struggling to fall pregnant after ectopic is there any hope?

A few years ago I was diagnosed with clahymidia while in a relationship it was treated but I’m worried because i would have had it for around 9 months (i had no idea about it) and my tubes are scarred because of it a few months after that I had an ectopic pregnancy… I had to have one of my tubes removed /. it’s been 3 years since all this happened and me and my partner have been trying to conceive for about a year now and I’m just starting to feel like I will never have kids … so can any women please share some hope with me if they have been thru similar decisions… It’s really starting to get me depressed especially watching all my friends and family around me fall pregnant …

Hi Jesse933,

I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through this worrying time. Although you’ve been diagnosed with chlamydia, it’s so important to remember that you did not cause any ectopic pregnancy. There is really nothing we can do to prevent the occurrence of ectopic pregnancies nor to stop them.

As you are continuing to TTC, I would recommend to speak to your GP about fertility treatments. I do not know your age, but you may qualify for assistance. It may be worthwhile to inquire.

With warm wishes,

Michele

I’m so sorry this is happening, I know exactly how you feel I had an ectopic pregnancy in 2012 and my right tube removed and was told that there was a high chance I could have another ectopic pregnancy I got so obsessed with having a baby like you my friends were all falling pregnant and of course I was overjoyed for them but also jealous that it wasn’t happening for my husband and I. So I stood back and said what will be will be I also got a cat which helped me, personally. Then when I stopped thinking about it along came my daughter and then three years later my son, with one fallopian tube, It does happen I didn’t ever think it would for me so I just want to say hang in there don’t give up, if you want to go and see the GP and look at IVf etc do but never give up hope xxxx

I’m sorry to hear what you’ve been through and are going through. The feeling of negative tests month after month can feel as bad as losses themselves and seeing others birth announcements is extremely painful.

To cut a long story short, after 3 miscarriages, a rupture ectopic and two failed rounds of IVF I’m now 27 weeks pregnant naturally, after nearly giving up hope. It’s taken me nearly 2.5 years to get to this point, so what I’m saying is don’t despair. As the host said, don’t leave things up to chance, speak to someone about fertility assistance available to you. It helped me to know I was doing what I could to get pregnant. Hopefully you’ll have your own sucess story in the near future. Good luck! x

Thank you guys sorry it’s taken me so long to reply. I really appreciate your messages. A quick update I’ve just found out I’m pregnant! Only early stages so I’m still a bit stressed and worried that it could be another etopic … but I am staying as positive as I can x
