ruptured ectopic pregnancy

Hi, has anyone else had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy?  I searched the forums but couldn't find a thread on a ruptured ectopic....unless my spelling is off.

I came out of hospital yesterday afternoon after going for a emergency operation on Saturday night - I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy with a lot of internal bleeding from the rupture - the pains started early Friday morning while driving to work, but I just kept on popping panadol and trying not to move much at work thinking it was it just really bad period pain or something, it wasn't untill I could hardly move and was in sooooo much pain on Saturday afternoon that I agreed to let my fiance take me to the A&E   From there I went in a ambulance to the hospital.

 My right fallopian tube has been removed. 

I didn't know I was a pregnant (I was on the mini pill and had bleeding, however not my normal type period for the last two months, it was a lot lighter).

The "mass or tissue" as they refer to the baby was 4.7x4.6x5.5cm.  Will know more when they have finished the tests in 4 weeks. But they also presumed will be around the two months due to the change in my period?

So from that date frame means we would have conceived on the night when we were in Canada at Niagara Falls where my partner proposed to me.....would have been our engagement baby  

Don't have any experience with ectopics either but just want to say I am so sorry to read this, it really broke my heart, take care of yourself.

I first found this site months ago, and every now and then I go and light a cyber candle for my baby

Have a look and light one of your own for your precious bubba, there's something quite soothing about it xx

I cant even imagine how that must be for you , just wanted to give you a cyber hug too xx

Angelina your story sounds exactly like one of my friends She was 9wks preg (didn't know) and had bad cramping went to the doctors had a positive test where they sent her for a scan and found it was ectopic and she has 2L of blood in her tummy. She also lost her right tube and she was on the mini pill!! I am so so sorry that this has happened to you

A friend of mine had a similarish experience just over a month ago. I know one thing that has really helped her a lot is just having one or two people that she is free to talk about it as much as she wants/needs. To remember that bubs was actually a baby on the way (for her and not just some random event). She had some pretty horrific treatment from some hospital staff and lots of things went a little hay-wire in the process.

I'm pretty sure she didn't loose a whole tube but lost part of a a tube but she was explaining to me about how miraculously the egg can still jump the gap in the tube (I think the gap has to be small enough though? dunno, i'm not that medically minded).

Just wanted you to know you are not alone and even though none of your friends may have experienced ectopic pregnancy they can still be there to cry/smile/laugh/weep with you.
