Hi everyone… I’ve found out I’m pregnant again today… it’s very early days as I’m only 4 weeks but never the less, scared! I had an ectopic in August which was treated with MTX in September… I’ve tried calling my early pregnancy unit today and left a voicemail to arrange an early scan… how do I get over the anxiety for the next few weeks before I can have a scan!! 
xx
Hi Gem-Lea,
Congratulations on your positive test. Please keep us posted. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
So hard not to worry! You could ask them to monitor your HCG levels up until your scan? It’s such a scary time, good luck!
Dear Gem-Lea,
Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy,
After an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured. I also felt twinges and aches after my ectopic pregnancy, particularly when I next felt pregnant. My mind started racing and I was only really able to relax to some degree after my early scan. It is a nerve-wracking time and you have a friend here who understands how you are feeling.
Dr’s usually doctors carry out an internal transvaginal scan at around six weeks with subsequent pregnancies after an ectopic. This is because there is a reasonable chance of seeing an embryo around this time. We advise contacting your local EPU, reminding them of your ectopic pregnancy and booking an appointment. If you are unable to self refer or continue to not be able to get through to them on the telephone, contact your GP who will be able to do this for you.
Whilst I do not wish to alarm you, I sadly have to remind you that if you experience any unusual bleeding, abdominal pain, shoulder tip pain, bladder or bowel problems or feel dizzy and unwell to seek urgent medical advice.
Sending much love and positive thoughts,

Thanks everyone… my scan is booked in on 26th March which seems like a lifetime away! I had symptoms of my ectopic last time very early on (before I even found out i was pregnant!) So I’m praying to get through every day without complications! So far feeling fine! Xx
Thats great news that you’re feeling fine! Try to distract yourself and not think about it too much. Binge watch on netflix lol.
How many weeks will you be at the time of your scan?
4 weeks 3 days
