Hi Abby, Same thing happened to me but I had always cringed at the thought of having children. When the doctor told me I was pregnant I immediately started crying because I was so upset. I had an IUD and it wasnt supposed to happen. We than had to terminate, that didnt work so 10 days later I had my...

Hi bld1, I am so sorry you are going through it as well. I am greatful for this forum. It seems like no one else understands because they have not been through it. I'm actually terrified of becoming pregnant again. I'm scared I will have to have my left tube removed. I've been reading a book called...

Also about the bleeding, I had light spotting which was common with IUD so I thought nothing of it and didn't know until I had pelvic pain when going to the bathroom or sitting down as well with a sharp pain in my left side. To the point where I couldn't be in the car as every bump would send me int...

They told me that we had to treat with methot...

I had my left tube removed in August. I wish I could say it gets better. So far there have been a few stages I have gone through with my grieving process but I'm now at the point where I think I need to talk about it with a professional. I've never been so confused and lost in my life. I've never wa...

Wow, I couldn't imagine working in a nursery. I would probably want to cry and than take them lol. JK Well im glad your trying. I feel like maybe if you got pregnant it might help with the feelings of loss as you can now focus your energy on the new little one inside you. Even though we both had a t...

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I too went through the same surgery in August removing my Left tube. The recovery was hard and I was certainly focused on just surviving and not really dealing with the emotional side of things. I never wanted kids. I had an IUD and this should have never hap...

Well I hope this never happens again. I'm just gonna avoid small children for a while. Which means I wont get to see my friends as they are literally all preganant or have just had babies. It's just too hard. I'm fine and than I get together with one of them and they talk about their excitement. I t...

No problem. It's a help for me as well to know I'm not crazy. This form has been so helpful and hearing the stories as it can be isolating. I may appear like i have it all together and than all it takes is a little baby to remind me of the bitter reality of what happened. It amazes me how much love ...

I had my left tube removed a few months ago and def feel similar things to you. I don't think I'll ever be the same. I've come to the conclusion that I will never forget and when someone falls pregnant around me it will always trigger feelings. I think ppl expect that with time it will all go away b...

Also, I feel like everyone around me is now pregnant and they're due dates are so close to when mine would have been. This is such a heartbreaking feeling knowing that my baby will never be and never had a chance from the beginning. Sometimes life teaches you things through the pain and I think I've...

Well it was not until I had severe pain in my left abdominal area that I knew something was seriously wrong. I had an IUD so my mind didnt even go to pregnancy. I went to my doctor and he said that I should go for ultrasound and get some blood and urine. Urine came back negative for pregnancy and no...

Hey, I feel the same way as you. I had an eptopic in August 2019 and I didn't even want kids. I didnt think I would be effected like this at all. Now everything I see a child, I cant help but start thinking about everything. I'm so emotional and it's so up and down. Now all my friends are pregnant a...
