn't really bother him, but this has really affected him. I was just wondering if anyone else has gone through this, and how you are doing, and what you are doing now as far as infertility treatment.
Wow this is long! If you made it this far , thanks for reading!
I am so sorry for your loss. (((HUGS))) I have never had an eptopic pregnancy or had to have a tube removed. I have had 3 m/c's. I just want you to know that you are not alone in your feelings needing to take a break with TTC. Everyone copes in a different way. Some need to wait and others want to jump right back to TTC. Take this time with your husband for each of you to talk through your feelings regarding your loss. Communicate and lean on eachother for support. I really feel that the our m/c's brought me and DH closer together because we communicated. Just know that you are not alone and that those of us with a loss are here for you.

I just wanted to say that I am sorry for your loss.
There's a whole tilt-a-whirl of emotions involved with losing a baby. So, whatever you are feeling is valid, also. I go one day from being almost okay, to being a mess, to being angry, to who knows what next.
I too was glad for the break. It gives you a moment to step back and grieve for the child, and just step back from the situation.
(*HUGS*)

Sorry for your loss...I had an ectopic pregnancy in Feb of this year. I was actually pregnant with twins. One in the uterus that stopped growing and then later we found the other baby in the left tube when my betas were not going down but not doubling either. This is one of the hardest thing I have had to dealt with. I am still grieving for my loss as I try to gain the courage to start IVF #3 in July.
My thoughts and prayers are with you...
Anita
