I found out I was 5 weeks pregnanct in november last year, however it was an ectopic pregnancy. Thus I had to go in for a surgery to remove my baby and I''m struggling to deal with the loss. to make matters worse, my boyfriend ( who was the father of my child) decided that he wasnt go to with the loss and decided to terminate the relationship. How do I get over this emotional turmoil? will I be pregnant again? what vitamins should I take in order to prevent this in the future? what else should I do in taking care of myself in order to make sure that I lessen the chances of this horrible experiece happening again in the near future. please help!!!

That man is horrible but you need to learn a lesson now that no ring on the finger no baby, otherwise how will you cope with all this man dumping you at the slightest sight of misery. You can still be pregnant only one fallopian tube is damaged you still have another 1.
