  • This video covers what happened after my ectopic pregnancy was discovered. This includes the two rounds of methotrexate injections I was given, tracking HCG levels, and finding out surgery was likely to happen.

    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 #infertility #ostomy

    I’m 81 years old and many years ago I had a miscarriage where I was far enough along to see it was a boy. He would have been 52 years old. I’ve never forgotten this baby boy that I was going to name Aaron. To this day, I have random waves of grief. I k ow he was my little redhead. God bless you, and grieve as you need.

    I had a bit of a difficult time getting pregnant and then when I finally did, I found out it was an ovum at 12 weeks. Then in about another six months I got pregnant again. It was a super difficult pregnancy and I feared my baby wouldn't survive, but my beautiful miracle rainbow baby was finally born at 35 weeks and I realized all the sadness and pain that I went through was worth it for her. I pray you get your rainbow baby as well ❤️🙏🏼

    My first pregnancy was an ectopic too, I was 7 weeks and 4 days. I found out I was pregnant a friday, the next day I had an extreme overwhelming pain on my left ovary that didnt go away and on monday had my OBGYN appointment and after the ultrasound the doctor noticed it was misplaced and it was already ruptured, had emergency surgery and fortunately didnt lose my ovary nor fallopian tube. 7 months later, after one round of clomid to help, got pregnant but had a miscarriage at 4 weeks and 3 days. It doesnt matter how far along you are in your pregnancy, your dreams, expectations, everything you dreamed, go away, like taken from you abruptly.. and it isnt fair, we’re not prepared to loose life, we’re ready to give life.
    God has control and I hope to get pregnant soon with my rainbow baby. Praying for you! Don’t loose your faith.

    I am so sorry you are going through all this. I too had to have Methotrexate after my 2nd miscarriage. We had 2 pregnancies that ended in miscarriage. One at 11 weeks and one at 12 weeks. It is definitely an emotional rollercoaster. I had to have a D & C after each loss. We did finally have a girl and a boy years later that are now 20 & 18 now. Have faith and don’t give up, it will happen. I developed Ulcerative Colitis too after my daughter was born when she was just 3 months old. Life definitely is not fair for some of us. I pray that you and your husband are blessed with a healthy pregnancy soon. 🥰🙏🏻

    Between the physical, hormonal, emotional, mental, relational (because Zach is going through it with you), and logistical (dr appts, labs,, etc), I think you’re handling everything amazingly. There is no right way to go through this. You are reaching out for support, showing up for appts, and vlogs too?
    How excruciating for you, and now maybe surgery? Do anything and everything you need to for yourself. This is hell on earth for you. ❤
    Please know how proud this friend from the West Coast is of you. I am praying for you!

    Hey Maggie, wanted to say hello. I am a osomate from Canada. I know your video isn’t about ostomy however I wanted to let you know watching your channel gives me a beacon of hope when it comes to my ostomy journey and my other health issues. I did message you on Instagram aswell. You have shown me so many things and tricks with my ostomy and I so appreciate you sharing your trials and tribulations along your own journey.
    Now about the video. I have been watching and although I myself am male, I can’t really say I understand your struggles, so I can only imagine the emotional and physical roller coaster you are riding on. It’s gotta be really tough on top of the previous health issues you deal with. I want you to know that I wanna send positive vibes to both you and Zak all the way up here in Canada. It takes a very strong person to go through what you have been dealing with, but you truly are a beacon of light for myself, my wife and others. I really hope that this dream of adding to your family really works out for you both. Stay strong girl. I’ll be thinking about and watching your updates as you share. Thank you for all that you do for the community, I (even being male) appreciate you and your story.

    Hi Maggie! I just now finished all of your blogs, in order. From the prep of your IUI to the ER trip right before Easter. I’m not exactly sure where I saw the video about your surgery, but I did somewhere so I know the full story / at least up to the surgery.
    I know this doesn’t change anything, but I have been thinking about you many times, every day! And I’m sorry just doesn’t seem to cut it - but I am so far beyond sorry!!! 😢 You’re right 100% - it’s NOT fair!!! There was one part that did make me chuckle, but not at the situation of your pregnancy and loss, but a comment you made that only a fellow ostomate could get the humor. You were just waiting for Zak to get home so you could go the ER (the first time 😢), and you were commenting in what you had grabbed to take with you. I was totally with you, thinking about why you were going to the hospital, and you added that you had grabbed your ostomy supplies also. I said right out loud, “oh shit, you have to think about that too?” I know, of course you do. I chuckled at MY temporarily forgetting Leroy; as in, you still have that On TOP of everything else! I can hope in the midst of everything else you’re going through, that he’s behaving himself!!
    I’m going to send you another post in a few days. It’s phenomenal to see the amount of support, but you need that to continue as well!!! I know the people here have an unlimited amount of love and support for you, and Zak too of course! He didn’t have to endure any of the physical pain you did, but he lost a baby also! And I promise you that if love and support and good thoughts and massive prayers could have just scooted that little sac into your uterus, it definitely would have happened!!! Because you said it helped, I’m so glad you got to fully see the “bump” inside the sac AND the heartbeat!!! You now have a “label” of what you’re grieving - the precious baby you and Zak have tried so hard for! You tried for years to create that little “sac bubble”, and you finally did! Now only God knows WHY it took this tragic and devastating turn. My heart breaks for you 💔 but I cannot know the depth of your pain!!! I do care though - VERY much, and I’m sending all the love and hugs possible! 🥰
    My furry kids send you all their love too. Mulligan and Laney think doggie love is the best healer!!! 🐾🐾

    Glad you were in a legal state! I cant imagine the red tape that wouldve ensued otherwise, *especially* with the ectopic pregnany side of things. 😢
    I was on birth control and very consistent, but i had been admitted in November (Dec was the pregnancy admission) with a raging uti and they think the antibiotics made my gi tract more slow (im j tube fed and have severe gastrointestinal dismotility and had a very painful and leaking g tube that ended up being pulled during the December admission) progesterone only birth contorl pill was absorbed in the time sensitive period that it needs to be.
    It wasn't viable (no detection of heart beat) and I was having severe complications and serious health concerns at the time and only found out i was pregnant at 6-8 week gestation because I went to the er fot my feeding tube issues that were life threatening at the time. I got *lucky* the er caught it when they did.
    I ordered plan C via the mail from bedsider. Im in a zero legal state. Like iud's were outlawed at thw beginning. I was in the hospital with a gaping hole into my stomach wide open (its still open not as bad, but the trauma was something bad from that admissoon that im just dealing with it being open and refusing to go back in) and they had to discharge me to be like "we're in a legal state (its UPMC in PA) but since youre from a red state with bans, WV, we have to discharge you, offer you Planned parenthood info, let you handle it, then you need to come back to the ER or your gi to be readmitted. Sorry. Its out of our hands" and they obviously felt extremely uncomfortable with discharging me but had no choice.
    They didnt know there was a mail option. So i gave *them*the info after i explained i ordered it the 1st day of the admission. Only knew about it because of youtube and friends posting about it when roe was overturned.
    No comparison to your experience, but my partner and I both wouldve been ok with carrying it to term if I hadnt been in such a bad state and in severe malnutrition. Im so worried that later on when my health is stable enough to carry a pregnancy and we are trying, that we wont be able to conceive. And that grief is still very real in combination with the severe mPTSD flashbacks from the admission that it was discovered.
    Glad you have a good team on your side though! Praying you get the luck you two need to be parents!

    Hi my beautiful Maggie, I watch all your videos but I don't always comment. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻 and I'm sending you the biggest hug right now. I've had 3 miscarriages I was an RN years ago but that never makes any medical treatment any easier in fact for me it's worse. From far away I'm holding your hand. Xxxx 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖💖🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

    Maggie, have been with you on this journey, finding it difficult to comment, or to even give a "Thumbs Up" . Know it helps the channel, but that's the last thing any of your followers care to even look at on this site right now. It pains me to see how you are suffering and how challenging things have been for you and Zak. At least, the vlogging is providing an outlet to get your thoughts out. Please don't doubt yourself for a minute. We all see how unbelievably strong you truly are, even if you don't feel so. Some day in the future, there is going to be a very lucky child to have You as their Mother, and role model. I continue to keep you both in my thoughts and pray for brighter days.

    Maggie, my heart is breaking for you. I started watching you a few weeks back because I have Rectal cancer & had surgery on Tuesday to remove that and a mess of a hysterectomy. You have always been so strong & encouraging through the ups & downs. You’ll be in my thoughts & prayers.

    I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this. I had 3 miscarriages and the last one they couldn't find. My hcg levels were trippling, and that did the surgery first. Then, after they still couldn't find it, they did chemo on me. I had to go through 3 rounds of that. We had to wait 6 months to start trying again to get pregnant. That one stuck with a couple of meds that I was low in. I had to use progesterone cream until I was 19 weeks and I had to take a baby aspirin daily. So, I just wanted to give you some hope. It can still happen for you. Don't give up.

    What a horrible feeling going through all this. I'm glad you have the support of your family. I know you mentioned that you didn't want to try IVF but at least that way it would still be your egg and Zak's sperm and implanted in the uterus where it's supposed to be. Prayers to you as you go through this challenge, heal and figure everything out. 💜🙏

    My friend was in her 40s when she was trying to have her first baby and had a few miscarriages after that. She decided to adopt instead. When she brought her baby home, she found out that she was pregnant. Now, she has two grown beautiful teenage girls. Maggie, we are rooting for you. You are still very young, fertile, and healthy. God will give you children, you wait and see! ❤

    My Mum worked in IVF and one of my best friends is an embryologist for IVF and they are some of the nicest people that you'd ever meet. So clever and kind. I know that it can be daunting but they provide so much support to patients. ♥When Mum had different difficulties in her pregnancy journey with me it was a scary time. Baby me tried to be difficult - I ended up breech plus doing the splits so one leg pointing down and my head and other leg pointing up. But Mum and I made it through. Although subconsciously it must have scared me enough to not pursue gymnastics once I was born, no matter all of the gymnastics that I had done in the womb! xx
