Q: Ectopic pregnancy and future fertility

This may seem vague, but there's a lot going on. I had a miscarriage at about 5.5 weeks. It wasn't confirmed exactly, but they had done blood tests and ultrasounds just prior to my passing.... never got back to me, but was feeling better and no bleding 4days later.

Two weeks later, i had some serious pain, but I thought it was just constipation, as I was out of town and not eating that well. Came home two days later and started to bleed. Went to Dr who scheduled some appts. Ended up in Emerg the next AM with serious pain- tender in belly and felt like cervix had been beaten with a bat.

More ultrasounds and fluid was evident outside uterus (blood). And a 7cm x 2 cm mass in my tube. They thought it was ectopic, so emergency lap was performed.
Turns out it was just a lot of blood, but the end of my tube looked a little frayed (possibly the ect preg blowing out the end). That's all i was told and I'm nervous.
I don't hurt too much now, 3 days later, but the bleeding is getting worse. I don't know what's 'bad'. I've been left in the dark.
I was trying for 2 years to get pregnant, so I'm just wondering how much this will affect my fertility as well....

any info would be appreciated. Smile thanks

First of all im so sorry you had to go through all that!! I hope you are feeling better now. Also, what did the doctors say about your fertility? One thing i can tell you is when it comes to fertility and problems with it you really need to push the issue with your gyn. They love to give you the run-around with everything, at least that is my experience. I think it is important that you make a list of ALL your concerns , even if some seem silly to you and make an appt to talk to your doctor. That way you will be ready to get some answers.
My other adivce to you is to stay calm, dont stress over it, i know it is very very hard not to, but trust me it wont help anything to constantly worry.
Most likely, if you give your body time to heal you will be fine and go on to have a healthy baby! Just remember you DID get pregnant, so you know for a fact you can, and with some time and healing I bet you will again and carry to term.
also, you should talk to your doctors about the bleeding getting worse, be forceful and make sure you get an answer that you are satisfied with.
I wish you the best of luck. Im also trying to conceive and having a difficult time, please wish me luck also!
