Ectopic Pregnancy

Leila's Story

Thank you--thank you for your website. I just lost baby #3 to a ruptured tubal and lost both tubes. Now my only options are with IVF. I see how my "path has been directed," but it is still hard.

It has been 3 weeks today [Oct 02] that I learned my last baby wasn't going to make it to this earth. Your web site confirms what I feel, that my babies will and are part of my eternal life. It was interesting when I asked my husband what he thought; he didn't feel that the same. I think our feelings as women and mothers are different because we had these little spirits dwell with us.

Do you have anyone who has gone through IVF from an LDS perspective? I have only had one person be judgmental and give me an ethics lecture...My response was to tell her vaguely of my experience earlier this year. It is such a special and sacred experience that I still keep it private. The final message is that I know that I am to have another child. I know that some day I will write [you] and tell the whole experience, as well as the years of infertility, adoption, and the angel baby we have known as 5 year old Ashlynn (she has told us since she was quite young that there is a baby to come!)

Thank you again!

Leila
