Hi Earlier this week, I was sent to the local hospital under suspicion of an appendix attack - although previous ultrasound and blood tests were clear. After more blood and urine tests, the reason for my pain was uncovered. A positive pregnancy test was revealed to me by the ER surgeon. I laughed at him. You see, in 1999 I had a vaginal hysterectomy, (due to cancer)and everything including my cervix was removed - except for my left ovary. Yes... it is possible to conceive a child after hysterectomy. I am proof. (According to the specialists that I have seen in the last few days.. I am the 9th person in the recorded medical history - worldwide, to experience this). I have two boys, age 11 and 14 from a previous marriage, and my husband loves them tremendously. One of the first things that I told my husband when we started dating was that I could not bear children, he accepted that fully. He has no living biological children - except the one that has miraculously been created in my empty womb. I had no choice but to take the shot of methotrexate... and begin the process of teminating this unborn child. The waves of grief are incredible. The guilt for terminating the pregnancy is so huge and all consuming. I am angry with God for giving us this gift and then not allowing us to bring it fully into our lives. I am mad at myself for not being able to carry this child and honour my husband. My husband says that we will see our baby when we get to heaven. The doctors are excited about the 'special patient' they have to care for, and I am getting great medical care, but I want them to leave me alone so that I can grieve on my timelines. I understand the excitement for them, and the studies and resulting papers that need to be written.. but it is too much to live with. Thanks for listening to me babble on, please pray for us to endure this time and lean on God for understanding and peace.

Tammy, I think you will find this site very helpful in your grieving process. All of us have an unfortunate common bond. I love this site because we also have another thing in common: Jesus. He has given me hope and healing and I know he will for you too. I am praying for your family. Sharon

Tammy, Wow that is so heartbreadking. I hate that doctors can be so insensitive. I am glad to hear you have a wonderful husband who suports you and is there for you. I don't know if i could go through what you went through. It reminds me of my 5th miscarriage. I had a cervical etopic. I never heard of it till I saw it on the ultrasound. My baby had implanted in the cervical canal and the doctor tried to pull it out with forceps but couldn't reach. Then he called multiple staff in to look at the ultrasound and educate them without my consent. I was already upset and in pain and then to see all these unsympathetic eyes watch me was too much. Afterwards I was so mad at the doctors and the interns that I just wanted them all to go away. I was miserable because if the baby would had implanted in the right place i would just given birth last month. But the doctors didn't care how I was feeling they were just so amazed at what they were seeing. But I have placed my faith back in God's hand. And like your husband said i will one day be reunited with my children. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tammy (and Shan), Oh...I really feel for you both! I can't imagine the rage I would feel if a doctor did that to me. Trust me, I am learning just how insensitive some of the medical industry can be, though. These are not medical experiments...they are our children!!! I am so very sorry that they are obviously too dense to get that! I just wanted to say that someone cares what you have been through! With love and great respect for you, Lisa
