Re: Need some encouragement
Jennifer,
I am so sorry this happened to you. Your scenario sounds similar to mine. My pregnancy with my daughter was so normal and fine. Then I got pregnant again and had an ectopic pregnancy, my right tube ruptured and they removed it. You're right it all happened so fast. I was so devastated and hurt and thought I would never get pregnant again. We were told to wait 3 months to heal to try again. On the second month of trying I did get pregnant and I am now about 20 weeks along. There have been quite a few success stories on this board lately. I think about 3 others have recently conceived again after having an ectopic.
To answer your other questions, I didn't have an hsg done. The doctor that did my surgery didn't think any additional tests were necessary. The fact that this happened was just bad luck, there was nothing else wrong. The only thing that I can think of is maybe there was always something wrong with my right tube and I never knew it and my daughter was conceived from the other side. My doctor was very encouraging that we would do fine getting pregnant again. I would go for a follow-up with your doctor and see what he says.
I understand how you are feeling right now. It's such a shock. You really will feel better as time passes. And I am sure you will get pregnant again when you are ready to try. Hang in there and we are all here for you.
Lynn
