Ectopic pregnancy and concieving after how hard is it?

I had an ectopic pregnancy at 15 and i was wondering how hard it was for other women on here to concieve. Did you get pregnant straight away, did it take a few months, or did it take a few years, i just want to know what to expect when me and my fiancee try for our baby hopefully in the not so distant future =/ ↓

If you didn't lose a tube or there isn't much scarring you shouldn't have a lot of difficulties. The only problem might be a higher chance of a repeat ectopic. You just need to be monitored closely in the beginning. ↑

sara i had an ectopic in august and didnt find out until sept when we had to terminate using methotrxate. my tube did not rupture so i dont know if that will affect it more or not. i would assume that it would increase your chance of having a repeat ectopic higher than the 5% chance that the doctor gave me for a repeat. since i used methotrexate i dont have the scarring and my tubes werent blocked so he said that i had a 5% chance of a repeat. he also said that my miscarriage rate would go up to 10% but that still left me an 85% chance of a healthy pregnancy. which is still very good. i havent gotten pregnant again but we havent tried but only 1 month since the ectopic and we are planning on trying again in may. good luck to you. ↑

Did any of you get pregnant again after their ectopic? I too had one in Sept and want to try again for another baby. I am having a sonohysterogram in January to check to see if my tubes are blocked or not. ↑

hiya i had an ectopic nearly four years ago and i have a beautiful eighteen month old little girl :) it took me and my partner about six months to concieve and i did lose one of my tubes i was scared at first because of the risk of a repeat ectopic but if your worried about that try to ask for an early scan to reassure you. good luck x ↑
I had an ectopic that actually burst and I did lose one tube. 8 months later I became pregnant with my daughter, now two (on the first try) and now I am pregnant with another daughetr (due any day became pregnant after two months of trying).
As long as everything else in there looks good, you should be in good shape. If you kept your scarred tube, you will need to be checked early on in the beginning to make sure that it isn't another ectopic.
