TTC after ectopic

HiI thought it might be good to have a thread for women ttc after an ectopic pregnancy, or those in their "waiting period" to begin ttc again after treatment. Trying to conceive after ectopic has its own particular difficulties, IME, because of the fear of it happening again. If there is anyone out there who has experienced this and wants to talk, I'm here.My story: I had my first ectopic earlier this year and was treated with methotrexate. I waited three months and conceived again in July, which became a chamical pregnancy. With both of those pregnancies I just knew that something was wrong - although I did not have a single "classic ectopic" symptom. Then in August I was thrilled to become pregnant again and this time the pregnancy seemed completely normal. Unfortunately it was another ectopic in the same tube as my first and this time I lost the tube. I'm recovering from the surgery and feeling rather shell shocked at the moment. The first time I had an ectopic I thought it was just bad luck, and lightening would not strike twice in the same place. Then it did, and it is huge thing to process. I very much want another child (I already have one) and feel like time is getting away from me.So, if anyone is going through this too and would like to talk, please pipe up. Or if you have been through this and come out the other side (preferably with a successful pregnancy to show for it) please could you post? I could use some hope right now. Thanks

Hi all. I would like some advice if anyone can. I suffered a ectopic in 2011 and have been trying ever since with no such luck. The periodic left me with only one tube so I know it's harder to fall pregnant. I keep getting paranoid every time I'm due my period to wether I'm pregnant this time or not and its really getting to me and I don't know what to do. It's as if I'm desperate to have a baby. Please can anyone suggest anything x
