My bloodwork is finally showing negative after 7weeks!!! My hcg only got to 750 before methotrexate.
This has been such a long and emotional journey. I am now very happy and optimistic
That my bfp will be here in no time at all.
How longbefore you bfp after ectopic?
Hi More2Come,
It’s good news that your hcg levels have returned to non-pregnant levels. In regards to trying to conceive, the Trust advises couples to wait at least two full menstrual cycles or three months before trying to conceive again. This is to allow time for your body to heal and emotions to surface and be worked through. However, you can start taking folic acid now. It is recommended to take folic acid for at least 12 weeks prior to conception.
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 per cent of women are healthily pregnant within 18 months of an ectopic pregnancy and some studies show this rises to around 85 per cent after two years.
With kind wishes,
Michele
