Finally, after 4 miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy, we had our first appointment at the Recurrent Miscarriage clinic at Hertford County Hospital on Wednesday. Whilst waiting to go in the nurse asked if we minded seeing the Registrar as the Consultant wasn’t there. Of course it’s always great to see the “top bod” but to be honest, the number of… Read More
First cycle after Ectopic
I’m currently in the dreaded two week wait, of my first proper cycle following the Ectopic pregnancy. I’m not quite sure how I feel about that. I mean, a part of me a huge part of me really hopes we’ve been lucky enough to fall pregnant right away, but then there’s a part of me that’s scared to get pregnant so… Read More
Here at last!
AF arrived on Monday, a couple of days shy of 8 weeks after the op to remove the ectopic pregnancy. As much as I wanted her to show, I really wish she would disappear (preferably for 9 months). The first couple of days were horrendous; awful abdominal cramps, back ache, needing to run to the loo every couple of hours,… Read More
Ectopic: 7 weeks post surgery
The Drs told me AF would arrive around 6 weeks after the surgery, but I’m now just over 7 weeks post-op and there’s no sign of her. Typical that the one time I want her to show up she’s nowhere to be seen! I can’t even gauge where I am in my cycle as I have no idea when or… Read More
Ectopic: A month on
It’s hard to believe that a month has passed since I was diagnosed with an Ectopic Pregnancy. The time’s gone so quick; quicker than it ever does when you’re counting down the weeks to get to that 12 week scan. Physically I think my recovery has gone/is going well. I’ve rested as much as possible, not done anything strenuous, and… Read More
An unhappy New Year – welcome to 2013!
**Warning (very long post) contains some post surgery pictures** About this time last week (11.30am as I write this) I’d just been wheeled back up to the ward having come round long enough in recovery to ask where my husband was. Other than a few undignified moments, the rest of Wednesday, 2nd January 2013 is pretty much a blur. Ectopic… Read More
I WILL be pregnant by Christmas
Firstly, apologies for taking so long to update my blog. Although I’ve news I want to share with you all, I’ve just not had the time to sit down and write it all out. I will endeavour to do better in my updates from now on. “I’ve decided, I WILL be pregnant by Christmas” are the words I said to… Read More
Crazy cat lady (almost)!
I think I’m one step away from becoming a crazy cat lady, and this is coming from someone who never even liked cats, that is until two little furballs came into my life at the end of 2010! As I said, I wasn’t a cat lover, neither was Mr R. We were (are) dog people, me with certain conditions e.g. the… Read More
