Removal of Right Fallopian tube after my ectopic pregancy

[Colleen21]

I had a miscarriage in Feb. and it has broken my heart, till this day i have cried every single night wishing i could of held our baby in my arms. I had an ectopic pregnancy with the baby being in my right tube. The doctors had given me a shot of Methotrexate or something like that it was called, hoping it would  diminish the baby in my tube before it had burst. A week or too after i had gotten the shot, i was having really bad cramps and went to the er. The er doctor had burst my right tube open and had to have emergency surgery to get it removed...I still have both ovaries and my left fallopian tube, is it still possible for me to get pregnant? If  this has happened to anyone please share your story with me, i am hoping to hear some encouraging responses back. Thank you!

Hi. I'm so sorry for your loss. My ectopic was back in 1996. I was misdiagnosed with a threatening m/c and sent home to rest, two days later I could hardly get out of bed, when I finally called my dr, he met me at the hospital where they did a vaginal u/s and saw it was ectopic. I opted for the procedure where they go in through your naval and blow out the tube, well as soon as the incision was made my tube ruptured and had to be removed, I knew none of this until I was out of recovery and my DH informed me of what happened. I spent 6 days in the hospital on the maternity ward devistated. I thought I would never be able to have another child and my heart was broken. Within a few months I knew something was up so I took a HPT and to my surprise it was positive! I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in 1997. I hope my story helps to ease your mind and give you hope. My best to you......Lori

Hi I wanted to share my story with you. i suffered an ectopic last year 4 days before xmas. I new i was pregnant and had started plannning for my first child and i was over the moon, when i woke up one morning and felling strange and faint started to get shooting pains up my arm into my shoulder which is a common sign but i didnt know that at the time.  I was 10 and half weeks gone whn i was rushed into hospital after collapsing twice, the doctors said i was bleeding badly internally and rushed me into theatre. I had to have my right tube removed as it had ruptured and my baby i am still to this day devasted and cry all the time so i feel your pain.  I will say that i will never get over the loss and how it happend and when the doctors told me i was lucky i thought lucky, how? i lost my baby and was helpless.  I was an hour off dying due to the amount of bloody i lost had two tranfusions.
i later discovered my aunt had the same thing she concieved my cousin two yers later and i know so many ppl who have suffered ectopic and gone on to have healthy babies so your time will come im sure. You have to stay positive and i know it isnt easy. I had 5 friends who have had babies on five consecutive months all around the time when my little baby would have been due which made it even harder, but i know who i do finally get pregnant i will cherish them more than ever, as will you.
I know a lady who had two ectopics and has now only half a tube and fell pregnant twice and has two healthy children.
your ovary will over compensate for the other one.  You will be amazed how you body works when parts arent funactioning as usual.  Keep your chin up your time iwll come.

hi Colleen21. I am so sorry for your loss dear. Having been through a miscarriage myself, I can totally understand your pain.
Yes, it IS very much possible for you to conceive again. However, at this point I know it is natural to get negative feelings and get depressed, but please try to keep positive. One of my friends had ovarian cancer at 19. She had one ovary removed. So the fallopian tube on that side is also no use because it would never get an egg.
But she was so strong willed, despite going through the surgery to remove the ovary and the chemo, she conceived naturally and went on to have a beautiful baby girl who is now almost two years old.
Don't worry, when it is time, it will happen, and you have age on your side. We have the ability to shape our lives subconsciously I feel.. sorry if I am too philosophical here, but the way we think, and thoughts we keep in our mind, influence our future. Be strong, try not to cry, as being low wrecks up our hormones and stuff further..
I had had a d&c last week post a missed miscarriage.. I have to wait until 3 months to try again.. at first I felt so hopeless and impatient, but now I have 'decided' to be happy. I do believe that good things need a good time, place and reason to happen. I am really trying to create a good, harmonious environment, happy and peaceful body and womb, so am sure, that my angel baby would find its way to me soon. :-) God! idk what all I write these days.. Excuse me and my emotional writeups, I am so filled with determination to have a baby these days, that I am passing all my thoughts to other women like me.
Good Luck and God Bless!!
