Pregnant After Ectopic

[Soph1809]

Hi
I have just found out I’m pregnant after an ectopic in Sept/Oct with surgery to remove tube Beggining Oct. Period returned 28 days later and I was cleared to try again. I must admit (and yes I know unprotected sex can result in a baby) but I did not expect this to happen so quickly. I knew I would be anxious and nervous as and when I fell again, but even more so now. I am going to contact EPU to get the early scan booked in. I’m jst so scared it’s another ectopic I’m thinking that is probably quite normal to think at this stage….
Any positive vibes would be appreciated at this time. Thanks ladies.

Hi Soph189. Congrats on your pregnancy. I was more or less the same as you after my ectopic. My baby is now 11 😊

Contact the EPU and they should give you an early scan. Try not to worry and hope it all works out well.

@Northsidemammy thank you. I’m just horribly overthinking and don’t feel excited right now and appreciate to some that may sound ungrateful it’s jst so hard thinking what if I have to have surgery again etc. but these stories give me hope thank you!

Yes im the same I had my surgery in april and fell pregnant in June! I'm now 24 weeks and all has been well....apart from my health anxiety so make sure to look after yourself ... ❤️

Congrats. Fingers crossed you will be ok. My friend had an ectopic pregnancy in September 2023. She fell pregnant very shortly after and she now has a healthy two month old who was born in September 2024

@Lulu89x thanks for the positive story hopefully I will be the same!

I was in such an anxious state last night that I called EPU today as felt I had some shoulder pain. I would be around 4 weeks 5/6days if my cycle is 28 days I went in for a scan and they did say we might not see anything this early which wouldn’t be unusual sometimes we can sometimes we can’t. So nothing was seen other than the endometrium lining is thickening. They’ve asked me to have HCG bloods as that’s policy. I was told sometimes after ectopic ovulation may be bit all over place and I can’t be sure exactly when I ovulated so I may be a few days or so earlier than I think. They also said hcg below 1500 they wouldn’t see a sac yet. Done bloods today and I’ll see what they come back and ones Sunday to hope they’ve gone up by the 63% they would like to see. Once they know what bloods doing they will make a plan to re scan. Is it possible that it is just too early? Obviously I am terrified of another ectopic and with Xmas approaching I’m even more so nervous given what I went through last time. I’m trying my best to hold it together, having lots my dad to cancer this year and the ectopic I’m feeling pretty beaten right now. Thanks in advance ladies
