Is It Finally Over? Post-Ectopic Pregnancy Test Results One Week After Surgery | Let's Talk IBD

Even after surgery for an ectopic pregnancy rupture, you still have to be monitored. One thing checked is my HCG level, and the other (that I requested) was a blood count. After the blood loss of the rupture, I wanted to ensure I was heading in the right direction. There will be many levels of healing for this experience - physically and mentally.

Hi, I'm Maggie and I have Crohn's disease. I am thrilled to be here sharing my personal experiences with Inflammatory Bowel Disease as well as living with an ostomy. I'm proud to share a little bit from a clinical experience as well, having worked as a GI pediatric nurse and ostomy telehealth nurse. I am so glad you are here. ♥ #ibd #crohnsdisease #ostomy

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I am a bit further out from the surgery than in this video and still healing well! I'm really happy with how things are progressing and how I feel. ❤

[@lindaainslie8578]

I've had a hysterectomy because of the evil endometriosis. In that they went in and took the bits out. The pain was not my friend in any way. The cut is in the same spot yours is in. I needed 6 erka to recover. I was a house cleaner at the time. There was no way I could clean my 20 houses until I felt right inside. You will feel the pulling. My doctor said it's normal. None the less I walked. I had 50 steps to do on my building. Pace yourself. Sit when tired, go for a walk and take in Gods beauty. You are truly a wonderful inspiration to those you connect with during these up hill climbs you face. 🇨🇦

[@OgramRavot21]

I had to have an emergency hysterectomy from a pregnancy that died in my uterus. Long story short, I was losing so much blood and my doctors were telling me if my blood platelets went down 1% more they wouldn't be able to do anything for me. I was out of it almost and not by drugs, I was losing too much blood! I had lost a ton before going into the emergency room. I kept telling my doctor "save my uterus" there was nothing else they could do. I either passed out after signing the papers to let them do the emergency hysterectomy cause I don't remember anything else. Ne:t thing I remember is being in my room hooked up to the morphine machine and it was giving me a headache. I had to buzz the nurse to ask her to turn it off. I think they gave me pain meds by mouth, if needed. I'm glad your feeling better. ❤

[@OgramRavot21]

I can't reply on the main comments for some reason. KZbin keeps changing.

[@itsbubbles4021]

Don’t carry heavy things try to do minimal lifting don’t lift more than 10 pounds

[@tracy3418]

What did you think of these patches? The instructions on the pack are a little confusing. I've been using them for the last few weeks as well.

[@MAwithMKloves2knit]

My Dear! First, your tears were never annoying. Each of us watching were wanting to reach out, give you a hug and let you get a shoulder wet with your tears. Never apologize for honest emotion. This has been an emotional journey for you and thank you for letting us share in it. Know that your emotions are mental but also physical. All the hormones you've taken certainly affect emotion and enhances them. It is a part of your attemp to get pregnant, getting there and then the fall. Give yourself grace to be ok with what you have been through and time to decide where you are going. We'll be here as long as you want. PS Some of us are old enough to feel the pull to be a stand-in mom.

yes 10000000% exactly what I am thinking and i think so many of us!

[@karenmilitello9884]

May God be with u.

[@suzanneporter738]

Hey Maggie! I'm a retired gynae nurse and I have seen many ectopics. You really need to remember that you have several skin layers behind that that needs to heal and if you do too much that isn't going to happen or worse, you will damage the process of healing. You also have an area inside where the fallopian tube was "detached" which needs to heal so if you overdo things, you will set yourself back and most likely get more pain. You can gentle walk and only do very light things for at least 6 weeks. As a nurse yourself, you know how these things work, so just be good to you and take things slowly xx

[@dawnbaker7861]

Agreed

[@Teenywing]

I really hope she reads your comment ❤❤❤

[@tardusmerula6102]

Certainly not drive a car by yourself this soon while on recovery....

[@RebeccaOsterbergFamilyandMusic]

This!

[@A---ti3zz]

I had to drive myself and shop and everything after my open hemicolectomy. Sometimes you don’t have a choice.

[@AusNetFan13]

Gawd Maggie, you’re far too precious for us than you imagined. Your infectious smile is a killer. Yes, heal your body and soul now. Revisit in a year’s time or longer if you desire. Do you have a public box that we can send things to you and Zak? Sometimes it’s the gifts that convey our thoughts better than words. So many 🤗🤗🤗 for you and Zak. Please take care.

[@4cats2008]

You are lifting pretty heavy stuff for just one week out of surgery! Take it easy, girl!

[@catherinebeckwith1017]

Nothing heavier than a gallon of milk. No driving 4 to 6 weeks. Careful on your stairs. I could only go up once a day.

[@frankgriffin7562]

You are up again, and we are so glad. How about that 200k, that is something to brag about

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I am so glad that I am bouncing back like I am! And I am shocked! We just hit 100,000!!

[@nessabridge5019]

Here in the UK advised no driving for 6 weeks after surgery, can be longer after c section! Please be careful. Don’t over do things as it can come back to bite you. Love you so please take care

[@LetsTalkIBD]

Unfortunately there are times when having someone else drive just isn't always an option. Thankfully I felt very comfortable driving.

[@nadineevans5195]

You're moving so well!! I almost bled out after my c section and my hysterectomy. I certainly wasn't moving like you were one week post op. Lifting and twisting groceries into your vehicle. Wow. You're a trooper.

[@youheather766]

I thought the same!!

[@Decgyrrl]

I did, although slowly. It was in 2012 when I had my hysterectomy. I was 52yrs old & single; therefore, I had no choice. I did my laundry, grocery shopping, paid bills, and went to the doctor, to see how I was healing. It wasn't easy, not at all, but I did it all by pacing myself, and if I didn't feel like doing that day, or the day after I didn't. Yet, I couldn't leave it for too long. And I recovered very, nicely. Thank God.

[@teijaflink2226]

Good that she can move so well one week after, her surgery was probably smaller even if open surgery. Hopefully the pain is better.

[@carmenslade3656]

You have to heal (body & mind) it’s still a process that takes time. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@ykook7000]

💯 a lot of time

[@margievanhandel259]

Maggie, your flowers and plants always take you to a happy place; your eyes twinkle and you smile from ear to ear when you talk Gardening! Just want to say, people deal with grief or heartbreak differently. Some are more emotional (or sensitive) than others. I'm typically not an emotional person myself, but verses of a song, words harshly spoken, can cause a waterfall of tears. When we love deeply, and are caring individuals who want to see others being happy, I think we may naturally hope for the same in return, and feel rejection and diappointment so much more deeply when we evaluate our own experiences.

[@betsybabf748]

So happy you are having a good recovery. You know your body best, and you have a nursing degree so trust yourself. Your flowers are gorgeous.

[@nedawilmhoff3599]

I wore a binder for a while after my two vertical C-sections and hysterectomy. Those muscle getting cut take a while to get strong again. Prayers for healing. I have always waited until my steri strips started to curl off before I removed them.

[@SharpLife4]

They don’t often cut the muscles. They separate them. I’m few people that cut them but it’s a last resort and not common

[@katenickels617]

I am amazed at how well you are moving. I could barely sit up after a ruptured ectopic for like a month many years ago.

[@JenniferLKersten]

I agree I'm day 4 post op and I'm still in so much pain just laying around. I'm 39 though so she's a young chicken compared to me. Are you planning to have a child after your ectopic?

[@deliasequeira]

You have a whole community of folks rooting for you. Thank you for sharing your journey. I had to stop mine due to some changes in my health status. Let's see if we can restart in the near future.

[@Danajanene]

I had a total hysterectomy at 19 and it of course was open... I can't remember how long I was in the hospital....but I can't tell you how many days I literally crawled from room to room.... you are doing a great job.

[@juliefondurulia679]

Really great to see you feeling better. I find gardening healing. Hope you enjoy your plants. Take care and heal well.

[@jjivy6310]

RESOLVE was the infertility support group that I attended way back when I was going through treatment. Good luck. Infertility treatments are an emotional rollercoaster.

[@donnaalexander7490]

Maggie, I've had 2 c-sections and yes, you will feel tight in the surgical site for a while. You may also have some numbness (I am still numb in certain areas 35 years later :).

[@LetsTalkIBD]

You're right - it is numb! It feels bizarre. Hoping most of the feeling comes back over time!

[@79attiya]

May You be protected against any evil eye. I am in awe. My ospital discharge after c section in Pakistan was on day 3. N there was no way I was allowed to leave home even on day 10. You are by the grace of God moving, driving, vlogging, shopping and all on your own. Stay blessed girl.. you are a warrior ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ilonamollema6467]

Dear Maggie, First: congratulations on your 200K subscribers!🎉 Second: please, don't say sorry for your tears. They are so legitimate. No wonder you are crying, and I know it will remain difficult for a long time. So cry if you want to cry. It was quite the journey! Sending you a lot of love and hugs from the Netherlands ❤🇳🇱

[@catherinecolucci9396]

Hi there, I watch your videos bc my daughter 23.. has Ehlers Danlos and has a GJ tube and digestive issues. You are a very helpful positive person who makes these things just “normal” in our everyday life. You are so strong … and your tears are a part of your strength. No apologies. Sending love, and good vibes and everything positive to you ❤

[@reneklein6049]

Sweet Maggie. I felt twinges watching you in the grocery store. Picking up the vinegar and the soda. Glad that you got home safe and sound. You should rest. I know how hard that is to do. Grief counseling is a wonderful thing to do. I only wish that my own daughter would have done the same. Your flowers are beautiful. You are probably out of breathe due to major abdominal surgery. It takes a toll on your body. I'm sorry. You are so allowed to be emotional. Such a traumatic, and emtional experience. Big hugs. ❤❤

[@childofgod6116]

God bless you and Zack. You both have been through a lot. I'm happy to see you on the mend.

[@lindadugas9292]

So glad you are feeling better!! You have had so much to deal with .slow and steady when and if you are going to get back to your fertility journey you will know when the time is right. I went through a similar loss. Didn't think i could do it again but as time went on i healed and i wanted a baby so bad. i ended up having 4 i am so blessed. It was struggle but worth it. I will be praying for you . I feel you are going to be a wonderful mom someday.hugs

[@sarahann4007]

Your videos have been a God-send! I just had a procedure to look at my kidneys and ureters due to years of kidney pain. Your sharing about the stent experience was very balanced and informative and helped me understand what my experience may be like. I’m now a couple days out from the procedure, with bilateral stents, I had biopsies done and they found a lot of bleeding in my ureters, per my surgeon they both looked like “sandpaper”. The pain is not fun with stents and your sentiments about pain control issues are so true! Learning you were a Peds Nurse just made you that much more relatable, I am as well 😊 Hoping you are doing well now!

[@helengarrett6378]

You are pretty grand, Maggie. You are doing what's sensible and helpful.

[@tamaliraney8165]

My mom suffered with ulcer colitis for so long and she did not get the colostomy bag she just didn't want to mess with it just want to say you're a very strong woman and she would be very proud of yourself❤

[@debbiekotch6006]

Your body has been through a great deal. You need to take time to heal. Relax and take care of yourself. it's only been a week. you'r going to feel tired and queazy at times.♥

[@shenazpatel8195]

Hey Maggie, your crying was never annoying!!! I was so worried about you!!! I am glad you're smiles now!!! Take care

[@melanierosalez6989]

Your crying was not annoying at all. 😊 Also, i like how (at the end of the video) you explained your focus or mindset at this point in the journey.

[@cgomez77]

So very proud of you!!!!! Can’t wait for the next update!

[@becks3302]

Maggie, you have every right to cry. Youve been through so much and its definitely not annoying at all. We are all like your second family on here and you sharing your story may just help someone.

[@nursegirly3248]

Your feelings are so valid it will absolutely take time to process mentally what you went through. You have to recover from a scary situation and also a loss. The best thing you can do for yourself is to just do the things you love and heal ❤

[@michellebridges2604]

You are a warrior! Can't believe you are driving! Take care of yourself and have a great weekend ❤

[@LetsTalkIBD]

I'm really happy with how well I've been doing since surgery! Initially was rough but I'm bouncing back!

[@carolswearingen2109]

Sweetheart so glad that you're feeling better.

[@marikotrue3488]

Glad you are better. That tight feeling near the incision while walking and sitting down along with the sneeze pain, is very normal albeit scary and uncomfortable. Once the strips are off, try highly concentrated aloe gel (warning it is "chilly" also) to ease any topical irritation. I was somewhat surprised to see someone out of surgery so recently lifting and setting down grocery purchases into the car. I take that as good news, health-wise. I too have had several planned surgeries along with two emergencies. It is oddly amazing how placid, calm and routine a planned surgery can be when you can compare it to one that turns into an emergency. Thanks for sharing so much information with all of us. Coming from a former nurse and a You Tuber that I trust, I consider all information received on this channel enormously helpful. BTW thank your significant other, his "bye" made me jump, but then even my cat can startle me so....

[@lydiadale7024]

Glad to see you are feeling better. Continued prayers for your recovery.

[@zenamorgan1754]

Maggie, please don’t feel that you have to apologize for crying. What you went through was a frightening and harrowing experience. Please know that all of us that are watching. We are just loving you and saying prayers for you and just glad that you are here sharing your story with us. Please take it easy videos can always be made later on. With all my love, Xena Morgan.

[@crazycatlady6922]

Sending gentle hugs and prayers. Please rest and do lots of self care. I'm 20 years out from my ectopic, which was traumatic and also ended with surgery. Your body will heal but your heart...your heart will forever feel it because you move on but honestly you never get over the loss of your baby, especially one that so desperately wanted to be, as much as we wanted them. The way I can deal now is by blocking out the details. This is the first video of yours that I have watched in a few weeks, throughout your ectopic experience. It is all very triggering to me. I'm glad I watched this though. My heart breaks for you. Life is just so unfair. Keep the faith ❤

[@HanksGirl98]

Never apologize for having human emotions. We all handle things differently and if it’s any consolation, I am like you when it comes to being emotional. You have gone through so much in the last few weeks. Allow yourself to heal and focus on positive things that make you happy. As for being anemic, I too deal with anemia. Several weeks ago I had surgery where I had a lot of blood loss. Because of that my hemoglobin dropped to 7.7 which lowered my blood pressure also. I ended up being given a unit of blood which raised my hemoglobin level to 9.7 and I was able to leave the hospital the next day. I had started iron infusions a few weeks before my surgery and finished the iron infusions for three weeks a month after my surgery. Because I am not able to absorb the iron in pill form naturally, I get the infusions. They really aren’t bad. Maybe it is something that you can think about if your anemia continues. Wishing you continued healing and beautiful, peaceful days ahead! Hugs from NJ. ❤️ (P.S. I LOVE hyacinths!)

[@lceec7012]

You are so precious. You really help so many. Praying for a speeding physical and mental recovery. You deserve only the best.🙏

[@taylor3950]

Your hyacinths look amazing! I love their scent too

[@madelinecoats1017]

Hi Maggie. You look a lot better and I hope you are doing really good.

[@kunibob2]

I'm so glad you're pursuing therapy. My pregnancy loss was technically pretty mild on a biological scale, but it combined with a lot of past trauma and I fell hard into PPD (which, until then, I had no idea could happen without carrying to term.) I worked with a Reproductive Psychiatrist, and she was incredible. Once I did get pregnant with my rainbow baby, I was still carrying grief from my loss, and my emotions went haywire and I felt a ton of guilt about it all -- I was so happy to have a professional in my corner helping me through it. No matter what comes next for you, you deserve to have an ally who can support you.

[@ruthanneluvsvacuuming6653]

I definitely did the wrong thing and I would yell at anyone else who did it. A few days after I got home from having a C-section I moved all the furniture and vacuumed. I had a baby and a 2 year old handicap child at home who needed to be picked up to care for them. OCD doesn’t take a break because you had surgery.

[@kathygillman5450]

It's hard when you have no help and things you have to do. I did the same but only had one 2 year old at home. Vacuuming is one of the worst things to do, buy what do you do!

[@allisong2159]

I haven’t read all the comments to see if this has been suggested but it may still feel a little tight because it’s still a little swollen where they made the incision. I’m glad you are feeling better. Sending hugs!

[@sarahs3637]

So glad you're thinking about therapy, Maggie! You deserve it. It is such a great part of self care.

[@christinephillips3435]

You are doing really well .

[@GuineapigGuardian]

15:05 YAY I promise you, it DOES work. I donate blood 🩸 so I use that very same iron product. My iron levels hold steady at 15.9 with an iron-rich diet. 👏🏼 glad to see you’re getting better and taking care of yourself! Stay safe 🫂

[@lauramn5883]

First, you are amazing I’ve had 3 c-sections. Your incision is exactly like mine. Please don’t be like me. REST

[@susansmart8086]

So glad to see some of the flowers from your garden. I really enjoy seeing them and I wish there was smell-o-vision. Keep doing whatever it takes to keep going. If videos help, then record. If you need to take a breather, take a breather. We understand.❤❤❤❤❤

Hi Maggie, I had ectopic pregnancy earlier this month and i had one dose methotrexate shot which worked because of low hcg level ( 724 ) and i m still healing emotionally. Its really hard to cope up. Please take care of yourself. Eat healthy and sleep well. I promise you after all the dark side there is light at the end of the tunnel. I love you ♥️ for your courage and hope speedy recovery ♥️

[@sallysmith4231]

I do feel like you are doing too much , we wouldn’t be able to drive in the UK for 6 weeks after because of insurance would be invalid. Youneed to be super careful but at the same time you are my HERO ❤

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

Tears are to be expected after what happened its ok just take one day at a time and heal yourself.

[@grrlmom]

Have you tried ice on the incision? I had emergency surgery for a ruptured appendix and ice was the only thing that helped. I also think now is a good time to stretch out in bed or on the couch and plan out your flower beds for the summer (try something new) and your garden. Research on what grows best in your area and what different fertilizers work best. Draw them out on paper. Throw dinner in the crock pot and enjoy the good smells during the day. You HAVE to take it easy. My incision opened up because I did not listen. Please take care of yourself!

[@ashleylombardi7239]

I went through an emergency c-section because my son wasn't handling the contractions well. It was terrifying. I was extremely traumatized by it. I had pictures and a couple videos of it and I couldn't look at them for months. It was my first birth experience during the pandemic, in May 2020. I am just now trying for my second. You take all the time you need. Everyone heals in different ways and in different lengths of time.

[@801LOVER]

Thank you for sharing. Life is so hard. We never know what everyone is going through. Loved seeing your flowers!

Speedy recovery Maggie. God Bless you🌹💕🙏

[@doglekim]

I do not understand how any doctor can allow someone in pain to not get the relief they need... What is going on with the way women are being treated? When I was young, they told me the pain I was feeling with my period, was all in my head... We are going backwards at an alarming rate... I'm sorry you were put through the trauma of suffering... They should know better... Xoxo

[@standup2982]

I agree, it makes me very angry when especially women aren’t given adequate pain relief, especially after surgery. It’s just not good enough.

[@kmk5219]

I had open surgery to reshape my hip a few years back and ended up with a c-section like incision- they also sell the silicone just in roll tape which I still use and they also are great to lighten the scaring!! Sending you the love and support in the world Maggie

[@sherry8894]

I'm so very sorry for all you have been through Maggie. Abdominal surgery is really painful afterwards. I had 3 C-sections and I remember feeling like my incision was going to rip open. I can relate to you when you said that you sneezed. That happened to me too, and it was awful. I'm glad you're doing well and doing things you enjoy. And if you feel like crying there's nothing wrong with that. Sending you love from Ohio ❤️

[@bilgegnome9308]

Maggie, Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm about to start my first IUI cycle in a few days time, and watching your videos has helped me feel more prepared for a possible worst case scenario!

I just had a hysterectomy at the end of February. Mine was robotic assisted. I didn’t have any surgery pain but good Lord, the gas pains. And sneezing and coughing sucked.

[@standup2982]

Hi Maggie 👋 Please, never apologise, you have nothing to be sorry for. Your tears aren’t annoying in the slightest. You’ve been through a huge trauma and I’d be concerned if you weren’t in tears about not only your losing your baby but the whole experience from start to finish, resulting in an emergency. It’s a hell of a lot to process and I’m glad that documenting your journey and being vulnerable by sharing it is helping you to do that. I totally understand that. You know what, I think that as women we are more open than men with our emotions. We have a natural tendency to be able to talk and express how we feel, whereas men tend to not do that, even with their peers who are close friends. Talking is good, it’s therapeutic, so no more apologies ❤ You are doing so well, and I’m so glad that you were able to get the pain relief for over that weekend. It makes me really angry when women go through these types of surgeries and aren’t given adequate pain relief. It’s just not good enough. Jeez, it’s not as though we beg for a year’s supply ffs 🤦‍♀️ I’m not surprised that you don’t want to think about fertility treatment. You need to heal not just physically but mentally and emotionally too first. Your flowers are just beautiful, so pretty and are such a lift to have them in the house. Much love and continued support from England 🥰🥰🥰
