TTC after ectopic

[dpr89]

Hi,
Has anyone that had an ectopic pregnancy started TTC again before having the first period?

@Sunflower1235 @Sealover123 hopping back on this thread to share some hope - I had a tube removed Dec 2020 and fell pregnant second month trying in Apr 21.

I was told to not look at statistics - sadly some people are more prone to ectopics due to issues with their reproductive systems, hence may struggle. However if you have an ectopic due to sheer bad luck apparently you are no less likely to fall pregnant again with one tube, as it moves?! Creepy but reassuring.

But there is hope! And rest assured the care you receive post ectopic is amazing - either you will be bumped up the IVF list early if you need to be, or you will be taken care of with early scans and proper monitoring if you conceive naturally.

Best of luck!

@SorryForTheRant Aw thanks for sharing your positive experience! That's great it only took you 2 months of trying! 🥰

Thanks for posting and giving hope to us 1 tubers out there. It's also comforting to know we will have access to early scans and treatment; I'm going to definitely be politely pushy about getting everything I can to ease my mind!

@Sealover123 how u getting on? I have period cramps think I’m out this month :( on to the next

Started my period a few days ago :(
On to next month!

You're still in until AF arrives, cramps could also be a good sign! Hard to tell x

Ah I’m sorry :( they’re def period cramps! Anyway it’s fine still early days for us both on to the next :)

Hi @Sunflower1235 sorry I don't use MN very much these days so missed your message back in March!

All I can say is what I said before really- the 2% drop was what my surgeon said to me. My ectopic seems to have been a case of bad luck rather than anything sinister so everything else seems to be fine. And I got pregnant again the second month of trying and he's now 21m. I did ask for early scans the next time round and I got a scan at about 7 weeks to check everything was in the right place. I didn't have to fight for it or anything, they were quite happy when I explained why.

Good luck- you'll get there xxx
