Story

In March, I had an ectopic pregnancy. I underwent 2 failed attempts of methotrexate, 5 ultrasounds, 20+ blood draws, and an ED visit.  And I still ended up in laparoscopic surgery. I lost a Fallopian tube that day, but was relieved it was over. A week later, I received a diagnosis of endometriosis.

The endo caused scarring of tissue in my tube, which caused the ectopic.

For all the women who are experiencing pain from endometriosis and are being ignored—or even mocked—I hope that awareness is raised so that eventually, we can scientifically and medically understand the disease better.
