Re: 2nd ectopic in 6 months 🤦♀️
I had an ectopic but it resulted in having methotrexate. Since then I've got pregnant once more it ended in a chemical. It's just been very hard not knowing if I will ever conceive or have a successful pregnancy.
It is only a week since it all happened, its important to take your time to come to terms with it all. Then if you do decide to try again, you've been with your partner for over 2 years then you could think about ivf which will likely be free.
I've been through IVF 3 times. The thought of it initially was quite scary to me. I thought I'd never do it and it really wasn't a bad experience at all.
Re: 2nd ectopic in 6 months 🤦♀️
So sorry for your losses and two traumatic events in such a short time. I also had 2 EPs this year.. mine were on the same side, first treated w MTX last Feb and second with a salpingectomy 6 weeks ago. A bit different from your situation in that I still have one tube left, but I wanted to message because I do share your pain and frustration at not having any known risk factors or explanation for mine either. My first EP was hard, but with the 2nd one it's been hard not to feel defeated. I've been back at work for 3 weeks now after taking 3 off, and I struggle with energy and focus. I sometimes get completely overwhelmed abd swept away by grief, sadness, and fear.
I did talk with another woman on the forum in the last month or so that lost both tubes and was planning to move to IVF. It should be fairly easy to find our convo in the recent-ish one if you'd like to talk with someone who, like ChaoticBlues, is taking the IVF route. And Im here too if you'd like to talk some more.
Take care and rest up - your latest EP is still very close and although it won't get easy, it will get easier with time. . Cam

Re: 2nd ectopic in 6 months 🤦♀️
Just wanted to share that I’m currently going through the same thing. I was diagnosed with my 2nd ectopic this week. My first was in August and in my right tube, this time my left. You’re right, it’s not fair. I’m wishing you healing, physically and emotionally.

Thanks for sharing your experience and making me feel less alone in this
Wishing you healing, I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. Just want you to know you’re not alone x
I’m due to go back to work in a week and I’m feeling a lot more positive and well in myself. Give yourself time one ectopic is traumatic let alone 2 so close together. I’ve been doing some counselling which has helped a lot; definitely recommend if you’re feeling it’s all a bit of a struggle
Hopefully you’ve had a relaxing and joyful Christmas
Re: 2nd ectopic in 6 months 🤦♀️
Just wanted to say I understand how you feel, I’m also angry, upset and feel so isolated not wanting to see anyone (all my friends are pregnant).
Hope you’re all doing better since you posted on this thread and sending lots of positivity and luck to all of you xx
Re: 2nd ectopic in 6 months 🤦♀️
As much as I hate having had to experience two EPs, Im also grateful to have others like you who understand the struggle. LDD and rmartioski, sorry to hear about your experiences. I agree with Elocin, therapy has been core for me in the last year and I'd also recommend it. This weeks is one year since treatment of my first EP and it's been tough, though I'm usually finding that anticipation is worst than the day of. I've been finding that mental recovery is a longer/harder journey after my second and am trying to give myself some grace and space to heal, even if I wish it were 'over'. Be kind with yourselves, this is an extremely hard thing to go through. Im here if anyone needs to talk.

Thanks for your reply, as you say it’s horrible experiencing this but knowing there are ladies like you out there who have unfortunately had to experience this too makes me feel less alone.
I’m really sorry this week has been the one year mark for you, I know how you feel I’m already thinking about mine coming up in a few months and already feel so anxious anytime the thought crosses my mind. That’s reassuring to hear you’ve found the anticipation worse than the actual day though.
I’m glad therapy has helped you and Elocin. I’ve actually arranged to have therapy starting next week as I’m finding it really hard to cope with everything after the second ectopic, so hoping that it might help me even if just a little bit.
Look after yourself and sending you lots of positive vibes xx
