WHEN CAN I TTC AFTER AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY?

I would say dating is very important when trying again after an ectopic as it is very nerve-wracking when you get pregnant again, and you will want to arrange an early scan at 6 weeks to check all is well. It is good if you have had at least a couple of normal periods and are pretty sure what stage of your cycle you are at.

I waited three months after my ectopic and I definitely needed that time to recover as I got pregnant again immediately. I am very glad I gave myself a break in between!

Was just about to post and then realised that lulumama had written some of what eg on people to talk to.

I think the timing thing is a very personal thing. Even with my best friends experience of ectopic (which took her to hours from death) the obstetrian said to ttc was soon as SHE was ready. Physically she recovered quite quickly (despite being nearer 40 than 30) but emotionally she was quite rocky. That said she was pregnant her next cycle before her follow up check and now has a lovely 6 month old. Not suggesting that you should start tomorrow, just see how you go but make sure you are looking after yourself now. Lots of nutricious food and TLC. Only YOU will know when you are ready x

honey..you need to recover from surgery....

i imagine that 6 weeks after you will be healed physically pretty well, it is whether emotionally ready

i think the 3 month rule was more to do with dating a pregnancy and the dating is so much better and more accurate now, but i might be wrong..

yahoo group here and ectopic trust will no doubt have excellent info for you x

I think the general advice is to wait three months to give yourself time to recover, physically and emotionally.
