pregnant after recent ectopic

In January 2015 I had an ectopic pregnancy I did not need surgery, I was given a dose of methotrexate on Jan 30th it was successful. On Monday May 4th 2015 I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I read online that my chances of having another ectopic are increased since I've already had one and I have about a 65% chance of a healthy pregnancy. Has anyone else gone through the same situation?

It's like every time I get a pain or cramp I think to myself yep its another ectopic and it makes me cry because I want a child so badly and it's sad that for something that's supposed to be a happy time it's just a hurtful worry until the day it's for real and I know I'm going to hold a baby in my arms

I just had one in Nov and we're trying again and the doc gave me the OK and he said that once I found I was pregnant he wants me to call him so that they can start taking blood and making sure everything is going good and I also know of the 15% chance of it happing again because I had one. I too caught it early and only needed the shot. I do have the fear still in the back of my mind that it will happen again with us trying so u are not alone

Sorry to hear about your ectopic hun I had one last year its an awful experiance. Tge last time I saw the nurse she said the chances are the same as if you never had one although I would suggest you see your doc as soon as possible just because they can scan you very ealry to put your mind at ease. Good luck xx
