[kellser]

I HAD A SUCESSFUL PREGNANCY 8 YEARS AGO I AM NOW 27 AND FIVE MONTHS AGO I HAD A TUBAL PREGNANCY . THE DOCTOR SURGICALY REMOVED THE BABY. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP MY TUBE AND OVARY. NEXT MONTH WE ARE GOING TO TRY AGAIN. HAS ANY ONE EVER EXPERIENCED THIS AND HAD A SUCCESSFUL PREGNANCY AFTER A EPTOPIC.

I haven't had experience first hand. But, from what I have read, statistics show that if you had an ectopic, the chances of having another drop severly.  I know there are several ladies here that went on to have another baby after an ectopic. It is fantastic that you did not lose a tube or worse from it. That in itself is a blessing. There are some here that lost their tube and ovary. I think your chances are really good.

If your tubes and ovaries then there no reason why you cant get preg again. I not long m.c and trying again. So dont be worrying go for it......

Hi! I have a 3 year-old son but 2 years ago, we started trying for baby no.2 and we got pregnant on 1st try, except it was ectopic. I found out at 10 weeks and underwent emergency laparoscopy. They "saved" my tube and we started to try again about 3 months later. We're still trying 1 year later. I had a HSG (dye test) which revealed that the right tube where I had my ectopic was blocked. The left tube looked fine. Following our OBGyn's advise, we went straight to IVF but that didn't work.

Last month, I took Clomid and lo and behold, got a BFP. I was so happy, wishing I had tried Clomid before shelling out 8000$ for IVF!

Well, the pregnancy turned out to be a "chemical pregnancy" aka an early miscarriage. But it means that you CAN get pregnant with just one tube. You might want to ask your OBGyn. for Clomid, too give you a little push. It worked for me. I am now waiting for AF to start another round of Clomid.

Good luck!
