Guest guest Posted March 27, 2001 Report Share Posted March 27, 2001 Crystal, I am so sorry for your losses. That is a lot to handle. I am glad that you found us and hope that you will find support here. I had an ep in October 2000 and lost the tube.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Crystal, WOW another Southerner. Here's a great big hug coming out of Memphis straight to City. I can certainly understand your fears. My EP was last July and I did lose my right tube. TTC after that whole experience (trauma) is very frightening but I guarantee we can walk you through it. Although I hate to see that you had reason to find this group, since you did, I'm glad you were able to. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2001 Report Share Posted March 28, 2001 Crystal, I am sorry for your losses, but you have found a wonderful support group. If you ever need to vent or have ?'s this is a wonderful, safe place to come to. Me and my boyfriend lost a baby on dec.7 2000 I lost part of my left tube. I had emergency surgery because I had already ruptured. It is so devastating to loose your baby and a tube. I have found a lot of sanity and comfort from these women, I hope you do too.---Keri > > hey all > My name is Crystal. I am new to the group. I have a little girl who is 3, > her name is .
