my ectopic pregnancy story | mommed 

I had a cornual ectopic in April, 2021. We had my husband's vasectomy reversed because we wanted another baby so badly. I instantly had a foreboding feeling something was wrong the second I found out i was pregnant but I'd hoped I was wrong. Around 6 weeks pregnant, I had bleeding and stabbing pain and found out baby was ectopic. I had one round of methotrexate and my HCG more than tripled. Went for a follow up ultrasound and even after methotrexate, the baby had a heartbeat. My heart was absolutely broken knowing I had to terminate that beautiful heartbeat. Had a second round of methotrexate and that worked. We tried again 3 months after treatment and got pregnant again our second cycle of trying. I was terrified we'd have another ectopic but the baby was in the right spot this time and I gave birth to that rainbow baby 7 weeks ago tomorrow. This whole journey was the greatest emotional and physical pain I ever went through. People that haven't gone through it truly don't understand the slap in the face that it is to not only lose the pregnancy but to have to make the "choice" to end it rather than nature doing it for you. Thank you for sharing your story in order to help others know they aren't alone.

Just had my second miscarriage and my first ectopic pregnancy surgery two days ago. To say I’m angry, sad, and confused is such an understatement. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I was blessed to have such an amazing doctor and medical team who took great care of me. Unfortunately she did have to take my left Fallopian tube, but I am very thankful for my health.

Hi Emily, my heart is with you since the day I came across one of your tiktok videos; I felt connected. I am so sorry for your loss, Ive prayed and kept you in my thoughts. I am happy I decided to look you up here and see that you had updates. I too had an ectopic and it ruptured. The hardest thing ever. Hugs 🫂 to you. ❤️

I've been searching awhile for another person who had a similar story to mine. I'm so sorry this happened and I was there earlier this year. The way you explained how it felt when you had to take the methotrexate shot is exactly what I felt. It's the hardest thing out of it all. Mine actually didn't terminate from the 2 shots, I had to go a step further in to emergency surgery to remove my tube. I also saw the heart beat which broke me. It is really scary and I want you to know that you are insanely brave for going through this. Every step back is a step forward. The hits we take on this journey will make us stronger don't ever lose hope. You're in my prayers and thank you for sharing your story.

I almost lost my life 3 months after my loss. Surgery, hemorrhage, blood transfusion, 2 weeks in the hospital. I’m sorry for your loss. Don’t give up. I didn’t know I had thyroid cancer and lost 3 sets of twins. We adopted. Love him more than words can say.

Thank you so much Emily for sharing so generously your fertility journey. It truly helps to not feel alone in this journey and more normal to feel the way I feel. I watched your previous video after my 2nd day5 frozen tested embryo transfer (1st was a chemical pregnancy). My HCG was 500 at my 1st test (14dpt) and kept doubling or almost every 48-72 hours; watching your video at that moment made me feel even more grateful for my positive tests and great HCG results but also really sad for you and your husband. 4 weeks after our transfer, I went to the ER for something else and the resident did an ultrasound just to make sure everything was fine; I had absolutely no ectopic or miscarriage symptoms and great HCG and progesterone levels for a few weeks. I was told I was having an ectopic pregnancy but couldn't believe it. That day, within 12 hours, my HCG went from 3500 to 2500. Since I felt totally fine and with my HCG dropping quickly, they decided to wait and hope I would miscarry naturally. 36 hours later, my level was at 4500 so methotrexate it was! HCG keeps going down since then but it's hard and complicated (and so f*cked up) to understand these weird mixed feelings and to grieve. We also don't know what we'll do next. Thank you so much for doing this video; it really explains how I feel, which I've been having a hard time explaining to our loved ones. You're not alone in this journey. Thanks for reminding me I'm not alone in it either. Sending you all my love

I am so sorry for your loss 🙏🏾 thank you for sharing your story, it’s such important information

You are brave sharing this grief publicity. It takes lot of strength to share the feelings. It has taken me almost three years to come to accept my ectopic pregnancy and heal. I had ruptured tube and had to go to emergency surgery to save my life. I am able to understand a lot of your feelings. This loss had taken a toll on my relationship with my spouse as well. But finally after three years, we are trying again and currently doing ivf. Take your time to heal and I am praying to GOD to bless you as well as us!!

I'm so sorry for your loss, you are strong and beautiful. By you sharing this makes me grateful but I'm pretty sure it makes other women strong. Take your time healing, and I hope everything you decided makes you happy.

I balled uncontrollably watching your video My hubby and I have went threw the same thing the same time you did, our experiences are the same from early losses , the ping pong ovary pain, full blown period and getting darker pregnancy test but yet bleeding and feeling so lost and confused and my ectopic was also this October. Mine was also marked as “unknown” location and had to get two injections of methotrexate. I just want to thank you for making this video for the first time in months I don’t feel alone. I felt exactly how you felt. Taking 3 months off from trying because of the methotrexate really helped me heal mentally and physically.

Just went through this 2 days ago. Thanks for sharing your story. Wishing you guys the best of luck 🤍

Your story is just about a mirrored experienced to my ectopic pregnancy I’m going through now. Thank you for sharing your story.

Minus the ivf, this is pretty much the same as what I've been going through. 3 weeks of 7 blood tests and 3 scans. I got my injection today and it was so hard to make that decision even though it was the right one. It was a lot easier when I had believed I had simply miscarried. Thanks for sharing your story, I plan on sharing on social media too because I think it's so important to bring awareness and also comfort and solidarity to others going through the same.

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry to hear this news. I pray for your womb. I am also in my IVF journey

Im sorry you went through this 😔 You are very strong! Wishing you all the best for you ♥️🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing Emily 🙏🏻❤️🙌🏻. God bless you and your family ❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing. Currently experiencing this and it helps to hear the stories of what other women have been through 🙏🏻

Sending all my love to you❤️ I am really sorry for your loss.

I'm struggling right now with something very similar to your story, and the doctors told me that my numbers had dropped a bit so that I wouldn't have to have the shot or surgery. But yesterday I went back to the doctor and my levels had risen again and now they have offered me medication. I'm in denial and the decision is really hard to make. So thank you for posting the story and giving me a little bit more courage

so sorry for your loss! firstly, you have such beautiful eyes!!i had a still birth in April last year, expecting right now and hoping it ends well. i pray you get your rainbow baby soon!!

I just had the surgery 4 days back and I'm really trying to be strong but I can't...going to the hospital pregnant and come back home not pregnant and with a big scar it's really not easy 😥..now it's 2.05 am but I'm still awake...God have mercy 👏

Emily I am so sorry for you and your husband!! You are definitely in my prayers 🙏 Wishing you love and positivity 💕 thank you soooooo much for sharing your journey!!

Thanks so much for sharing this. I went through a very similar experience. It was so difficult. I remember how I felt after the injection too. It's nice to know I'm (we're) not alone. X

I'm sending prayers to you and your husband. I understand what you are going though. My first pregnancy was a tubal then I had a son 11 months later then I had a miscarriage 2 years later and another son and then 12 months and 4 days later a daughter. I had my tubes tied and then remarried and had a tubal reversal 13 years after they where tied. I had 3 more miscarriages and had a tumor the size of a melon and had to have a hysterectomy. Then in June 2011 my oldest son was killed in a car wreck. My heart goes out to you and praying for the baby that y'all want and will have. My god give yoy peace and confront at this time.

Thanks for sharing my daughter just lost a pregnancy and I have been saying some things to her that you say you shouldn't say. You're right. I will watch what I say

I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 Never doubt your decisions or listen to those who say you should. Your health and safety comes first no matter what. I've heard of so many terrible complications that happened when ectopic pregnancies went too long, so it's good that you listened to your body and caught it early to be able to recover. I hope that 2022 treats you well, no matter what decision you make on how to move forward ❤️

Hi Emily u and ur husband are in my thoughts so sorry u both had to experience so much hurt 😔 u are extremely strong and I thank u for sharing this really hard time with us xx love and support to u both 💖 xxxx

I went through this in june 2020 and honestly it still hurts and can't help but cry listening to your story. Im so sorry you had to go through this unfortunate situation💔 hugs to you!!

Thank you so much Emily for sharing your story this is the same happened with me I had early miscarriage last year in June and this July today I went to hospital because of 13 days continuously light bleeding with positive test doctor send me hospital and they said it’s ectopic pregnancy today I’m 6 weeks and it’s really hard but your video is really helpful for me I’m very thankful to you 😊

It took me two years to recover from my ectopic- and it was an accident. So I cannot imagine what you are going through, you are so incredibly brave. I've gone through a lot of emotions, I was angry "why did this happen to ME?", I was sad "this baby could have been xx weeks old", and now I hope "if I could survive an ectopic, I can survive anything". You've come out stronger and rainbow baby will be over the moon to have such a strong mum.

Sorry for your loss! IVF round 5 second misscairage so just like you I don't know if I want to put my body through this again I am so tired!

My 30 year old daughter is going through the same thing. She had a miscarriage in September and just found out that she was 5 weeks along again..In her ultrasound, they found out that it is a corneal ECTOPIC PREGNANCY, which is one of the most dangerous..She just had her 2rnd shot, and she is so emotionally drained. Now she is really feeling sick, and cramping, to the point she is thinking of calling an ambulance. Her husband is in the MILITARY and is in Phoenix until tomorrow night. Poor this is a basket case. Just hoping that she can go to sleep and the cramping subsides and we won't have to call an ambulance and go to the dreadful ER...You are so brave, and all the mothers that go through miscarriages..Much luck to you and your hubby..

Hi Emily, I’ve been praying for you! Glad to see you filmed this & how brave you are for sharing💖💖 thank you, im currently going through ivf and the ups and very much downs hurt like hell. Wishing for the best for u

Oh my heart goes out to you and your husband. I am so sorry for your losses. Infertility is such a b**ch. Your strength is inspiring. Good luck on wherever this journey brings you. Thank you for sharing and making Infertility/ fertility treatment feel less alone.

Going through this right now, had my injection yesterday, thank you for sharing your story ❤️

God bless you sweet heart. Thank you so much for sharing your story.❤

You're strong. I'm praying for you. ❤️

Canada health system is so broken. Went to the ER due to severe pain on my right side. I was in their waiting room for 4 hours waiting to see a doctor. Turns out I also had an ectopic pregnancy and my fallopian tube ruptured a little bit. Had surgery the next day, removed the tube. I'm on day 2 of recovering and it hurts. Thanks for sharing your story

Hi Emily, thank you so much for sharing. I learned so much and Im hoping that you do try again. ❤️

May God bless you and May you find your happiness! My prayers are always with you and other mothers who have gone through a lose. ❤️ In his time, he makes all thing beautiful in his time! We will get through it. 💞 To our precious baby Angels, we are so happy that you choose us even if it’s just for some weeks. We love you and will always love you. ❤️

I am going through my first pregnancy I found out about April 1st, 2022. Today April 12th, 2022 my levels are at over 5400 but it is an ectopic pregnancy. I am here just like you said in the beginning to hear others stories.

ive always wanted to share my ectopic story but I feel like people will talk bad, this made me feel safe like I didn't go through anything alone, but since im here I wanna talk about it because its so hard keeping it to myself and not telling my the close people around me how I feel, but I really want a kid, and I always feel like you attract what you fear, and I want a kid so bad, I feel like having a kid would be my motivation for life, to keep going, I always have this image in my head when I think of having my own kids of them running down the stairs to go to the living room and making cookies for Santa and them running to go open the gifts and listening to music with hot chocolate and marshmallows and a fire place with my mans, but I always get sad thinking I won't have a kid, even though its 50/50 I feel like that won't mean anything and its so scary, I pray to god that I will be able to have a kid. July 4th I got the surgery bc the methotrexate wasn't working for me, and I wish sometimes that I could go back and have waited bc maybe it could've changed things, but things happen, and here we are. im so sorry this happened to you, I wish you all possibilities to have a kid Emily, I cried during this and it made me feel like Im not the only one, but it still sucks that it happened and I hope im able to have a kid one day bc that's all I ask for.

Thank you for sharing this. I had emergency surgery on Friday for an ectopic and ruptured tube...I hadn’t known I was pregnant until the day before because I’ve never conceived my own and wasn’t expecting it. We have done 3 transfers and one worked. I’ve had 2 FET chemicals and 2 natural chemicals this past year. So this was completely natural and unexpected. I took a pregnancy test on a whim because i had weird spotting and stomach pains for 3 weeks. My HCG came back over 20,000 and my baby had a strong heart beat on the ultrasound. I think the only time i cried all day was when they told me about the heartbeat. Baby measured 6 weeks and 2 days. Absolutely devastated. I almost bled out and died, I had a liter of blood in my abdomen by the time they went in surgically. My blood pressure dropped twice and i passed out, once before and once after surgery. So I am grateful to be alive, but heartbroken. If I had not taken that home test, I would have passed out and died at home alone with my 2 year old there. Absolutely unfathomable. I’m so sorry for your loss. This journey is so brutal. Especially when we want these babies so badly. My heart goes out to you.

My prayers are with you love. I’m 23 and my husband and I had our 1st pregnancy back in April. When I was 7 weeks right before my first ultrasound I had bleeding it was a sunday. Then Monday went for an Emergency ultrasound every thing was ok. They just thought I was not as far along as I thought. Then Tuesday morning I was in excruciating pain my whole body was shaking I was hurting so bad. They told me to go to the er. I did they couldn’t figure out wht was wrong. Kept me overnight thought maybe its my appendix. Even tho labs and CT were normal. I made the decision to let them take out my appendix, bc if its that and they remove it it fixes it and if its not. Then we know thats not it. Fast forward to pre-op i get a call from my ob while im waiting to go into surgery she said that my labs that they’ve taken over the past couple days my hCG had dropped so it means I’m having a miscarriage and that since I’m going to already be in surgery that we could do a D&C. She explained it to me the procedure and I said sure thats fine. My appendix removal would go first then my ob would go after. When the General Surgeon opened me up she found a lot of blood in my abdomen. Which is how they discovered I was having an ectopic pregnancy, it had torn my tube and I was bleeding internally which is why I was in so much pain. Luckily they were able to repair my tube, and im thankful I let them take my appendix out or else I may not be here today. All that to say I know how bad it hurts and I wish the best for you and your husband my thoughts and prayers are with you both.

I’m currently going through this it was my first pregnancy which is compounded with my father having died in a car accident 4 months ago. We had tried for years and this was our miracle baby and now all that’s left is loss. Thank you for sharing and making me feel less alone.

I was also experiencing the very same on that same holiday in my country 1 month ago. Presently recovering

Thank you for sharing - i had a similar experience regarding the constant bleeding, except the time between finding out it was ectopic before they did surgery to remove my left tube was in the space of 2 hours. I feel for you as you had to go through the pain of constant blood tests until it was out of your system, could not have been easy. Hope you're ok now :)

Thank you for sharing your story. ❤️

I’m so sorry about your loss🥺 I actually just had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy surgery. It was really scary because they really didn’t know where the embryo was and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t in a lot of pain, but it ended up rupturing my left ovary and I had mild blood loss. I hope in the future that we can have our rainbow 🤞🏼

That’s for being so brave and sharing your story I’m so sorry . I just got the call that they suspect I’m having a ectopic pregnancy so thanks for this now I have a idea what I will be walking in. .

Thank you for sharing your story! I hope my story will help you to cope with your griff better. I feel better when I share my story as well. I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2019. I experienced dark sporting through all pregnancy. At week 7 I went to ER as I had a full gash of blood. After day in ER they ruled it as a miscarriage and I took 1 pill to start miscarriage. Next morning I had a huge pain and I fainted. Morning after that it repeated again. I was bleeding very heavy and couldn't come for my OBG appointment next day, so I moved it to (8weeks) to next Monday. All week before that I was on bed rest, bleeding with clothing, but they mentioned it is normal for miscarriage. I passed a tissue. At 8 weeks I went to OBG for ultrasound, and she didn't see anything, said no need in DC. Dr said because I lost so much blood they don't want to take anymore to check my level. So I took one more week off, as I was still full on bleeding and spent in bed 90% of my day, huge pain and couldn't be one one side of my stomach. And by 8weeks and 4 days I called my doctor again, to check on me, as I didn't see any mild of my symptoms and start to worries. She told me to go to ER, and they did an ultrasound. I could hear a heart beat! I was in 100% shock! 1,5weeks I was thinking I am recovering from miscarriage. But they said it is in my tube and my tube is ruptured it, plus I am bleeding internaly. When they asked to do emergency surgery, I just said please do it! Whatever will help me. So they took me to emergency surgery and removed my tube, cleaned all internal bleeding. I was on bed rest for 2 more weeks after that. Just want to let you know, you did everything right! You are on a right truck! Ectopic pregnancy could be super dangerous! I am basicaly was bleeding internaly for days....who knows... It took us 2 years to start IVF.. so there is no rush for us. It took me a year to go over ectopic pregnancy mentally and emotionally!

I had a cornual ectopic pregnancy, and it ruptured. I didn’t even know I was pregnant, and the damage was so severe the doctors couldn’t tell how far along. I almost died and needed a blood transfusion.

41:58 This part made me all teary-eyed. I’ve had two miscarriages in the past two years, both ending before six weeks. I have struggled with infertility since my last miscarriage. Now, I just had surgery five days ago for an ectopic pregnancy and had to remove my left tube. I found out I was pregnant at three weeks. My doctor has been doing bloodwork every two days. My hCG was more than doubling; it started at 18 and went up to 13,000. I had no pain but did start spotting dark red. So, my doctor wanted an early scan at five weeks, three days. We saw a good-sized yolk sac in my left tube. “Mother’s Guilt” is big in my heart right now. And to hear family members say, “Why did you allow them to remove your tube? They could just clean it out. That's what they did to me.” And when I ask if they had an ectopic pregnancy, they respond with “No, it was a cyst” or something else. It makes me so upset because I wanted this pregnancy, and of course, I didn't want my tube removed, but I had no other choice in my case.

Just wanted to say your very brave Emily for sharing your story. I experienced a miscarriage at 8 weeks ttc for my rainbow 🌈 baby. Good luck and baby dust to you 💓

So sorry you had to go through this torture. Hugs and love 💕

I am having exactly the same processes you’ve been through right now. My Beta is 16 and Im having a positive pregnancy but instead of having a period I’m having just spotting since my period date that it suppose to be. I couldn’t get my period because Im taking progesterone in oils. We will see how is it gonna be like after 48hrs. I want you to know that I feel you I see you that is my 4th pregnancy and loss to be… it’s hard.. a lot to take in but we will make it happen!

Thank you so much for sharing.

I feel the exact same! Don’t think I’ll jump for Joy my next pregnancy test! 😩 just got my shot yesterday

My thoughts and prayers. God is able. 🙏🙏🙏

I have a personal question what is the injection like and where is it injected. Thank u 🙏

my condolences i jus found out today that am emptomic pregnancy n i have to visit my doctor back Tomorrow to start my journey

So sorry about your loss I have been through 2 ectopic pregnancies myself both my tubes erupted. First time I didn’t know I was pregnant and second time I had the injection but unfortunately it still erupted! So I now have no tubes! I’m from the uk and was told if you only have one injection you can try within 3 months but if you have to have 2 injections then you have to wait 6 months don’t know if it’s different for us in the uk to America?

i’m in hospital awaiting surgery with this now isn’t life so cruel 😢

I just went through this last week. I had ectopic and it was in my Fallopian tube and burst and I had to have emergency surgery which ended up that they had to suck 1 liter of blood out of my tummy and removed my Fallopian tube

Went through this two weeks ago and my relationship with my partner is strained,he is detached from me in a time I need him so much I feel hopeless.ectopic pregnancy is heartbreaking

I had tubal surgery that is one month and a week now please when can I try pregnancy again

Please please please make your decision once you’ve semi processed your grief. Emily you did the right thing and I know that because it’s your life and your body, really the decision was made for you if you had not made that choice you could have died. My son and his wife are in their 7th year of infertility I truly understand.

I had the same, the line progression was just so odd, not really getting very dark, took ages to get as dark as control line. This is definitely not spoken about enough, my gut instinct meant I caught it early enough but lots of people probably wouldn’t know this is a symptom of ectopic x

My first pregnancy I had a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks. I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and saw a heartbeat. At 10 weeks my baby's heart had stopped beating. I had to make a decision on how I wanted to get rid of the pregnancy. It was SO hard to make that decision.

I am Ectopic Pregnancy this year now , Im done with my operation .

Hi am a mum to a 3 year old,1 year old and 1 week old twins.How are you doing?

Hey i need your help please reply I took methotrexate shot at HCG level of 549 and then after 4 days my HCG level drop to 1 after 2 weeks did another HCG blood test it was still 1 but still having cramping and abdomen pain breast pain and shoulder tip pain ...it has been 30 days of methotrexate shot Whats your call on this Will it rupture my tube ????

I am experiencing the very same thing as of now.. Thank you for this video I don't feel alone..

I'm SO confused why an ultrasound wasn't given instead of having you play a guessing game for weeks. I'm sorry you went through this

Just had my ectopic pregnancy 12 days ago no rupture no pain really just bleeding and had to remove my right Fallopian tube I was 7 weeks 😢

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the emotional pain. You did the right thing though by terminating. Did the doctors ever say if there was any chance on baby growing normally outside the body if it wasn't in the tubes and nothing ruptured? Or were they certain baby wouldn't develop unless in uterus?

Do you have appointment for fibroids operations, do you know any woman that's in this condition? With the help of Dr Aluda on RU-vid, the surgery may not be necessary after all.

Today is my day #15 after receiving methotrexate due to ectopic pregnancy. 😢

Stay in prayer give it to father Jesus he can do all things nothing is impossible for him

💕

I was absolutely delighted with the immediate healing I got through Dr odija on RU-vid. Keeping saving lives doctor.

Anyone here who had cornual ectopic pregnancy?

Gn I want to get pregnant

💗🖤🤍✨

I really like your videos but you need to make them shorter please

If you want your baby to be happier you could name her Genevieve if it is a girl because it is a beautiful name meaning God's blessing in French and it would suit the name of your baby or Christian if it is a boy because it means follower of Christ and it would also suit.

I was misdiagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy (which that wasn’t the case with me at all) and forced to take methotrexate to pass the sac. A week later during my follow up appointment we found out there is a second sac with a fetal pole and heartbeat! Two weeks later my baby’s heart had stopped! Dr is trying to cover this and gaslighting me since day one about my whole pregnancy! If I didn’t have take the methotrexate I would have my baby right now. I know it’s not just me! There are so many women that are going through this. I found support on a fb group called “misdiagnosed ectopic,given methotrexate” and a lot of women actually have a story similar to mine. In many cases they were forced to take 2-3 shots of methotrexate. A lot of the babies survive but they have severe birth defects! If this happened to you please connect with me or come to the fb group. We are trying to spread awareness and put a stop on this madness! I’m currently having the baby still inside me. I will miscarriage the fetus on my own because guess what! The dr doesn’t want to perform d&c on me now but he pushed me to get methotrexate for “an empty sac” that my body would had pass on its own! I am beyond upset with the situation and I do not wish this pain and loss to anyone not even to my worst enemy!

I balled uncontrollably watching your video My hubby and I have went threw the same thing the same time you did, our experiences are the same from early losses , the ping pong ovary pain, full blown period and getting darker pregnancy test but yet bleeding and feeling so lost and confused and my ectopic was also this October. Mine was also marked as “unknown” location and had to get two injections of methotrexate. I just want to thank you for making this video for the first time in months I don’t feel alone. I felt exactly how you felt. Taking 3 months off from trying because of the methotrexate really helped me heal mentally and physically My hubby and I are planning to try again now in January. Just remember you are worthy and deserving and we will have healthy pregnancies soon❤️
