If you lost a tube then you're working on one side only, but one is enough.

I lost my right tube and have had three babies since.

Good luck.

hi,
I had an ectopic, lost a tube and was preg with ds (now two) within two months of trying. Since then have had another pregnancy (in the right place but miscarriage) and am now pregnant again (9 weeks, right place- but bricking it in case it's another miscarriage). As others have said it's perfectly possible to get preganant with only one tube- good luck

hi
i had an ectopic pregnancy in march this year and thanks to the a&e doctor messing up i lost a tube......

i was also told that i have damage to my remaining tube so chances of me getting pregnant were slim

i am now 14weeks pregnant which has shocked my doctors

looks like i got pregnant a month and a half after my ectopic

was a massive surprize but goes to show the human body is amazing

i have had 2 ectopic pregnancys,, the 1st was november 07 and that was in my left tube which has shown up on a scan that it is blocked,, my 2nd was may 09 and was in my right tube which i had an opp on and they sliced the tube and removed the pregnancy,, im just wondering has anyone got any kind of success storys on the lines of this as i am only 22 and i am really giving up hope. please help

That's exactly right Kate. I always felt like I would rather risk another ectopic than not get pregnant again. I'm sure that we regret not doing things more than doing them. And lots of luck to you - it can (and does) work out.

Thanks for all your support, saw my specialist yesterday who has advised the best way forward is more of the same for 6 months (chlomid/metaformin) then if that doesn't work it'll be IVF but your right IVF doesn't rule out another ectopic but then neither does loosing both tubes so looks like it's just going to be another thing to worry about....

Hi Kate,

So sorry to hear oyur news. I had an ectopic last year and am now 20 weeks pregnant. However, I didn't lose a tube so slightly different. I did do a lot of reading thoough as I was very worried about the chances of a) conceiving again & b) another ectopic. Nearly everything I read states that over 60% of women who have had an ectopic go on to have healthy pregnancies (some women decide not to try again) which is very positive. I found the ectopic pregnancy website and message board invaluable and an amazing source of information and suppport.

I will never "get over" my experience and loss and can only advise you to give yourself a lot of space and time. I hope you have love and support from others xx

I had a EP in November 06 and lost my right tube. I then conceived in Jan 07 but sadly had a MMC. By May 07 i was pregnant again with DS and he too came from the ovary on my tubeless side . I never thought that this could happen but it did and hes the proof. Clever little egg boy .

Dont give up

When I had my ectopic the doctor told me I would have trouble concieving naturally in the future and may have another ectopic.

It sent me into a deep dpression and I met DD's father and he was very unsuitable and I didn't give a damn about contraception and slept with him without it.

I was late and was amazed but when they gave me a blood test they thougth it was ectopic again. I nearly died that night, DD's father left me alone and basically ended it with me there and then.

When I was in hospital being scanned to check if it would be ectopic again 3 nurses told me positive stories of pregnancy after ectopic, so heartening.

and the little sac was in the right place, amazing little dot, my DD!

I wish the Doctor hadn't been so negative as the period of time after having the ectopic I was seriously depressed. If only the postitive nurses had spoken to me I wouldn't have thought my life was ruined.

anyway, just want to repeat the positive message on this thread
