I can’t believe today marks 8 years since we officially started trying for a family. Today is also a year since the Ectopic was diagnosed, although surgery didn’t take place until the following morning. I never believed 8 years ago that we wouldn’t have our family by now, and I didn’t believe a year ago that we wouldn’t at least… Read More
Recurrent miscarriage follow up appointment
Nearly 2 weeks ago we had our follow-up recurrent miscarriage appointment. Whilst we were in the waiting room I was trying to work out which Dr we’d see based on how the patients were being called. I was pretty sure we’d see the Consultant, then another Dr appeared from nowhere and called my name. She was the Registrar I saw… 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: 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
