Ectopic Pregnancy





May 6th 2015 was a very hard day! It started in the morning. I had woke up and made my husband his breakfast and his lunch. Then an hour later I woke up my 7 year old daughter to start getting her ready for school. I started having bad pains by my right ovary. I waited for another hour and it kept getting worse. I called my sister to take me to the hospital but 5 minutes later I could not wait any longer. My daughter and I jumped in our car and we went to the emergency room a few miles away. They took me back with in a couple minutes. Gave me an IV and sent me off for an ultrasound. They ultrasound was extremely painful, I was only 5 weeks pregnant and the ultrasound tech reassured me that sometimes you could not see the baby this early on. (I now know that this is partly true. Although you might not see the baby at this stage you should see the sack the baby is in) So they send me back to the room for me to await my on call dr to come and talk to me. He come's in the room and tells me I have three options. 1. I can abort the baby by a shot. (This is out of the question for me) 2. I can go home and come back when my Fallopian tube has ruptured. (Yea like I would know when that happened, I already felt like I was dying) or 3. He could open me up and see what the problem was. I immediately choose option 3, Like I said I was in so much pain I did not care. Just make it stop! So they prep me for surgery and I go under. I wake up and immediately asking the nurse if they had to take my baby. She told me that indeed they did along with my right Fallopian tube. My husband takes me home. It then starts to set in. I was so emotional It took me 7 years to conceive. My little family was so happy. Then it ended before it really began. I end up shutting most people out for the following weeks. I did not want people to pity me. I took this a lot harder than I thought I would. In the next following weeks. I decided to keep myself busy. Started to feel better after the healing physically and emotionally. My follow up appointment went well. The doctor recommended me to wait three months before trying again. I denied the birth control. I believe all is in Gods timing. If he wants to bless me sooner then so be it. I asked him in the event I did conceive what would happen? He then said that it would harm me but I could have a higher chance for a miscarriage. Thank you all for listening. I have more new coming soon :)
