I would really love to hear from people who had a successful pregnancy after an ectopic.

In hospital, in pain and feeling sad after having one of my tubes removed after a ruptured ectopic.

Obviously grateful for at least being safe as I apparently lost a lot of blood, but feeling worried about the future.

Therefore would love to hear success stories of conceiving with only one tube.

I'm 35, have dd from a previous relationship, but would love to give dp a child. 😕

I did - and she came from the ovary on my tubeless side. After the surgery it took only 4 months to conceive. The doc told me that everything is very close together, so it is not a 50% reduction in fertility as some claim. I later read a paper that said that Fallopian tubes pick up eggs from the opposite side as much as 30% of the time.

I also conceived twice more since then but they both miscarried because I am old.

So please, don't fret. Take time to heal and take care of yourself. Flowers
