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
6 pregnancies, 6 losses
A couple of weeks ago I got a surprise BFP. Well, obviously it wasn’t totally surprising as we are still trying to conceive, but every cycle I get my hopes up only to have them dashed so didn’t think this would be any different. Nevertheless, something in my head told me to test, so I did and the beautiful words… Read More
Recurrent Miscarriage appointment
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
