Re: Hormones!
I am truly so sorry that you've experienced this ectopic pregnancy and loss. It is very normal to find yourself physically recovering, but still working through the emotional recovery. Ectopic pregnancy is a trauma, and it's so important to continue looking after yourself. I too was completed shocked to have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy and didn't know anyone who had a similar situation. It was through these boards that I found I wasn't alone in my experience.
We at the Trust believe that talking through what happened and your emotions as and when you can help the healing process. We operate a helpline service, and if you would ever like the opportunity to speak over the phone to someone who has been through a similar experience, do feel free to call, details are below. We can exchange emails too if you prefer that route. We'll simply be here for you, however, you wish and for as long as you wish.
The charity, Mind, may also be of assistance. They have local centres and support groups and can offer services on a means-tested basis or sometimes free. You can find your local centre following this link if that may be useful too: http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/local-minds/
From the bottom of my heart, please be kind to yourself through your recovery. We are here for you whenever you need it.
With warm wishes,
Michele

Re: Hormones!
I understand how you’re feeling.
I have had a 2nd ectopic which resulted in surgery & the loss of a tube.
My 1st ectopic was treated with methotrexate. On my 1st I had the injection on the Friday & like u went back to work on the Monday.
I didn’t tell anyone what had happened & did find I got through it after a cpl of months.
On this 2nd one again I didn’t tell anyone at work as it happened in lockdown anyway. When I’m working (still wfh cos of covid) I find I can function & be normal & I feel like it helps cos no1 knew anyway so I don’t expect anything from them & they don’t me whereas when I’m not working I’m a wreck.
I can’t control my anger, misery or any feeling for that matter. My mind is running constantly & because my friends, family & in laws know I can’t stand that they just get on with their lives & behave normal. I know it sounds ludicrous but I just feel like I am left with this big hole & everyone else is ok & it isn’t fair or right.
I only know that on the 1st one I eventually got over it so can only hope that the same will happen this time.
Take care x

It is a very odd place, nothing much has been explained band I'm relying on the internet for my information, this site has been a real go to for me this past fortnight.

Re: Hormones!
I really do understand how you feel.
My hubby has strong faith so constantly says things are written for us, it’s a test blah blah I’m not interested & it frustrates me to [heck].
I feel like I am the only one in the world feeling like this. I know this page is here but I think because there isn’t a follow up & no actual closure it is so hard to move on & part of me doesn’t want to, if I move in it’s like it’s ok & in my mind it’s not ok.
