Re: 2nd Ectopic Removed Yesterday
It breaks my heart to hear of all you have been through this year, and I am so sorry that you have had to experience any of it. In 2010, I had two ectopics in a row. Two surgeries. It is both a physical and emotional toll, and it takes time to recover. In my experience, I wish I had given myself a bit more space, a bit more time. Certainly, after the second, I felt that I was more kind to myself. Life did not just snap back into place.
I wish I could give you a road map of recovery or certainty of what comes next. It's so very different for each of us, but so important to really, really put yourself first and focus on being kind to yourself. There is no expectation for you to know the next step or to take any steps until you are ready, physically and emotionally. You will be able to speak to your partner and GP about options to explore.
Just know that we are here for you though all of this, and we are bound, unfortunately, by this experience. These boards are a safe space for you.
Sending hugs,
Michele
