How long did it take you to get pregnant after ectopic?

[HoggleHoggle]

Just wondered if people would mind sharing with me. I had an ectopic pregnancy in January and lost left tube. TTC again, on cycle 2 and AF is on its way. I know it's early days still but I can't help panicking that it's just not going to happen for me.

If you also had an ectopic, would you mind sharing how long it was until you were pregnant again?

Thank you

@BabyPending So sorry to hear you are in the same situation. It can be a very lonely time but its comforting to know your not the only one if that makes sense. Unfortunately I still haven't had any success, we have been trying since October last year. Strange enough today is a year to the day I had my left tube removed. I have been struggling with stomach pain and light periods which haven't been regular either since my opperation. Before they were quite average, same time every month, barely any stomach cramps. I have been back to the drs a few times. Tried to be as healthy as possible, me an my partner haven't drank alcohol since last may. My partner quit smoking last year too. Now we are both dieting. We have tried to follow my ovulation but I dont think I'm ovulating properly since my opperation as no sign of success yet. My dr is sending me to see a specialist in Nottingham 4th September as my family also has a history for miscarriages and ectopic as well as various other gynacology issues so hopefully will have some sort of update. Please dont let this worry you as it seems most people conceive quite soon after an ectopic pregnancy. I've read alot online which confirms this too. I've unfortunately been a little more unlucky. Fingers crossed for a quick recovery for you. It can be more emotionally draining than physical.so please be kind on yourself. Dont push yourself to hard and let those around you help. Happy to keep in contact if you need to chat about anything, I will try my best to help xxx

@Tess90 thank you again for sharing your story, I am so sorry you are having troubles with your cycles now. It just prolongs the pain :( I really hope you get some answers, maybe they will prescribe your clomid to help with the ovulation. I wish you the best of luck and baby dust for your rainbow baby, I really do xx

I had an ectopic inJune last year and lost my left tube. I’m now 16 weeks pregnant and I think it took about 7 cycles of trying. Plenty of women get pregnant with one tube as it only has a small effect on your fertility as your remaining tube can pick up an egg from the other side :). Good luck to you

@Adelais thank you for sharing your story and big congrats on your rainbow. I hope you have a smooth pregnancy and I follow in your success story xx

I also have my right tube removed last Tuesday after it was ruptured and been leaking slowly into my uterus for over a week. Im not to sure when to start trying again or if I even want to risk it. So Glad to read everyone success story's ❤️

@Sarahh16 I was told to leave it 3 months / 2 periods after the surgery bleed. I'm absolutely terrified! We had 2 MC prior to this too so pretty helpless :( I'm looking into having a HyCoSy internal scan privately as the NHS aren't interested until I have 3 MCs xx

Hello,

I was wondering how everyone in this group is getting on? I would love some positive stories post ectopic. My husband and I have been TTC (trying to conceive) baby number 2 since September 2018, we have a lovely 9Y DS. We fell pregnant in March 2019 and later miscarried in May at 11 weeks. We fell pregnant again in September 2019 and found it was ectopic. I had the baby and my left tube removed in October 2019. I still get pain on my left side from the operation and mostly just feel so hopeless. I have PCOS too and just feel the odds are against me.
Can anyone help? A positive story would be amazing!!
Thanks ⭐️

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this so please bare with me I had an ectopic pregnancy in June 2019 and me and my partner have been TTC ever since. Yesterday I had a positive pregnancy test!! I am finding it very very difficult to be able to relax as I feel convinced I will have another ectopic 😢 I can’t have a scan for another 2 weeks so the wait is going to be hard xx

Congratulations @Judeliam10 try to enjoy it 💛 I’m still trying for my BFP

Did you have a tube removed?

Hey!

Thank you I'm trying to stay positive but can't feel myself relaxing at all.
No I still have both tubes, I was treated with methotrexate but I still get dull aches on my right side since.

Xx

I just wanted to come back and share some positive news that I never thought would happen. But it's been tough getting to where we are so I couldnt share any sooner. Sorry it's a long read!
Our drs refered us for IVF last year after many appointments back an forth he decided I would most likely not conceive naturally with my remaining tube as they thought i had tubal infertility. A week before my first IVF appointment i found out I was pregnant. I had early pregnancy scans from 6 weeks pregnancy until 12 weeks pregnancy with a specialist in Nottingham. Everything was perfect.
We found out in December we was having a little girl. In January this year, at 19 weeks I woke up with slight bleeding on the bed. I didnt realise until I stood up and started getting dressed and then noticed blood on the bed. Then I could feel something running down my leg. I quickly rushed to the toilet but there was a huge gush of blood. I couldnt help but cry, all i could think that I was losing my baby after we had come so far. I was rushed to hospital and admitted for heavy bleeding. I was examined but not scanned as it was a sunday and the scan facility was closed. The dr could see my placenta was low from the examination and said he was unsure where the bleeding was coming from but the baby still had a healthy heart beat on the monitor. They prepared me for a blood transfusion incase I had another heavy bleed. The bleeding had slowed but was still soaking through my clothes and pads. They forewarned me that it was highly likely I would loose the baby as it wasnt looking hopeful with so much bleeding. The next day I was scanned by a sonographer, baby was healthy. Heart beat was strong and not distressed. Bleeding was showing from the placenta, which had now caused a large haematoma. I had no idea what this was but new it wasnt good news. They didnt discuss anything with me, only that the baby was ok for now. I had to go back to the dr on the ward to find out. I was placed on a womans ward, not a pregnancy ward as the pregnancy wasnt far enough along. The dr explained they thought the bleeding was coming from the placenta but couldnt be sure as there was to much bleeding to see exactly where it was coming from. The haematoma was a large blood clot formed from the bleeding but now created more risk. Now I was at risk of losing my baby and bleeding out, possibly losing my life if the haematoma dislodged and the bleeding got heavier. They advised me to go home and take it easy as there was nothing they could do.
I was admitted again at 21 weeks for heavy bleeding and large blood clots. This time the bleeding wasnt as heavy but the blood clots meant the haematoma was coming away. I was allowed on a pregnancy ward this time. A specialist came to see me to give me more bad news, he was adamant I would loose the baby and not carry any further and I should prepare myself. A lovely midwife came to explain it further and what to prepare myself for if I was to miscarry and what the baby would be like. She said it was too early pregnancy still for them to do anything as the baby would be too premature. I was heart broken and couldnt stop crying. Now all I could think about was my baby girl coming too early and not surviving. My bleeding slowed so they allowed me to go home to prepare myself. The dr wanted me to stay but advised this would be my last chance to go home until baby arrived. Because if I had heavy bleeding again then i would me admitted permanently until baby arrives. I was told to go home and take it easy, not to return to work. They also told me i would have to be moved to a specialist hospital when I came back as they couldnt care for a premature baby before 30 weeks. But if the baby came before 27 weeks then no one would help her unless she was born breathing. If she was born not breathing, they were not allowed to resuscitate. Again I was completely heartbroken. I couldnt imagine a positive outcome.
Each week was a milestone for us but still a massive worry. I darent do anything or move to much or walk to far. Every day I woke up dreading I would wake in a pool of blood. Every scan I cried as I was growing so attached to my little girl and could only think I would loose her. We got to February and had another scan to check the haematoma and the position of the placenta. I was still bleeding but not heavy. A few blood clots had been lost but nothing drastic. Finally we had good news! The haematoma had gone and my placenta had moved high up. However, now the bleeding had slowed and the haematoma had gone, they could see the bleeding was due to my placenta coming away. Which again wasnt good news. But they warned me if I carried on taking it easy then hopefully it would be ok. So again all I could do was worry!
Fast forward a few weeks, my bleeding stopped. Which again was a positive. But at 28 weeks I was tested for gestational diabetes and it came back positive. So a new worry to deal with but not as frightening as the last few months. I had more scans due to previous problems and now because of gd. All my scans were now positive news, my baby girl was growing well and healthy. I managed to stay diet controlled with no need for medication so the hospital was happy to leave me to go full term. For some reason I still couldnt shake the feeling I wouldnt get to have my baby girl safe and sound. I was still worried I would loose her even though we got so far. Fast forward a few months, my baby girl decided to arrive earlier than planned. My waters broke at 3am 25th may. Due to covid I was sent home until I was in established labour. I came back at 5PM as my contractions were intense. I had to go in by myself which was so scary after all the problems we had been having. My partner was finally allowed in at 10pm. I had to have the hormone drip as my labour wasnt progressing quick enough and they didnt want to risk going over 24 hours with my waters broken. This made everything so much more intense and the pain was unreal. I knew it would be painful but really wasnt expecting it to be that bad. I had gas an air and an epidural. My baby girl was born 9.53am 26th May. At 38 weeks and 5 days. A healthy 7lbs 2.5oz. She screamed the place down and breast fed straight away. I had to stay for 24hours after due to risk of infection for going over 24hrs since my waters broke and to test babies blood sugars due to gd. She passed her bloods and all the regular baby checks. We left and went home on the 27th may and shes doing amazing! We finally have our rainbow baby, her name is Pixie-Lily.

Sorry for the long read, I just wanted to share this as although we have been through so much heart ache and pain. And although I thought this would never happen. It finally has! It's really hard to think positive during a miscarriage and after, then trying again. But it will happen!

I'm desperately looking for some success stories from anyone that was able to conceive after having one tube removed due to ectopic pregnancy. I found out I was pregnant March 3rd 2022 after trying for 2yrs. I was ecstatic. We told everyone, family and friends. To my shock and horror I had to be rushed in for emergency surgery just a week later and had my left tube removed. It's been 2 weeks and we're ready to try again. We really want our rainbow 🌈 baby and I just need to hear some positive stories to help me keep the faith. Please help! 🙏❤️😭

Thought I'd provide my story in case it helps anyone, as I poured over these forums when I was in need.
I had an ectopic pregnancy - found out I was pregnant in late March 2022, then learned in April 2022 it was likley ectopic. As my HCG was always fairly low and then started dropping i was able to avoid surgery and medical management (methotrexate) and instead just went with expectant management (wait and see) with regular HCG bloods until it dropped below 5.

I got the confirmation in May it was zero (I also got covid in that time yay), and used Ovulation detectors and my BBT to determine when I was ovulating - which was 16 may. We caught that egg and so I am now pregnant, the cycle after my ectopic/miscarriage.
All signs looking good and this one is in the right place so fx.

Hi all, just adding an update to my story for those who are looking for hope. I know I needed positive cases when I went through it!
After a year of ttc I had my ectopic in November 2017. My left tube ruptured and it was a pretty horrific experience. We started trying again immediately (no advice not to as long as I felt OK) and I conceived again the next month. She's now nearly 4yo 😍 then we started ttc again in October 2019. I had a mc in the Feb, and started taking a few supplements as my cycles were a bit short, as well as the smep. Conceived again in May 2020 and she's now nearly 18mo. It's totally possible to still have the family you dream of, even with a 50% success rate and 50% of the right equipment! I now want a third but have to convince the husband on that one. Wishing you all baby dust and sticky beans in the right places x

Hi Ladies,

I also wanted to drop in with an update for those looking for a positive outcome (I spent countless hours searching for positive stories following my ectopic so I hope this helps someone out there).

I had my ectopic and tube removal in August 2019 and we decided to give my body a break until the new year 2020 (as I had 2 MC prior to my ectopic). I fell pregnant in January 2020 and our beautiful rainbow boy was born in September 2020. Please try not to be disheartened after an ectopic, it definitely is not the end! I am so grateful to be a success story and I hope those reading this become success stories too. My heart goes out to anyone suffering a loss of any kind, stay strong ladies xx

I am 15 days out of my ectopic pregnancy surgery, I been randomly hit with sadness and is it bad that I already wanted to try to get pregnant again. I know it’s not the best time and I am willing to wait 3 month before trying again, I’m just so sad because everyone I know seem to be getting pregnant around me after this loss really broke me. I was 10 weeks and 3 days when we had my first ultrasound we saw my baby and even saw his little heartbeat. But around 12 weeks I been experiencing really bad lower stomach pain ever 5-10 minutes apart it was my first pregnancy after 10 years of trying so I thought it was just normal pregnancy symptoms until I was 14 weeks i saw blood so we decided to go in the ER to check and they couldn’t find him anywhere. Doctor came in and told us the bad news I was in shock and in denial I couldn’t accept the fact. We even did the blood test at my first ultrasound to know the gender early too, I can say I was just so demoralized and couldn’t believe that this is happening to me I blamed myself for awhile. We will be trying again in 3 month and I just hope and pray that I will have a successful pregnancy the next time. I also had my right tube and ovary removed will I ever have a chance to have a successful pregnancy again? That’s really the question.

any suggestions and advices?

Thank you.

I had my ectopic last year July! Didn't had to remove any tube. Now I am 33 weeks pregnant.

Wow this is such a miracle story. I’m so happy that you survived this and so did your baby girl. God was watching over you guys, I’m sorry you had to go through all that but at the end was such a happy ending. Thanks for sharing your story.
