Please help a girl out!!!
What’s everyone’s best advice/ help on trying to to conceive after ectopic pregnancy/ fallopian tube removal.? I Know that we are all different and things can take time etc but is there anything I can do e.g best vitamins to take…
My ectopic was in June 2019 and were currently still trying to conceive. Each month its disheartening when we haven’t conceived so some advice or success stories would be great right now.
Lots of love

Dear Leanne,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Trying to conceive again can be a challenging time for couples especially after experiencing loss. I will do my best to help.
While generally it is possible to conceive after an ectopic pregnancy, the amount of time it takes varies from couple to couple. Factors include age, general health, reproductive health and how often you have sex, among other things.
I wish I could give more precise information, but as I do not have access to your and your partner’s medical records, it is difficult for me to provide specific details. Generally, we and many healthcare professionals advise keeping a healthy balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and abstaining from alcohol and smoking.
Importantly, help is available if conceiving naturally has not yet been successful after some time trying - and the EPT advises that women under 35 should seek medical advice following 12 months trying to conceive and those over 35 should seek advice after 6 months.
In addition. having regular sex means having sex every 2/3 days throughout the month. Guidance from the UK’s National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence advises that having sex around the time when the woman ovulates causes stress and is not recommended. We here at the EPT suggest having intercourse 2/3 times between days 10-20 of their cycle when trying to conceive. We also have information on our website on trying to conceive here: https://ectopic.org.uk/patients/trying-to-conceive/

Hi,
I’ve just had an ectopic and am currently trying to give my body the best chance of recovery/possible future pregnancy.
I’m not an expert and am still a bit unsure of anything after an ectopic. However, I had a miscarriage before I had my son and I drank a lot of raspberry leaf tea. I felt it really helped get my cycle back to normal and made me a lot healthier (down there) then my son was born. I’ve bought some now and am going to start drinking it.
Hope this helps
