I just wanted to pass along this article about your fertility after an ectopic pregnancy:

What are your concerns about TTC again?


My biggest concern was just getting pregnant again. It took me so long to get pg, only to have my first pregnancy end with ectopic. It took another 1.5 years to get pg again. I actually had decided to give up if I wasn't pg by the end of 1996...thankfully I conceived in November! I worried about scar tissue contributing to another ep, since I knew I ovulated from my right side, where my first ep was, but fortunately everything went smoothly, with all of my subsequent pregnancies. Still, it's nerve-wracking those first few weeks where baby is too small to be seen on u/s so there's no way of knowing, aside from hcg levels (which may not show ep) if everything's ok in there or not.
