No Symptoms

Post by linzi2105 »

Hi,

I had surgery for my ectopic pregnancy and to remove a Fallopian tube yesterday, but just wonder if anyone else has had a lack of the normal symptoms?

All I had was relatively minor bleeding (which did get a bit worse the day or two before, but not the amount of a period) and mild tummy pains I put down to indigestion or general cramping. I had none of the severe pain or shoulder pain, fainting or dizziness.

So when I went for my early scan yesterday to check the bleeding I was completely blindsided by the diagnosis and was in theatre 3 hours later as I had ruptured and had an abdomen full of blood.

Dear linzi,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
We do hear from ladies who experience ectopic pregnancy with very little or no symptoms although this is generally not common.
I can understand what a shock this must have been for you do please take the time you need to recover both physically and emotionally.

Sending much love,
