Eptopic Pregnanacy
Im so sorry for not letting my concerned friends know the latest until now.
I went to the doctor as I was scheduled to on Friday. They did a urine test. Positive. They did an ultrasound and determined I had an eptopic pregnancy.
They took me immediately to surgery as these are dangerous to the mother and can cause death. I had been experiencing some symptoms of tubal pregnancy, but I didnt realize it. Wasnt paying attention to my body I suppose. I would have been 11 weeks tomorrow.
The pregnancy was obviously terminated on Friday afternoon. Im told that there is no reason for tubal pregnancy, although my history of Endometriosis and poly cystic ovaries, or PCOS put me at greater risk.
Im doing alright I guess. I wanted to just die on Saturday, as I felt like the decision was so out of my hands. It wasnt like I got to choose. I wasnt sure I wanted to have a child, but isnt it supposed to be my choice? I guess not.
Friends tell me its for the best and all that, which I know is true. It doesnt make it feel any better though.
I have not contacted you know who, as I knew that would be less than helpful to have him around during this. I was however told by a mutual friend, that he was admitted earlier this week for profuse bleeding from him nose and mouth.
It seems like the more I try to hide, the more my HP hands me and is saying, "Pay attention!"
Anyways, Im so happy to have you all for support, as I truly think I have been given all a girl can handle.
Love to you all

It was not meant to be, by the sounds of things. You must have been through the whole range of emotions recently - please be gentle on yourself. Sometimes these kinds of situations focus our minds on what we want and need in our life, particularly surrounding our health.
Take care

Thank you all so much for your support.
Im only working a half day today and tomorrow, first day back. Just not feeling so emotionally up to it yet.
It will get better though!

I was beginning to worry about you. I guess your post explains why you have been away. I am so sorry for your lose. I helped my sister through an eptopic pregnancy so I understand the gamet of feeilngs. As a nurse, keep in mind you are dealing with all the hormones of a regular pregnancy. Please watch for a post partum depression. This is especially hard since you are empty handed. If you don't mind me asking were you trying to concieve? This must be so hard on you. I hope you have someone around to help you. I babied the heck out of my sister both physical and emotional. Keep sharing through this trial. No more going awol, everyone was wondering about you!!!! With my condolences,
