Thanks everyone, again, I appreciate the support. Luckily, my mom and dad had arrived here on Tuesday for a visit so have been here the entire time, too. I feel better today, just very, very stiff. Slept for a good nine hours last night and I don’t think I moved much. ---

Glad to hear you’re okay, sorry to hear that things turned out the way they did. Take it easy for a while - that’s got to be a heckuva stress on your body. ---

Having experienced a ruptured ectopic pregnancy myself, I do know what you’re going through. I’m really so very sorry–I had been hoping for a better outcome for you. I, too, lost the tube and the ovary on that side, as well as about a liter of blood abdominally. Recovery was tough, but worse was the fear of not being able to ever have a baby. Of course, everyone is different, so I can’t make any personal guarantees, but it might encourage you to know that I now have three children. I’m not trying to gloss over your pain because I know no one can (you wouldn’t believe what some people say to “comfort” you–the worst I got was “Well, at least you weren’t far enough along to have felt it move yet.”). I just hope you have your happy ending someday, too. ---

I’m so sorry to hear about what you’ve been through! My story was somewhat similar, though the tube hadn’t ruptured fully. I lost it and an ovary, too. I hope you take good care of yourself. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/im-pregnant-but-i-fear-its-doomed/587956.md?page=9)
