MC 3 months ago, now I have an ectopic pregnancy…any advice & support would be so appreciated

Hi everyone. 30yrs old, no LC. I’m so sad to be here, but thankful for this community & all the support. I’ve been reading different posts and it’s comforting to know we’re not alone.

Like my title says, I ended up miscarrying in March at 8 weeks (baby stopped growing 5w6d, no heartbeat detected). I was lucky enough to get pregnant 3 cycles after, only to discover this week that my HCG was falling/rising and my OB highly suspects an ectopic pregnancy. I was injected Methotrexate today and will be monitoring my HCG this upcoming week.

I am heartbroken, confused, and scared that there’s still a chance something can rupture. I also know ectopics are not labeled as miscarriages, but bc my process was more of an assumption, not 100% identified, I’m still wondering if this is a miscarriage or ectopic. I started heavily bleeding today like a period, which reminds me of how I passed my first miscarriage.

Has anyone experienced both an MC and ectopic? Any tips for taking care of my physical health? The OB basically told me no TTC-ing for 3 months, but any other tips would be greatly appreciated. A part of me also feels like I should try to get RPL tests in case this was a miscarriage, but I understand they’re costly. Any thoughts on how to approach next steps?

Experiencing 2nd MC, pls share any positive stories

Hey everyone. I got pregnant this January which ended in a MC at 8 weeks in March. It was extremely painful & traumatic to overcome, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover I got pregnant again this May.

Unfortunately, my bloodwork/HCG is showing that this pregnancy is probably not viable and will end as another MC (I’m at roughly 6w2d today).

I’m numb and shocked that I have to experience 2 MCs in a row. I’ve never been able to see a real heartbeat with these 2 pregnancies. I’m losing hope that I’ll be able to have a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy and child.

I’d love to hear some stories & tips from anyone here who was able to successfully deliver after 2 losses. I just need some hope here 💔

guys, prunes are a lifesaver

sorry if this is TMI but thought it could be helpful to share lol. ive always had trouble with bowel movements and pregnancy has made it significantly worse. on a whim i decided to eat prunes bc im trying to eat more natural/real foods over pills/supplements.

guys, ive never had so much satisfaction on the toilet in my life 🤣 why have i never tried this before? who knew pooping could be so easy????

i eat 3 prunes in the morning with a large glass of water before consuming anything else. its been a miracle worker y’all. so basically, if you’re struggling with constipation, i def recommend trying this LOL
