Hi All, as the title suggests does anyone have any advice of when they were ready to start trying again ? My 12 weeks post methroxate are up tomorrow. My period is due this weekend and I’m 12 weeks post surgery. In early May i do have a marathon booked and a trip to Turkey. Would you all advise waiting or starting straight off ? How soon post missed period can you check for uterus in the right location? Thank you all
Dear Tads,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss.
We do advise that you take folic acid supplements for 12 weeks before trying to conceive again.
When we decide to start trying to conceive is completely individual however i would suggest possibly waiting until after you have run a marathon or been on holiday.
We advise you have a 6 week early pregnancy scan with any subsequent pregnancies so you want to be in your usual country with access to usual healthcare just in case there are any complications.
Ultimately the decision is yours, but i would just bare this in mind.
Best wishes,
