Hey, just wanted to say that my husband and I tried to conceive for nearly 5 years. Had 2 losses in that time and did 5 iuis that all failed. Didn't really feel comfortable with ivf nor have the money for it. Kinda just tried to come to terms with being childless, and now here I am 19 weeks pregnant! Naturally conceived! It was all God, nothing I did or anyone else. It's truly possible, it could happen for you too! Keep the faith ❤
Don’t give up hope! There are many people who get pregnant after an ectopic. I know someone who had an ectopic and needed emergency surgery. She had 2 healthy pregnancies after the ectopic. She didn’t need any assistance to get pregnant after the ectopic. There is hope! We’re here to cheer you on!
Maggie, you can't get let this get you down. Babies are worth the anxiety and effort. It's hard. Not denying all that. I was told I could never have kids too. But for all the effort and difficulty I can say having my kids is the hardest and best thing I did. I'm 83 today. My kids are middle aged. They have been everything to me all my life and continue to be all that to me. If you can have kids that's so nice. I also have step kids I love just as much. We are a big family but it's wonderful to see them and share in the trajectory of their lives. Good for you.
My Bestie had an ectopic in December 2022. They removed one of her fallopian tubes. She gave birth to a healthy baby girl this past April. I pray that you have as many babies as your heart desires. God Bless you 🙏❤
I'm a Crohns person and an older person. My son is 20. I just wanted to give you my not opinion but advice. With what just happened with ectopic pregnancy and how very hard that was on you emotionally and I'm sure mentally and knowing how stress and anxiety do a number on our bodies (my head and GI tract are connected). If I were you I would do a couple of rounds of IVF I understand that it is more expensive but you know you can get pregnant on your own so you would probably only need 1 round that round gives you a 48%, and it goes up the 2nd round to 61%. Those odds are much better than what 10% each cycle. Just a though wishing you love and luck
The hard part is right now you are doing this for an unknown dream. Reality though is you are doing all this for that child. Once you know that child if asked what you would go through for their life, you would do anything, even lay down your own life without question. You're just doing it all before you meet him or her, but they will be here someday and will the best human being you will ever meet in your life. 💗💗
Hi Maggie. You taught me 90% of what I now know about caring for an Ostomy patient. My husband’s stoma completely CLOSED a week ago. We would LOVE if you could spread more awareness about this
I can’t wait for what’s in store for you. I have two grandkids after my daughter’s ectopic and my grandma had 6 pregnancies after hers. This will happen for you!
Thank you SO much for sharing!!! There are very few people in the ostomy/IBD community that also are sharing about pregnancy/fertility things!!!! Thank you! Prayers for your family growing in the future, safely!!!!
So regarding the tubes - they are not actually attached to your ovaries. There is tissue that helps direct the egg into the tube and obviously the closer one to the ovary is more likely to 'catch' the egg, but it's not impossible for it to drift over and be caught by the other one. (Diagrams of the reproductive system make it look like everything is attached, but it isn't!)
Thank you for this update Maggie. Coincidentally I recently learned that a family member has been having IVF, I am not aware of all the details but I do know that a baby girl is expected later this year! Wishing you all the luck in the world and sending hugs from the UK.
I’m an ostomate due to UC and I have one child through an IUI medicated cycle and one child through IVF. Our bodies are complicated but also miraculous. Prayers and love to you and Zak who deserve the world.
I can’t wait to hear about the next steps. I know you’ll have a successful pregnancy this time. I’m just putting the vibes out there. You’re amazing and trust in your body. It can and will do this for you. Good luck with everything. ❤
Talk to ur doctor. But my fertility specialist told me with fertility treatments (maybe only ivf) your risk of another ectopic is not higher. If u have a natural ectopic that's different
I went through infertility with both my boys. They are 25 & 30. The 25 was a fraternal twin & I lost his brother at the end of the first trimester. I never regretted going through it for one second, even through the month after month of negative pregnancy tests. It is worth it.
You know that y'all will be in my prayers for whatever choice you make. My ex coworker had 4 children after an ectopic that cost 1 of her fallopian tubes. Now she's a grandmother! I also know first hand the feelings after losing a pregnancy. I'm not gonna lie though, kids can be hard! It's the hardest, most rewarding job ever. I once told friends that even though giving birth was painful, I still wish babies were born with an instruction manual 😂
Good luck with your appointment! I have been down this road with fertility treatments and an ectopic. As my Dr said to me, you did it once (got pregnant), you can do it again (I did). Keep the faith. Would you be open to sharing the supplements that you take? Or have you shared previously in another vlog?
I have Crohn's Disease and currently Iron Deficiency Anemia which I've had repeatedly before. I've had two Intestinal Resections and am less capable of absorbing nutrients from food and supplements. I am requesting that you do a video on your experience(if any) with Anemia and anything you may have found to be helpful. I've been watching your channel for at least 5 years. It's been long enough that I don't remember how far back. Thank you for everything.
If it helps, when my period came back after nursing my kids, it was "regular" but I would still be a few days off and that's normal. After what you went through, I don't believe that is unusual and I studied midwifery since I was 12 because I wanted to be a midwife. I never got there, but I still know enough to deliver a baby in an elevator in a movie LOL I'm glad you're doing good after all you've been through. You're an inspiration.
Girlfriend, as a mother, do what is best for you and Zak. My gosh the medical adventures you been through you could write a book. And it would be a bestseller. Just remember there are many options to become A mother. As a mother you take care and best to you both. 😍
@@missfluffs2000 It’s a great option for anyone that cannot have biological children of their own and instead of putting your body through in vitro which is extremely hard on a body and the disappointment of it failing
@@LetsTalkIBD I must have missed that. But there are So Many babies and young children in the world that need a loving home and family !! And it’s less expensive than and stressful on your body that Has Already Gone Through So MUCH !

Women only can get pregnant not just people.
I can't wait for "My life with a newborn" video. I hope you get there in the next few years.
I'm a 77-year-old guy and can't wait to hear that too.

Its always scary after losses. Everything will be good this time around.

Maggie…. Why not start a Go Fund Me page? I, as well as many followers, would donate to help you start a family.

Have you ever thought about Adopting ???
Yes and I have spoken about this many times. ♡
This is a useless question. Why do people ask it. It’s not the same

IVF bypasses f.tube, therefore safest. Money will come and go...why not spend it on what will make you happiest. Get a personal loan! :)
