ectopic pregnancy

I'm happy to know you're ok and that you are recovering well. Usually, some docs remove the tube that had the ectopic, and that's ok...however, you should consider that whatever damaged the tube that had the ectopic may have also damaged your remaining tube. You are at risk for having another ectopic in your remaining tube whether you get pregnant on your own or thought IUI. Your risk for another ectopic runs at about 30% (you're more likely to have an intrauterine pregnancy than an ectopic). You can still get pregnant, but at a slower rate than if you had both tubes present.

You should note that once your pregnancy test turns positive, you MUST be under the care of an Ob or RE who can monitor you. IVF, although costly, can significantly reduce the risk of an ectopic pregnancy and is always an option is you wish to reduce the likelihood of this happening again.

I Pray all is well for you and your dh. We experienced the same thing around Thanksgiving time. I Pray that you have a safe and successful pregnancy the next time!!!

Hi Julie,

I have not heard of anyone getting the injections, however, I heard that the injections is the next step after the etopic pregnancy. They said your chances are higher for a succesful pregnancy this way.. I will keep you in my Prayers!!!
