Third Ectopic; feeling let down.

Post by Chrissie89 »

I’m just devastated and I know I’m going to need to surround myself with support this time, so grateful to have found this group.

I’m currently sat in hospital after a third ectopic pregnancy, I just can’t believe it. Words fail me. I’m so angry at the hospital that promised to look after me to ensure a rupture wouldn’t happen again - an inconclusive scan, followed by two hcg checks which increased by 70% and then left for 5 days was apparently that care. After the second lot of results they said that they would book another scan for a weeks time but wouldn’t need to check hcg again as ‘going up nicely’. I voiced concerns then and said that I would be getting very close to the levels I was in December before my first rupture. Yet, here I am.

I called a few days ago complaining of pain. Wait until the scan.

I called 111 yesterday at 2am with severe abdominal pain that hadn’t stopped since 10am but because it ‘wasn’t localised to one side’ I just needed to ‘book a GP appointment to check for a UTI’.

I feel so incredibly let down, I cried for help so many times - it’s not in my nature to push and argue.

Thanks so much for providing me with a safe place to talk 😢💔

Dear Chrissie89,
I am so terribly sorry to hear this, my heart truly goes out to you.
I think for now it is important to focus on you and ensure you receive the care and support you deserve. We of course, will be here for you and do lean on us for as long as you need.
You have every right to feel angry and upset and if you have questions about your care, I would advise speaking to the Patient Advice Liaison Service (PALS) within your local hospital, but this can wait. At the moment you will need space and time to grieve, to heal both physically and emotionally.
Sending much love and the warmest hugs I can,
Karen x
