Advice on conception after ectopic

1 reply

GJ193 · 09/01/2024 16:18

Looking for some advice/support maybe please- I'm 30 and had an ectopic pregnancy with the IUD in March 2023 (methotrexate and surgery but no tube removal in the end).
My Partner and I have now decided we would like to start trying this month to get pregnant, with me coming off the pill. (I've been ready for a long time 😅).
However, I'm worried about another ectopic, especially with a weeks holiday booked in Dubai to see family in March.
I could wait until I am back in 8/9 weeks but the thought of waiting even longer is so difficult. (Had to wait due to many reasons methotrexate/a booked holiday last year with the risk of Zika/new job and probation period/money etc).

I'm not sure what to do and not too sure what advise I'm looking for. But maybe anyone who has gotten pregnant after an ectopic, or subsequent ectopics, how long it may have taken to get pregnant please 💕
Thank you!

I’ve had an ectopic and went on to have a wonderful baby boy. He was IVF, but I did have my tube removed and also was much older than you when it happened (38).

The drs told me that having had one ectopic/tube removal only minimally impacts on fertility, so hopefully you’ll conceive easily. The risk of having another ectopic is increased, but it’s still far more likely not to be.

All the best. If you’re ready go for it.
