what are the chances of getting pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

Answer 1

I"ve had two ectopic pregnancy so there are no chances for me ever getting pregnant naturally because one of my tubes had to be cut and the other tied.

But don't worry, my cause is very rare ...it doesn't happen very often. Your chances of having a normal pregnancy are excellent, but your chances of having another ectopic pregnancy have also increased. An ectopic pregnancy -- one that's developing outside the uterus -- is diagnosed in about one in every 100 pregnancies. More than 95% develop in the fallopian tube, but these pregnancies can also occur in an ovary, the cervix, or even the abdomen. Risk factors for them include a previous ectopic pregnancy; tubal surgery such as tubal ligation or sterilization reversal; a past tubal infection; use of an intrauterine device (IUD); use of the "morning-after" pill; use of the progesterone-only or "mini" pill; and fertility treatments including in vitro fertilization and gamete intrafallopian transfer.

Ectopic pregnancy has traditionally been treated with surgery, which may involve removing the fallopian tube or removing the embryo. Nonsurgical treatment can be used in cases where the ectopic pregnancy is early and hasn't ruptured. It involves the injection of a chemotherapeutic medication, methotrexate, which halts the pregnancy's development.

In general, after one ectopic pregnancy your chances of having a future pregnancy that is in the uterus are about 60-70%. But women with a history of ectopic pregnancy often have difficulty getting pregnant again, and as many as 20-30% of them end up being infertile, especially if they have any of the risk factors noted above. Your risk of having another ectopic pregnancy is much higher once you've had the first; as many as one in 10 women will have a second ectopic pregnancy. The increased risk is probably about the same whether your ectopic was treated with surgery or medication, though it's too early to have much data on this.

Because the risk of a second ectopic pregnancy is so high, you should take precautions when you get pregnant again. If you miss a period and might be pregnant, let your doctor know right away. The first step is to find out if you are pregnant and where the pregnancy is located. This may be difficult early in the pregnancy, so be aware of the early signs of an ectopic pregnancy, such as pain and vaginal bleeding or spotting.

With your history, your doctor may assume you're having another ectopic pregnancy until an intrauterine pregnancy can be clearly seen on ultrasound. Your doctor will examine you, do a transvaginal ultrasound, and draw your blood for an hCG level if a pregnancy is not yet visible. When the hCG rises above 2,000 mIU/mL, your doctor should be able to see an intrauterine pregnancy; the same is true around 28 days after you last ovulated (about six weeks after your last period). Sometimes an additional blood sample for hCG level is taken 48 hours after the first and compared with the first level. An hCG level that increases but is less than double the previous one is considered abnormal and suspicious of an ectopic pregnancy.

Otherwise, your doctor will prescribe additional observation and testing. Once the pregnancy is confirmed to be inside the uterus, there's usually no further need for concern about an ectopic pregnancy

I know the pain of trying to have a child and the pain of having had an ectopic pregnancy and from the bottom of my heart I truly wish you the best. And i am sure you'll get pregnant soon because anyone I have spoken to that is trying to get pregnant for some reason gets pregnant without two months.........I swear to you...you'll see.

I am so sorry to hear about your losses.I have also experienced these feelings. I have a 17 and 19 year old[normal pregnancies] well.about 10 years ago i tried to have another baby and i had 3 ectopic pregnancies within a year and a half. this was so traumatic for me. i almost died the 3rd time because my tube ruptured.I lost my left tube . then i got pregnant a couple years later and had a miscarriage. then i got pregnant again last November at age 37 and i have a beautiful baby girl who is almost 5 months old and she is totally healthy.i cant understand it and even have the doctors speechless, but yes you can have a normal pregnancy.I would strongly suggest that you keep up with your periods and go see a Dr asap if you are late or become pregnant because you need to be monitored in case you do have another tubal pregnancy , i almost died the last time i had a tubal pregnancy. there is also invitro as a option.i didn't use any fertility options it just happened. i know its very hard on you emotionally , but don't give up.

Answer 10

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.
