Story

It's been a long few weeks. After many years of secondary infertility, endometriosis and 2 miscarriages . We found out we were expecting. We were over joyed and finally felt like things were going in the right direction. Things took a turn fast One second, Of planning for our new addition to every other day blood draws and low progesterone. Then starting hormone therapy. Monday 5-13 my levels were not looking good and I was thinking I was having a miscarriage. But the pain was unbearable, I could no longer walk on my own or do much of anything. I made the descion of moving my ultrasound up, resulting in it saving my life. I had an 18mm ectopic pregnancy attached to my fallopian tube and right ovary which is very rare and most people have never seen anything like this . This explains my pain and my bleeding. I have been internally bleeding and didn't know it all along . At 6pm Wednesday i was rushed into emergency surgery that will forever change our lives. I lost my right side fallopian tube. My last tube (lost the left side in 2021 from endometriosis). My fertility has been forever altered in a way that I'm not sure how to process. I am no longer able to have children naturally. We are home and could use some support as I regain my strength and recover. I thank Twin Cities Midwifery for being by my side every step of the way and checking in with us. I thank hcmc and their team for their rapid response to my needs and Dr. Eric Heegaard and his team for coming together for me keeping me involved in my descions and plans and also taking the time to hold my hand in the operating room. Thank you to all who have supported us are checking in everyday . 🙏 we truly love you all.
