I had surgery to remove my right tube after a partially molar ectopic pregnancy exactly one month and one day ago, and my period returned this morning. I was anxiously awaiting for it to come back, but I didn’t think it would make me as emotional as it’s made me. It feels like the end of a really hard chapter but I don’t know if I’ve emotionally moved on from it yet.

I don’t know if I’m looking for advice or just needed to get that thought out there. Has anyone else experienced the same?

This is so random but I need to know if anyone else has experienced this. My skin LOVES the glazing mist, like I have no issues with it on my actual skin. But for some reason the border of my bottom lip gets really red and irritated after using it for a few days. The upside is it looks like I have permanent lip liner on lol but has this happened to anyone else?

I’m now 5 days post-surgery and just need somewhere to put my thoughts. I don’t know anyone that I can talk to who’s experienced this and will understand.

Back in April I found out I was pregnant. We were so excited (and nervous) because we suffered a chemical pregnancy in November. I felt so good about this pregnancy. I had pregnancy symptoms but I could still function, so I thought maybe I just got lucky and will have an easy pregnancy. I didn’t have any reason to believe anything was wrong until we went to our first appointment 2 weeks ago. They confirmed it was ectopic and I got my dose of MTX the next day. MTX made me feel out of it/slightly nauseous around day 5 but it wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately, my body didn’t respond to the MTX and I had to get surgery the following day.

I had never had surgery before this. I was so scared, but luckily I had a fantastic surgical team who made me feel comfortable and taken care of during the entire process. I asked them to do the dye test before they did the surgery and they confirmed both tubes were blocked. They did end up taking my right tube which broke my heart a little. It doesn’t make it hurt any less, but at least I know why this happened. Even 5 days later, the gas pain is whooping my ass and every time I feel a sting of pain, it’s just a reminder of what we lost.

Now that I’ve been home and recovering for the past few days, I think it’s finally emotionally hitting me. I’ve cried on and off all day since Sunday. I’m nervous about the future, nervous about whether my other tube is functional, nervous about this happening again and losing the ability to conceive naturally. I’m nervous to eventually see another positive test and be full of anxiety. I don’t understand why my body couldn’t do what it’s supposed to do. Here’s to looking forward and trying to stay positive. ❤️‍🩹

I had my first appointment on Tuesday. We were so excited. We suffered a chemical pregnancy in November, and I had been feeling great during the first 7 weeks of this pregnancy. I had pregnancy symptoms but was overall functional. I didn’t have any pain, bleeding, or any sense that I was having an ectopic pregnancy, or even that anything was wrong in the first place. I was so confident going into this appointment only to leave with the world crushing beneath our feet.

We found out the egg had implanted outside of my uterus. I’m still trying to make sense of it because it genuinely doesn’t make sense to me. I’m healthy, in shape, have normal/regular periods, why did this happen? Is it just a string of bad luck? Am I not meant to have kids? I just feel so worthless that my body isn’t doing what it’s designed to do. I’d love to hear encouraging stories of people who have had multiple miscarriages and have gone on to have healthy pregnancies. Other than that, I just want to feel less isolated.
