Conceiving after ectopic

Can anyone share their experiences of conceiving after an ectopic?

I had one last year, medical management rather than surgery and I still have both tubes, albeit they said it might cause some residual scarring on the left tube.

Been trying to get pregnant for 3 months now which I know is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but I'm going into my fertile window now and I'd love to hear some positivity from other people ❤️

I have had a healthy pregnancy before, pre-ectopic.

Hello,

I don't have a positive story (yet!!) but I am also going through the same thing. I found out I had an ectopic pregnancy in October last year which was treated with Methotrexate. This is our first cycle of being able to try again and should ovulate this week.

I have also had one healthy pregnancy, before the ectopic too.

Good Luck and I hope this is the month for you!

Hey! Same, I had methotrexate too. Fingers crossed for this cycle!

A friend of a friend (so I don't know details) had an ectopic pregnancy - I think her tube was removed. She's since had a healthy baby (I'd say pregnant within the year).

That's good! My doctor did say to me sometimes it's better if the tube is removed anyway as if not the scarring left behind can cause another ectopic.

Glad she got pregnant in the end (a year feels like a lifetime though!)

Hi, not a positive story but didn’t want to read and run. I had an ectopic last June and have been trying since September, unfortunately without a positive result :( I did have a chemical in January which I guess at least shows one tube must work enough to get an egg to the womb. Best of luck and hope it works out x

Ah I'm sorry to hear that, fingers crossed for you!

Hi- I had a miscarriage in June, Ectopic in Nov (resolved naturally) and a further miscarriage in Dec. I’ve undergone tests including a Hycosy and there was no evidence of scaring or blockages “just one of those things and very bad luck”

Hi, so I had an ectopic pregnancy with surgery to remove my left tube in April last year.
We were TTC after Operation for 6 months. I was tracking ovulation, it never happened, and I gave up and deleted all my apps, etc, as I was getting fed up of being let down every time AF turned up, lol.

On a positive note ✨️✨️Saturday 25th Feb evening, I got a BFP confirmed Sunday 26th with a clearblue digi 1-2 weeks. I wasn't due on my period until the 2nd March . So, I was overly shocked at the positive result . I'm just coming up to 5 weeks pregnant and have a placement scan on the 14th. I'm so anxious but keeping positive.

Best of luck to you.
