If you have any [ectopic pregnancy symptoms](ectopic.org.uk/ectopic-pregna...) please visit your local EPU (Early Pregnancy Unit).
Hello! I’m back to posting content normally now and I really wanted to touch on my recent TTC journey so far first before continuing with regular vlogs.
In October 2023 I found out I was pregnant and 24h later a scan showed an ectopic pregnancy. I had expectant management and we took a break.
I fell pregnant again end of April 2024, and another scan showed an ectopic pregnancy, in the same fallopian tube and in the same place.
I had surgery for the pregnancy, tube removal and an ovarian cyst whilst they were at it! And I’m now in recovery.
I really wanted to share this talk as I appreciate how isolating and scary both ectopics and birth loss can feel. Hopefully this makes some people feel less alone!
If there’s one thing to take from this youtube, it’s to always trust your gut instinct (and act on it), to advocate for your own health and to listen to your body.

I just want to say I think it's really great that you've shared this story. A lot of stories around this subject are, understandably, very sad or traumatic. I think it's very helpful for others to see this and see the hopefulness and gratefulness you have throughout your journey. It's also a great lesson in knowing your body and understanding your health. Wishing you all the best for your future journey to conceive xx

Thanks so much for making this video! I am not TTC yet but plan to be in the next couple of years so finding out about the EPU is super helpful to know. I watched this mainly because my mum had an ectopic around 1990 and lost a tube then, and wanted to know more about what she might have gone through. She went on to have me and my brother 😊. Your point about listening to your body also really resonated, as I'm pushing for a diagnosis to explain my chronic pain and fatigue atm after a long time gaslighting myself about it. Thanks 🧡

Thank you so much for being so open, honest and vulnerable in sharing your journey. I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy which resulted in the loss of one of my tubes. It's an incredibly difficult experience to go through and I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this. You're not alone and I'm sure in sharing your experience, will also help anyone else suffering like we have ❤️ I'm sending you the biggest hugs and so much love sweetheart ❤❤❤ xxxx

Mollie, I’ve only recently started following you as someone who is currently a size 18. However, I’ve really enjoyed watching your vlogs generally. I’m so sorry you’ve been through what you have in your fertility journey but your real yet positive attitude towards your future life be that with or without children is inspiring. Thank you x

Bless you Mollie. My daughter went through your second experience a few years ago. Physically she healed well, however mentally it took her longer to come to terms with what she'd gone through. So dont put pressure on yourself. Cry if you need to. Thankfully my daughter's in a completely different place now and, thankfully, a different relationship and when, or if, the time comes that they want to try for a baby she will be much more informed. Thank-you for this brave blog. Love to you and yours. X

Big hugs Mollie I am glad you have talked about your experiences. It’ll help you and others as well. I had two miscarriages over 20 years ago and no one talked about it then and information was incredibly difficult to find. Like you thought the info I did get helped me so much. Whilst neither of my pregnancies were ectopic the first involved an orange sized cyst that the doctors were far more concerned about. It left me with scarring on one of my ovaries. I wasn’t offered any counselling in either pregnancy and after the second It really hit me, especially as my cycle didn’t return for nearly a year and the doctors were dismissive of my concerns. I felt helpless, ignored and then angry. Thankfully I had private healthcare from work so I got to see a wonderful specialist and was given hormone tablets and was pregnant six weeks later! I was given weekly scans and went on to have a healthy and easy pregnancy. I now have two healthy children but I still remember the due dates of both of the babies I never had. Everyone is different but you may find something puts you back a bit emotionally during your journey so be gentle with yourself. Fingers crossed that you are sharing good news in the next few months 🤞

I appreciate you sharing your story. It can feel so surreal talking about the experience. I had an emergency operation for my ectopic pregnancy in February. It feels so far away but sometimes still so raw. It really helped sharing my story, It make me more connected to myself and other women than ever before. Listening to this has pushed me to get private health care. It took my hospital almost 2 weeks to confirm if I had an ectopic or not, it was traumatic. Never been so scared in my life because I knew how dangerous it could’ve been and how far along I was supposed to be. I also was in for 3 days and took me weeks to recover 😭 I feel like that’s not a normal experience. I couldn’t even walk for 2 weeks. Thank you for sharing. I’m going to request a follow up about it all 💕 your beautiful energy and mindset is inspiring x

Thank you for sharing. I had a ruptured ectopic 27 years ago. It was traumatic and I ended up very lucky is what the doctor told me. But no one talks about it. My husband was incredibly supportive but my family was not. I’d had major surgery with loss. It was a long recovery. I will tell you, I conceived 2 years later and we have a lovely son. I’m keeping good thoughts for you as you move through this journey. Again, thank you for talking so openly. ❤

Hi mollie, I hope you read this ❤ thank you for sharing your story and experience around loss and Ectopic pregnancy. I've sadly had 4 losses now, 1 of which was ectopic and it was by far the most traumatic. Give your self the time and space to heal, grieve, be pissed off and tell your story as many times as you need. The female body is amazing - my trusty right fallopian tube has got me pregnant twice since my left was removed! I'll be routing for both our rainbows 🌈✨

Thank you for sharing this and it's nice to hear that you're doing well in your recovery❤ I unfortunately had a ruptured ectopic when I was 25 and I was very close to losing my life that was thankfully saved by the NHS. I ended up losing my right tube. I never mourned the loss of the baby but struggle still today with the fact that it happened to me. I do though look back on it and think about how incredibly strong it made me and thankfully after 2 years of TTC I fell pregnant with my now beautiful 1 year old. The 2 years were incredibly hard but the moment I had a 6 week scan to find out that the my now son was in the right place was one of the most incredible moments of my life. I wish you all the best and I love your attitude towards the future. It's the way to go. You're incredible ❤️

I just had to reply to this as I had a ruptured ectopic that almost ended my life. I lost my left tube as a result. I'm so happy to read that you now have a beautiful baby boy 🥰 I suffered a number of miscarriages after but was never able to carry full term. Sending you so much love and light sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️

@AmeliaRane Ай бұрын

I’m so sorry you’ve been through this, it’s so unfair. I’m sure you sharing this will help so many women feel less alone❤ I’m also sorry you had that experience with the EPU. I had to have an early scan with both my pregnancies as I had bleeding with both, and there was almost no wait time. I just rang up, got told to come in at a specific time, and I was seen within 15 minutes. I expect every hospital is different xx

@siancross8675 Ай бұрын

Totally understandable to want to make this video and talk about it all. Full respect to you for managing to explain it all so well. I’ve been through it once and you still taught me more about it. I also get a bit of medical anxiety and had never heard anyone describe it like that before which also really helped me. Thank you so much for making this video. And I’m in the ‘lucky left’ club too by the way 😊❤

@emmalcm Ай бұрын

Yoy're so strong for sharing! The part I found hardest about going to the hospital when I miscarried was that I had to sit in a room full of women who weren't all in worrying situations. Some of them were waiting for normal pregnancy related appointments with obvious bumps and there were children running around too. I was finally pregnant after almost 2 years of trying so when I started bleeding at 10 and a half weeks I was absolutely heartbroken. As far as I was concerned I was already a mum. 6 months later I got pregnant again. I was so nervous and didn't want to get excited for a while but we now have a healthy 7 month old baby who I'm so grateful for. I have my fingers crossed that one day you get your beautiful baby x

Thanks for talking so frankly about this. Got PCOS and fertility and thus health anxiety is something I think about quite a lot, but don't often speak about. Not trivial at all to be doing your make up in this. I think it speaks to how human this experience is and how much we need to normalise speaking about this. Thinking of you. ❤

We’re literally going through the same thing at the same time. An ectopic, a miscarriage and a 16cm dermoid cyst (somehow not picked up until I complained for the 3rd time) I really appreciate the honesty and detail of this video. I’ve felt so alone. ❤

@Stephlovesummer Ай бұрын

Firstly - thank you so much for sharing this. I am your age and thinking about starting a family and also have health anxiety. I have a friend who has had a similar journey to you in the last year and I feel like I can better understand her journey now but also it’s reassuring to understand what power I have to check myself if I get pregnant so thank you. I’m only part way through so you may speak about your tubes but I know people who are struggling with ttc can have a dye put in their tubes to see if there is scarring in their tubes (often from various female health conditions like PCOS). This can help understand the health of their tubes and if there’s blocks, I don’t know if scarring might be connected to ectopics but I just didn’t know they did this until a friend had it privately and it was extra information on the health of her tubes which helped with her choices moving forward. But I am really sorry if I am overstepping and giving unsolicited advice, I am so grateful for you just sharing and also sending you and your partner so much love ❤

Oh Molly, this really takes me back to October 2021 when I had my first ectopic pregnancy - also during baby loss awareness week. Unfortunately I had a ruptured as I was 6-8 weeks. Finding it all out by myself because of covid measures 😒 was awful. It all happened very quickly but also very slowly, because it took them 48hrs to arrange my surgery which was pretty late by then. Very risky and very traumatising indeed. Sending so so much love your way and thank you for sharing your story 🤍🤍🤍

@joelgarf Ай бұрын

Hugs xxx I agree definitely go in if worried. I knew I could have blocked tubes so when I had bleeding and a bit of pain around 5 weeks. Turned out to be identical twins with one placenta (high risk pregnancy). All was OK but I needed to be closely monitored.

@Sezables Ай бұрын

Having had two ectopics, one resulting in a surgery and the loss of my right Fallopian tube and the second I had methotrexate to resolve it. The first time I had never heard of a pregnancy outside the womb, my doctor diagnosed me with a uti, even though I explained I was pregnant and having stabbing pains, had the surgery two days later after going to the early pregnancy unit. The second I found out by accident - I needed to do a test ironically before IVF treatment. I found the treatment at hospital both times to be more traumatic than the actual ectopic. If it hadn’t been for my husband thinking more clearly than me I would have agreed to the second operation to remove my remaining tube - even though they couldn’t find an embryo there. He shouted loud for me and I was given methotrexate. I was also given a hysterectomy pamphlet after my operation.. the aftercare is very different. Thankyou for being so honest, it’ll help other women recognise the signs ❤️

Dear Mollie. I recently discovered your channel, and I love you. I recently had the most disappointing experiences with a retailer that I started ordering from and they cancelled all 3 of my orders that I meticulously placed over 2 months. The truth is I am a very large lady, working in Tanzania and all my clothes are heading for the trash. If you have any ideas to share of international shipping online shops, that is not Shein, I eould be very grateful.
