Hello,
Since year 2014 I had an ectopic pregnancy and I had to remove the right hand side. Since then I have not yet be pregnant. Do you think I can be pregnant again as I’m 41 years old. Recently where I did surgery it has pain especially when I lie down to rest I can feel pain my right leg.
Hi,
I would think you can get pregnant again, Iv spoken to my GP about pregnancy and if it is possible as I had my left tube removed earlier this year. They had informed me that it is still possible chances of course are low but IVF is an option.
As for your pain I would definitely go and seek advice as I had pain where my tube was taken and had tests to make sure nothing was wrong.
I hope this has helped you in some way to your question

Dear Preena777,
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. As you have been trying for over a year, I would think it worthwhile speaking to your doctors who can look into any appropriate tests for you and your partner and investigate further.
Sending much love,

Yes you can! I had my left tube removed last October and I luckily got pregnant in Feb and have a 10week old. Don’t give up hope. I also ovulated from my left side.
