Unfortunately, also like you, I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have two shots of Methotrexate to disolve the pregnancy.<br /><br />It broke my heart.<br /><br />I went on to have two more ectopic pregnancies and ended up losing both of my fallopian tubes. <br /><br />My doctor didn't tell me that back in 1995 when I had my tubes tied in the first place, they were burned and not "tied" and thus my reversal, while successful as far as being able to reconnect the tubes, was not truly successful because the growing embryo could not pass through the tubes to implant. Something about the tissue inside the tubes being burned far past where the tubal was done in the first place so when they were reconnected at what was seen as "healthy" tissue, it was not really the case.<br /><br />I am so sorry for your loss. I do pray that your reversal surgery will be successful and that you will go on to have more children.<br /><br />I did have a daughter in 2004 through the miracle of IVF. Whether it was right or wrong, she is the light of our lives and we are so thankful she is here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881846455465705974.post-25915051952614901922011-01-21T22:05:54.785-08:002011-01-21T22:05:54.785-08:00Anonymous,
Those are incredible stories on that b...Anonymous,<br /><br />Those are incredible stories on that blog. I have chosen to follow God through my husbands guidance as I believe the Bible says for me to do. I am under my husband and he is the head of our marriage. I trust him with what is best for me. I believe that God knows my heart and it's intentions, and I do my best to honor Him through the guidance of my husband. <br /><br />I would have chosen to continue the pregnancy until it ruptured but after much prayer I left the decision in my husbands hands. <br /><br />God didn't say to never judge others. That is a nicey false statement spouted up by flippant so called Christians and others who want to sin freely and not hear about it. God EXPECTS his people to judge. If judging people is wrong, how can we obey Romans 16:17-18? II Corinthians 6:17? II Timothy 3:5-6? I John 4:1? If judging is wrong, then God has contradicted Himself and His words cannot be trusted! The Bible is clear about the importance of judging on a regular basis to properly serve and honor God. God expects us to judge.<br /> <br />I do not believe in what goes around comes around. Life didn't deal me this because of my previous post. I already had a feeling that this was going to happen with this pregnancy. In the back of my mind I suspected it the moment I took the first test. Something was just different and wrong from the beginning. <br /><br />I will not remove the abortion post. You can believe what you'd like about these situations being ironic. I don't believe they are even close. Some may disagree with me and maybe even made a different choice. I am pro-life. I do not believe that being pro-life means that both my child and I should lose ours. I don't ever believe in abortion. I just can't see how this would be considered the same thing. Abortion is a decision to end the life of an unwanted pregnancy. Our child was very much wanted and I would have done anything if it were possible for it to survive. I'm sure I can find a million after the fact reasons for why I should have made a different decision. I had the facts in front of me only and not a whole lot of time. I had a baby in my tube with no heartbeat, that may not have even been alive considering the extremely low hcg numbers.<br /><br />I have spent the past days in extreme agony wondering if I made the right decision. My husband says that it was. After my prayers I don't believe that God would have led him to that decision if it was wrong. If we were wrong we will deal with that sin when we meet the Lord. <br /><br />Again only God knows my heart. I would never intentionally harm one of my children. We have to be wise. I have 5 other children who need a mother. I have a husband who needs his wife. To risk my life when there was nothing that could be done to save the baby would have been very unwise.<br /><br />Finally, I think it is extremely hypocritical of you to spew all of your nonsense about judging others to me and then judge me. Is that not the same thing? You obviously had to judge me to even write your comment.Kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640887220425915790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881846455465705974.post-88946388666747076252011-01-21T21:23:50.945-08:002011-01-21T21:23:50.945-08:00I am so sorry , I will be praying for a quick reco...I am so sorry , I will be praying for a quick recovery , and for GOD to bless you with another child ...Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03582049801448455513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881846455465705974.post-87978392860282829322011-01-21T16:43:00.595-08:002011-01-21T16:43:00.595-08:00There are babies who have survived. http://realcho...There are babies who have survived. http://realchoice.blogspot.com/2007/11/ectopic-survival.html My sister wouldn't abort when she had an ectopic pregnancy. According to the Mayo Clinic and other studies, the baby can have a heartbeat before the 6 week mark, and it may or may not show up on tests. My sister didn't want to kill a potential life. The baby died on it's own. She did take a risk and terrified the whole family with her decision. I am pro life with the exception of the mother's life being in danger. Personally, if it happened to me, I'd terminate the pregnancy. This is why I never judge abortion or any other sin for that matter. Life has a way of dealing us the very things we judge others for. God teaches, and sometimes the teaching is painful. He said not to judge for a reason. Maybe you should take down the abortion post that you just made. Read what you wrote. There is a great deal of irony in your abortion post. You can deny that what you wrote doesn't pertain to your situation, but it does. Admit it, eat crow, and then get down on your knees and ask God to forgive you. Learn a lesson from it. First, don't listen to people who preach about all the ways people are sinning. It's none of their business and they have no right to judge others. Second, don't judge other people's sins. It may someday happen to you, and it is a very painful lesson to learn. I am sorry that this has happened to you and pray that you find peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881846455465705974.post-39674692637847326282011-01-21T14:57:53.681-08:002011-01-21T14:57:53.681-08:00My heart breaks for you.

It took them days to figure it out and they were terrible days wondering what to do if it was an ectopic pregnancy. I can't imagine what I'd have done if it had been.<br /><br />I am so happy God let you know what it was before anything ruptured. God is so good! I'm so happy your husband is such a wonderful man and helping you through all this. I hope you will be blessed with another child after you heal from this. It is so great to know you will be able to see your precious baby in heaven one day.<br /><br />My prayers are with you and your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881846455465705974.post-63834274393026404802011-01-21T13:31:33.591-08:002011-01-21T13:31:33.591-08:00I am so sorry you had to go thru this.
