Sensitive post!

Unfortunately it has been confirmed and they have started the process to ‘break down the pregnancy’ (horrible terminology if you ask me).

After 7 long hours in the hospital at the EPAS Yesterday I was given a dose of methotrexate and AntiD. We were hoping to avoid the methotrexate injection but as the doctor said yesterday the effects and implications (the wait to TTC again) of the injection are far better than a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.

I don’t really know how I’m feeling atm, my emotions are all over the place and I’m feeling a bit shitty from the injections I suppose ☹️

Oh gosh, this has been a long journey for you. Sorry to hear about it. But you are stronger than you think and just try to accept the shitiness of it all at the moment. Just sounds so tough. Sending love to you xx

Thank you lovely. It really has and it’s not over yet. Back to the hospital twice next week and then hopefully I’ll be onto booods once a week. Much love xx

What a rough ride you’re having. So sorry... Hang un there lovely! There’s light at the end of this long tunnel. You’re strong-willed and you’ll get to the other side of this massive hump. Take care! Xx

Thank you love. Hopefully we get there soon. Xx

I'm so sorry this happened! I know how awful it is .

I've also had methotrexate for my 1st ectopic. I remember it was a long and rough journey. The lost is always hard but the injection gave me some closure. I had to wait 3 months to TTC again.

Good luck and sending you a big hug!

Thank you hun. Yeah we’ve been told 3 months as well. Hopefully the one dose does what it needs and I don’t need another one. I can’t wait for all the tests to show it’s worked and be done but apparently it will still be a while yet. Hugs xx

One injection was enough for me... hope it's enough for you too! The methotrexate depletes your folic acid it's very important to keep on taking these supplements!

[Ajplus1 in reply to Hidden]

Im hoping it is too. I got told at the hospital yesterday that I’m not allowed to take any folic acid at all for three months 😐

[Hidden in reply to Ajplus1]

That's weird! To me they told me the opposite, but this was in 2016 maybe things have changed since then!

[Ajplus1 in reply to Hidden]

Yeah I know I asked few times and so did my partner. I was told no folic acid and no nurofen. I tried to google it but the only thing that I could find in some studies was that folic acid effects the effectiveness of the injection. Which would make me think once it’s done it’s job and hcg is down that I could take it again 🤷🏼‍♀️

Im sorry you're having to go through this but at least you know where you are now after all the uncertainty and waiting! Take time to grieve after this, be kind to yourselves. Lots of love to you both.xxx

[Ajplus1 in reply to Cinderella5]

Thank you hun, you’re right at least now we have some answers and hopefully the bloods from here on out will do what they need to so we can grieve and get the closure we need. Sending lots of love back xx

I am 41. it was too late for me. I

used donor eggs and now I have twin girls. I know another lady who is 45 and she was able to get pregnant naturally and just gave birth to a baby.

[Ajplus1 in reply to sandra81]

Congratulations on your twins. I’m 28 so I’ve still got some chances when weee ready

[Hidden]

I’m so sorry to hear this. Just when we think it’s going our way, life throws another challenge at us. I remember the loss after my miscarriage and the feeling of despair that we were even further from achieving our dream. Allow yourself time to grieve, cry as much as you need to. Time moves quickly and it does get a little easier. Take care of yourselves xx

[Ajplus1 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for your kind words and I’m sorry for your loss. Xx

This is so tough hon but I suppose it's good that something is finally happening and you're no longer in that awful limbo. Sending hugs xxx

[bextoliver]

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve been there as well and I know it’s not easy. Take time for yourself and let your self heal. It will get easier with time xx
