At 6 w had my scan after 2 embies ( 5 day transfer ! And one was a live pregnancy on womb and the second stuck to my ovary !!’ Now I’m scheduled for surgery today to removed the live on outside womb ‘!!!

Not quite sure what the chances are of the one in the womb to survive all this shock !!!

Looking for some hope !!

Hello lovely! I know a positive story here! One of my best friends had a heterotopic pregnancy… after 9 years struggling with infertility and IVF. That was her very last attempt. She had to have laparoscopic surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy in her fallopian tube but her son is now 3 years old! Wishing you all the luck in the world xxx

Thanks ! I wasn’t so lucky ! I bled a lot after they removed the ectopic and so the one in the uterus didn’t survive it so I’m due for a d&c tomorrow but not sure if I should of a d&c or wait for it to expel itself . I have been given the choice but not sure

I can imagine how you must be feeling right now... It is just so heartbreaking 😢 I would ask your clinic regarding when you can try again. I had a laparoscopy for other reasons (excision surgery for endometriosis) and was asked to wait at least a cycle (which I was surprised about!) but other times I have been asked to wait a couple of cycles before trying again... Take care, lovely, and look after yourself xxx

I am so so sorry to hear this. It must have been so traumatic. I have suffered from recurrent miscarriages and have had some medically treated and for others just waited for my body to naturally do it... I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you lots of strength xxx
