I suffered an ectopic pregnancy in September 2012 and lost my right tube.
I was obviously totally devastated and this website and board was a huge help and support to me.
i waited 3 months to try again, all the time terrified that it would happen again or that i wouldn’t fall pregnant again due to having just the one tube…
I did fall pregnant again in January this year, the first month of trying again. I was so scared it would be ectopic and had to have numerous scans very early on but i am happy to say all was well and i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on the 20th October, 14 months after suffering the ectopic pregnancy. i know when it happened, all i wanted was to hear of stories like this and to have hope that it would happen for me so i wanted to post my story to give hope to other people…
Thanks so much for sharing Emma. You will have bought great comfort to so many.
We couldn’t be happier for you and your family’s great news.

HI,
Congrats!! 
Can you please tell us what was the reason for the first Ectopic? In my case doctor did some lab/blood test on tube and find out NO abnormality or infection. Thank you.
Qwerty,
If it helps you to know, there was no known reason found for my ectopic pregnancy and there is not a known reason for the majority of ectopics. When I had the EP I lost my right Fallopian tube but was lucky enough to go on to have two children naturally.
Hope this helps,

Thank you, EPT host 13, for sharing, it really has given me a feeling of hope, at a time when I have been feeling very anxious about future chances of conception. I hope I will be as fortunate as you after having one of my Fallopian tunes removed.
I am so glad I came across this forum and seen these posts on success stories. I’ve been trying for only 2 months since my ectopic pregnancy but every time that pregnancy test says negative I feel like I’m falling into despair. I really hope that I can have a baby and your story gives me hope. The emotional pain is quite agonising for me. I know I need to relax and stop feeling so scared and anxious about the future. My period is currently due and I’m late. I did a test this morning and it was negative. I have literally sat here for 4 hours crying as I’m so scared I can’t have children. When I first fell pregnant we worked it out it was instantaneous. So I hoped that I would fall pregnant quickly again after getting the all clear after the operation. We’ve been trying every other day and the ovulation tests always read negative which again frightens me. I know we’ve only been trying for 2 months but I am beginning to fear this will never happen. I’m still not over the shock of the ectopic pregnancy. I had a terrible experience. I was told I would die if I wasn’t operated on immediately. I had to make the decision there and then in the hospital without really understanding what was happening to me. It sometimes feels like an outer body experience. I just hope one day I can be blessed. Congratulations to you. Your success story brings me so much comfort and hope.
Hi Worthington
Sorry for your loss but try and relax as much as possible and think positive thoughts as statistically good chance all will be well next time. Look at the positives that you conceived quickly so can conceive and you will be monitor from early stage.
I had ep in sept 12 and took 1.5 yr to fall. Took a yr this time and I was one of the few unlucky ones to get second ep. But it was in remains tube I thought had been removed. I ruptured and had complications first time so know the trauma. This time caught early so at least physical pain minimal.
Keep positive

Dear Worthington
I’m sorry to hear you are feeling worried and anxious after your ectopic pregnancy. It is perfectly normal to feel that way after such a traumatic experience and the loss of your baby. I just wanted to say that it can take a little while for your menstrual cycle to settle down after an ectopic pregnancy. Some women also find that their cycle is more irregular in the months after an ectopic pregnancy than it used to be. So please try not to panic about whether you are ovulating at the moment.
The other thing is that statistically the chances of a future healthy pregnancy are very good. 65% of women are healthily pregnant within 18 months of an ectopic pregnancy and there are studies that say that this rises to 85% over 2 years. We also hear from lots of women who have had healthy pregnancies after ectopic pregnancies (I had 2 doses of methotrexate and a tube removed in emergency surgery and I have been fortunate enough to since have a healthy baby). I know the waiting can feel unbearable but try not to feel too anxious about it and try not to assume that you will never ovulate or conceive again - I know that is easier said than done!
Sending you lots of love

All I can say is thank you, I really needed to hear this! god bless your bundle of hope xxxxxxx
This is lovely…I suffered a ectopic pregnancy in December 2013 and also had my right tube removed. Me and my partner are now trying to conceive again…its only been 6 month but im feeling so impatient and want to be pregnant again so desperately… its so nice to hear a success story, we have both found the ectopic devastating and month after month to find out we are not pregnant again is hard. How long has it taken others to fall pregnant after a ectopic? X
