Hi i had an eptopic pregnancy July 31st (I didn’t even know I was pregnant) got rushed into Surgery I was 12 weeks the baby was half in half out the tube so the tube was able to be saved any way on the 12th September 2021 I found out I was pregnant again the did blood test and my levels tripled… they did a scan but couldnt see anything other than a cyst on my ovary said it was to early… they have booked me in for an other scan on the 23rd (Thursday) … what I’m asking advice for is how likely that this is going to happen again as it Is so quick after I can’t sleep and can’t stop worrying 
Dear Becca,
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. 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 friendfriends here who understand how you are feeling.
To provide an overview - with a healthy pregnancy, hCG levels typically double every 48-72 hours. If levels rise normally, they can suggest (but not give a certain answer) that the pregnancy is implanted in the uterus. HCG levels that rise by less than 66 per cent over 48 hours can mean the pregnancy may be ectopic. So while hCG levels can rise with an ectopic pregnancy this isn’t necessarily at the “normal” rate. Declining levels can indicate that the pregnancy has ended - possibly a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy that is “self resolving”.
The chances of a further ectopic after a first in UK is 10%. So that’s 90% chance of the embryo being in right place this time.
I truthfully cannot guarantee that everything will be ok this time as sadly there is no way to prevent ectopic pregnancy but I will send positive thoughts.
As a gentle reminder regarding conceiving again, we and many medical professionals advise waiting for two menstrual cycles. It is important to allow time for your body to recover and emotions to surface and be worked through. This is so that you have some comfort that your body is returning to its natural rhythm and you have a last menstrual period date from which to date a new pregnancy - key information in checking you are not suffering from an ectopic pregnancy in the future. The first bleed soon after surgery for ectopic pregnancy is not classed as a period as it is the body’s response to falling hormone levels.
Sending much love,
