C section scar ectopic pregnancy

Hi ladies, looking for some advice and possibly similar stories if possible. I was diagnosed with a scar ectopic pregnancy last week (was 10 weeks) sac was embedded in my c section scar. I came into hospital two days later to have a d&c and a laparoscopy via keyhole to take a closer look and that's when they found the sac in my scar, they took it away and I bleed a lot so a ballon was inserted next to my womb to stop the bleeding. I ended up staying in hospital for 3 days. They didn't expect my procedure to be as invasive as it was, I have a follow up scan next week to check all is fine now. I just wanted to speak to other ladies with similar experiences as from what I've read this type of ectopic is fairly rare. Also was anyone told of a time frame when you can ttc again. I'm no where ready for that right now I just wanted to know for the future. Very scared of this happening again but they did say I will have a early scan next time to monitor me. Thanks for reading Xx

Hello

So sorry for your loss. You must have been diagnosed with this at almost exactly the same time as me...how are you now? I had to go in for repeat surgery a couple of weeks ago as they didn't get everything out first time, was pretty horrible...still bleeding a bit now so just waiting to see where we are now and that they got everything.
