Successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy

successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancyI’m looking for stories on successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy resulting in the loss of a tube. Did you use IVF and if so, how many times? I’m considering another IVF attempt and after some genuine encouragement. Any tips on what fertility increasing things you did to help when undergoing IVF? Such as give up exercise, gluten etc).

  • I had an ectopic pregnancy at the end of 2013 and lost a tube. I was so scared that my chances of falling were reduced or that I would have another ectopic and lose my other tube. We were under the guidance of an ob who was an IVF specialist but we fell naturally just a few months after the ectopic and now have a beautiful baby boy who is 4.5 months old. It can happen without IVF!! Anna
  • I lost a tube from an ectopic pregnancy and got pregnant only a few months later (resulted in miscarriage, but I still got pregnant) Then a few months after that I got pregnant again and that baby is 18mths old now.

  • My situation is a bit different but I conceived naturally with only 1 tube and ovary. It does take a little longer because you only ovulate every second month but when the time is right it’ll happen. There may be other factors in your scenario which has lead to ivf, but you can still conceive with 1 tube and ovary Crystal

  • I had my right tube removed due to an ectopic pregnancy. My right ovary was almost always the one producing follicles so my ob didn’t want me to try due to an increased risk of another ectopic. I changed ob and he let me go for it- it was successful AND my left tube picked up the egg from my right ovary. My attempt before this was IVF where none of my eggs fertilised. So IVF isn’t always the answer Naomi

  • I saw a fertility specialist after an ectopic and he explained that the remaining tube will pick up eggs from both ovaries, they’re not as far apart as many diagrams represent! My first was natural, although he did do a d+c and a tube flush to make sure it wasn’t blocked. My second was natural too and after surgery to remove painful endometriosis we’re now pregnant with twins! So it can definitely happen naturally! Jillian
