how long did you take off work after an ectopic pregnancy?

I had a miscarriage and didnt take any time off at all.

The longer you leave going back, the harder it will become.

Hi, I think it's up to you really. Did you have key hole surgery or full surgery? I had an ectopic pregnancy which I had surgery for on the 19th Dec. They had to do full surgery where they cut along my c-section scar as it was too big to remove with keyhole (I had a fallopian tube removed).

I went back to work after the christmas holidays on 5th Jan so I'd only had 2 weeks off and to be honest if it hadn't been christmas I'd have gone back earlier. I must have the highest pain threshold ever though because it just never hurt me at all and I healed really well (it was the same for my 2 c-sections).

Everybody is different, you know your own body and will know when you are ready. The doctor told me that normally people take 6-12 weeks off after surgery for ectopic pregnancies but to go back when you're ready. It also depends what your job is. I work mainly in an office although I do walk around alot at work. I wouldn't go back if it was manual work though.

Just stay off util you are ready. If you do not feel ready then you aren't.

You should get a positive pregnancy test with an ectopic esp on a blood pregnancy test which is a bit more sensitive. Signs of an ectopic are bleeding, spotting, pain and shoulder pain as well as more traditional pregnancy symptoms. Do you have a good set up for ectopic? Have you had PID or STD's in the past or surgery for ruptured appendix or surgery on your ovaries or tubes or a past history of an ectopic. If so revisit your doctor and ask for an exam and or an ultrasound.

If you have been struggling to fall pregnant, there are some useful tips that may help to increase your chances of conceiving and prevent miscarriages. Read here https://tr.im/o0yg4

Follow a healthy, balanced diet by eating plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as foods that are rich in iron, calcium and folate, essential for reproductive health

Maintain a healthy weight as being overweight or underweight can affect the body’s hormone levels which in turn makes conception difficult

Healthy weight loss can increase chances of getting pregnant; however, too much weight loss can affect a healthy pregnancy

Regular exercise such as walking, swimming or cycling will help keep you fit and active before and during your pregnancy. It will also help get you back into shape after the pregnancy

Avoid drinking alcohol and caffeine as this can make you less fertile

Hello - I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

When I miscarried I tool as much time as I needed and refused to allow anyone to put a timescale on my grief. Perhaps it was the anger of what had happened that made me feel that way.

If you don't feel ready to go back to work then don't. If you feel up to it talk to someone in your HR department or email them if it's easier as it's always useful to stay in touch.

In the end I was off work for 13 and half weeks despite my employer saying that they had "been generous and given me 2 weeks paid leave and they felt that I should be back at work". I told them that there was no way that they could impose a limit on my grief and that I would return when I was good and ready. I also offered to get a doctor's report for them to "prove" that I was not fit to return to work which my employer took advantage of although, they were a little disappointed when they read that my GP believed that one of the biggest contributing factors for my miscarriage was work stress and lack of support from my employer. Perhaps I would have gone back if they were more supportive however when I did return I went back part-time in order to make the transition easier although I did leave that job 8 weeks later when I started my next cycle of treatment. Perhaps your work will work with you and allow you a gradual return to your normal hours?

Wishing you lots of luck in reaching the decision that is right for your - at the end of the day, your mental and physical health and wellbeing is far more important than any job - there's only one you but many jobs out there.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info/

infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.

If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).

two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.

Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

i have not had a ectopic but lost my son at 26 weeks and didn't go back to work for 8 weeks, so it really depends on how you feel in your self, if you don't feel ready then don't go back yet

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating.

The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant. Anyway this is a great methid to get pregnant fast https://tr.im/fd75a

Walk your lunch outside or to another location in the office instead of sitting and eating for your desk.

Believe inside yourself. How often have you adored someone and their achievements and then instantly thought, ‘I’d love to do that, but I just can’t. ’ Don’t limit your achievements because of your thoughts. You can do whatever you should do.
