hi, my period was due on the 10th jan'08. i had un-protected sex the night before. my period never came. since then i began to get what i can only describe as hot flushes which ive never had before. during this time, i had un-protected sex twice. i kept feeling sick when eating, and especially when i drank coffee. i did a few pregnancy tests at home, all negative. i went to my gp who also did a test which was negative and he told me to go back in another week. i didnt. about a week and a half ago i thought i was coming on my period as when i went to the loo and wiped myself there was a tiny bit of blood. after that though, there was never anything on a pad, just slight brownish whenever i wiped myself, this only lasted for a few days. during all of this time, i have had sharp pains sometimes in my right hand side of my tummy. then yesterday at my friends house i went to walk out the door and was doubled over with pain in my stomach, so bad it took my breath away. after a few mins it disappeared and i went to carry on walking only for it to happen again. it hasnt happened since yesterday but this morning i woke up with very bad lower back pain that pain killers arent taking away. i rang my doc who said to do another pregnancy test and it has come up negative. could i be pregnant and is it maybe ectopic? i already have had 2 normal pregnancies.

Just wanted to share my joy. Never give up hope. I have suffered 2 ectopic pregnancies in the past. One on the right and one on the left. I still have both tubes in tact. My first ecoptic (left side), was removed laproscopically and the 2nd ectopic (right side), was treated with metrotexate (chemo drug), both times were unpleasant. But thank the Lord I still have both tubes. Last week I discovered I am pregnant YET AGAIN, scared as hell. I quickly called the EPAU (early pregnany assement Unit) at my local Hospital, and was seen the following day. I was too anxious, to find out if this was an interuterine pregnancy or not. Lucky enough it's an interuterine Pregnancy. I was told numberous times the way I could get pregnancy was by fertility treatement. I have obviously beaten a lot of odds. My messgae to others is do not give up Hope and prayers goes a long way. I continue to pray everyday for God to allow me to carry my baby full term (9 months). Good luck to all who has been in a similar position. This is my first child to be and I am now 31 years old and happily married. All the best......

i had an ectopic pregnancy two years ago. iwould like to warn other women about not being aware of the simptons
i didnt think that an ectopic would ever hapen to me , i have two children and as a busy mum i didnt listen to my body even though the pain was unbareable i just carried on looking after my children untill one day i collapsed and got rushed to hospital. i woke up in intensive care and was told i had an ectopic that had ruptured , i lost my tube and was told not to get pregnant as the other was very badly damaged , as a result i lost both and now cant have any more children .

Hi, I have had an ectopic pregnancy, I was 6 weeks {not far gone, i know]. I also lost a baby boy when i was 6 months pregnant, due to complications! I am nearly 35, i have one ten year old boy and just wonder why some woman have to go though the pain of losing their baby, to be treated like its nothing. When i had my ectopic, i was treated like i had surgery, your fine, you can go home now. aaarrhhhh Like another woman on this site said that was my baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [no one ever explained to me what happened, do we not matter!] sorry, guess am still angry. Anyway I have just found out im pregnant again, and i am so scared, im scared to get excited incase i lose it again and i want this baby so much xx

Hi everyone, I'm 29 and on 18/12 was diagonsed with an ectopic pregnancy. I was 9 weeks pregnant and all my blood tests looked as if I was having a normal pregnancy. I was rushed to theatre to have my right fallopian tube removed. I'm so devastated, I dont understand why its happened, everyone keeps saying its just one of those things. I feel like I will never get over it, I have a little boy and we were trying for ages before I fell pregnant again. I desperately wanted this baby, but people keep telling me it wasnt a baby and its not like I carried a baby for months and then miscarried. But I feel like I have lost a baby. I keep forgetting I'm not pregnant anymore. This is the worst thing thats ever happened to me. I feel so empty. Sorry for going on. Thanks for listening,

hi all, i just want to say, im so glad there are womed out there stong enough to keep trying for children, ive not long turned 20 and have just suffered my second ectopic resulting in my left tube being removed, doctors said that my right tube had been damaged and had crumpled a little bit but they had managed to sort it out. i know im only young but not sure if i could go throught the pain again, and my partner and i are not sure if we want to try again and cause heartache.
my first ectopic ended up with me turning to cannabis because i didnt want to know and think about what had happend to me and my baby.i was in shock for a while and was put on anti depressants for 6 months, it took me the best part of a year to come to terms with it, 2 years on from my first-i have another ectopic 12/12, so close to xmas. this time i knew it was going to happen but didnt want to face the facts-until i got took in for an emergency laparoscapy and removal of left tube ad baby. now im home sometimes i feel like im on my own even when my family and friends are around me. my partner is great coping with whats happened, having to do everything on his own because i cant get up and going to work to pay our bills-i feel so useless. sorry this might be a bit long, im really in 2 minds i really want to try again as soon as possible but i dont want to put us thorugh the heartache for the third time!!!
thanks for reading my blab.

I have just suffered my second ectopic pregnancy this week and after loosing my right tube (& baby) in October 2006 I was in good hands this time as my Left tube appeared to have repaired itself after scarring and the surgeons wanted to preserve it. After surgery I was able to have a Chemo drug which although unpleasant still allows a 30% chance of a future healthy pregnancy I am 31 and nave no children, my husband and I have been trying for 6 years, I just want to say to all of you that have suffered never say never and keep strong!!!!
It is nice to have sites which people in our situations can look at for support.

Hi,

I am now <a href="http://www.fertilised.com">7 months pregnant</a>, everything is going well apart from the usual "getting bigger"
pains but I am used to that after having 4 previous children.

Since my last child was born I have seriously improved by lifestyle and "tried" to become
more health conscious

I have just read an article that I found very worrying & I wanted to ask if anyone else has
heard of this.

<a href="http://fertilised.com/article.cfm/id/222454"><strong>Researchers have found the presence of numerous harmful pesticides in the placentas of
pregnant women</strong></a>

Seems the food that we eat which we thought was well made & safe actually isn't!

Are you risking your babies health by eating the WRONG food?
Here is the link to the article I found http://fertilised.com/article.cfm/id/222454

Interested to have your feedback on this please!

Thanks

hi my name is cher i would like to say my heart goes out to all the women who have suffered an ectopic pregnancy i, myself have just suffered one too and i know its not nice, but i sit here asking that same question,WHY...WHY ME...i dont understand as i have 3 children and i lik to think im sill young as im only 30.i prey that i have more children wih my partner jay, and i prey all you women have 1 too best wishes love cher x

I had a ectopic pregnancy jan of this year. Fortunately my tube did not rupture, as my pregnancy was early (6wks), symptoms were weakness,abdominal pains, constipation and generally feeling very unwell. I had keyhole surgery, doctors said my tube was ruptured but they made a small incision for stitching. Do you think this would cause scaring of the tube as you mentioned in your article. I think i might be pregnant at the moment, but not due my period for a week, i am worried sick that i might have another ectopic. Also could you tell me are miscarriages hereditory as my sister has had 2, and a lot of my cousins have had them.

Thankyou Very much,

janet Drumgoole
