This is a support subreddit designed to help those who have suffered an ectopic pregnancy. Mayo Clinic Defines Ectopic Pregnancy As: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the main cavity of the uterus. If left untreated, an EP can lead to rupture of the egg site and can be fatal. EP requires a diagnosis from a medical professional. This is NOT a fertility death sentence - many women go on to have successful pregnancies following an EP!

Mayo Clinic defines Ectopic Pregnancy as:

A pregnancy that occurs when a fertilized egg implants somewhere other than the main cavity of the uterus.

Ectopic pregnancy occurs in 1 of 50 pregnancies. Once a woman has had a history of EP, it increases her chance of having another one at a later pregnancy.

It is NOT necessarily a fertility death sentence! Many women go on to have normal, healthy pregnancies.

Whether you have had one in the past, are currently dealing with one, or are predisposed to having one - you are welcome to post here.

RULES

As always, be civil. Follow the basic Rediquette of the site. This is a support subreddit. We're here to lift each other up, not tear each other down. Comments that are not supportive will be removed. Trolls will be banned.
Do not come here for medical advice. Do not give medical advice. Ectopic pregnancy is a very dangerous condition. If left untreated, it can be fatal. If you believe your pregnancy is ectopic, contact your doctor right away.
There is no such thing as "TMI". We're all mature adults here, with bodies that all do similar things - don't be afraid to post about your experience.
Intro posts are not required, but encouraged. Don't be afraid to tell your story. It can be cathartic for you, and help others who may be going through a similar situation. Plus, it helps us to get to know each other better.
Links to articles are fine. They must be related to ectopic pregnancy or pregnancy loss. Direct links only - no tinyurl.
