Just looking for some hope. I feel heart broken and completely lost. Our first pregnancy ended up to be ectopic back in November the 2nd 2019. I had my left tube removed at 6 weeks 4 days. We were devastated as we were trying for over a year. Fast forward to March, 4 months after surgery my pregnancy test came back positive we were over the moon that we managed to concive so quick. At 7 weeks 4 days I was given mtx another ectopic pregnancy 
I am looking for someone who went through the same and managed to concive naturally. Its my only tube and I am quite concerned that I won’t be able to get pregnant after having ectopic pregnancy on my right tube aswell 
there’s nothing I want more than to have a baby
Hi LittleP27,
I’m so sorry that you’ve suffered an ectopic pregnancy and loss. It can leave us with many questions and I’ll do my best to help.
In the UK, the repeat occurrence of an EP is about 10 percent chance, but looking at it another way, there is a 90 percent chance of embryo being in the right place. On your fertility, the egg from the tubeless side can be picked up by the other Fallopian tube, and that means that fertility is not halved with having a Fallopian tube removed. Conservative estimates suggest that an egg produced on the tubeless side manages to descend the remaining tube around 15 to 20% of the time. This means that rather than your fertility being halved it has been affected by around 30% or, looking at it another way, it means we have around a 70% opportunity of conception with each menstrual (period) cycle.
It’s very normal to have worries about trying to conceive. Many feel that way; I did and still struggle with it. I also had two ectopic pregnancies and did go on to conceive naturally - 18 months and 7 years later. With future pregnancies, it is possible to have early scans to ensure you have the right help in the beginning. It may provide some comfort to know that it is usually possible to conceive successfully after having an ectopic pregnancy, though the time it generally takes varies considerably from couple to couple. Approximately 65 percent of women are healthily pregnant within 18 months of ectopic pregnancy and some studies show this rises to around 85 percent after two years.
We understand how nerve-wracking this all can be. These Boards are a safe space, and we here for as long as you need.
With good wishes,

Thank you for shearing your story it really gave me some hope that one day I might hold my baby. I am just scared of going through it again, scared of loosing the baby it gives so much heartache and other feelings I recovered just about after my first lost and going through it again just doubled the pain
This happened to me, lost my right tube and actauly had surgery on my left to remove baby … and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant and it’s made it way to the womb this time … how it navigated my scarred tube I have no idea… the human body always finds a way is what I remember my mum telling me x I had planned ivf also x
