How long did it take you to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy?

I must tell you that there is hope. My husband has wanted me to post our story. September 2011 we found out we were pregnant. When I went in for my first appt, I found out it was not a normal pregnancy. Nothing was in my uterus and I was devastated. My husband has never had children and I already have three. I was so upset and it was even harder telling him. The doctor and the ultrasound specialist saw nothing in my tubes either. They decided to run tests because they figured my HCG levels would be low. That afternoon, my doctor called telling me I am still pregnant. That she wanted me to come back in the following week that maybe I was not as far along as she thought. I go in a week later and see the ultrasound specialist. Still, nothing in uterus. THey check my ovaries and can't find anything. They decide to give me a methotrexate shot because you can not always see a tubal pregnancy. I receive the methotrexate shot that day. Over a period of the following two weeks I experience light cramping. I go in for a regular pap and I let my doctor know of the spotting and light cramps and she checks my blood. The following day I get a call from the nurse and my HCG levels are close to normal again. I am ready to get a regular period so I can start trying again. One week later I am about to get a hair cut and feel a sudden urge to have a bm. I tell my husband to wait and I try going to the bathroom and nothing however, all of a sudden I am hit with nausea and feel extremely light headed. I couldn't go so I get up and walk into the living room and tell him I do not feel right. Something is wrong. BUt I say, screw it, lets go get my hair cut. We get in the car and pull out of our apartment complex and once we get on the highway I feel like someone stuck a knife in my left side and is just digging it around. (was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my entire life) I thought I was going to die. I scream out and tell him to take me to the emergency room. We get there, they take me to the back and run a sonogram. Doctor comes in and tells me I'm still pregnant. (12 weeks) and that the baby is in my right tube, and it has ruptured. I am bleeding internally and tehy are sending me by ambulance to another hospital. All the while, I cannot breathe. NOt only are you having this horrible pain in your side but you feel like someone is choking the life out of you. Once at the other hospital they take me directly to surgery where they removed my left tube. I lost 50% of my blood and in fact almost did die. I was torn up over the loss. I was miserable. For two weeks I was in extreme pain. Physically and emotionally. My doctor told me to have at least two regular cycles before trying to get pregnant again. DId I listen? Hell no. I wanted a baby. I wanted to get over this horrible feeling of loss and sadness. I visited babyhopes.com constantly and would get my most fertile days. Well, low and behold, 3 months after my surgery and getting my left tube removed, we found out we are pregnant. I am now 11 weeks and heard the heartbeat for the first time yesterday. It will happen. YOu got pregnant once, you will get pregnant again. I know how you feel. It's like after it happens you are determined to get pregnant again and every month you are not, your heart is heavy with pain and fear of not ever being able to get pregnant again. I am here to say that you do have a chance.

I had an EP in 2010 and had my right tube removed. One again in 2011, but could keep my left tube. Its been a year and I haven't fell pregnant since. My heart is broken. :(

I've went through & read numerous stories, I thought I was the only one who felt this way. I had an ectopic 9/16/11, it was my first pregnancy.. I had no idea what was going on & was in horrible pain, kept putting off going in thinking it was normal.. When I finally decided to go in, they took me to ultrasound & sure enough ectopic, I was 6 weeks, I got rushed to emergency surgery I was internally bleeding, thankfully they saved my tubes! We got the go ahead six weeks later to be able to try again, we have been trying for the last seven months & nothing.. Everyone around me is getting pregnant with their second or third children & here's me not able too.. Dr says I am fine & should be able too. My husband had two boys from a previous relationship so I know it's not him. I pray every month & get excited at the slightest signs but get let down time & time again. I'm a healthy 21 year old & feel there is no reason I shouldn't be able to concieve! Most women my age are trying their hardest to prevent pregnancy & here's me not able to concieve! Reading what you ladies have written has helped me feel like I'm not alone, I feel crazy at times, I'm afraid of it happening again, of me never getting pregnant, envy for those who can (I know is horrible but I always wonder why not me). I'm trying to stay positive, everyone around me always says the same thing, "it will happen when it's supposed to happen.." one of the most frustrating things to hear, who's to judge who's ready & who's not?! The success stories are giving me hope & the other stories, I understand.. I hope the best for everyone trying! It's in Gods hands now..

Ive  had an ectopic prenancy on  august 2010  but they were able to catch it at 7 weeks and didnt have to remove my tube. I have both of my tubes and still havent gotten pregnant i get my menstrual periods every month, i still have hope but i dnt know whats goin on%-)

i had a ectopic this last April at 5-6 weeks. i got the shot and i did not have to get my tubes removed.  my levels are now down to 0 and i believe everything is fine i still have to go to my check up appointment in may. so i got lucky there. i have not got my period yet and i have been feeling the same way as before when i first found out i was pregnant, having some symptoms. how long after should i expect to get my period,  could i be pregnant again this soon? or when will i be able to try again?

What about if you had an Ectopic pregnancy due to Chlamydia.. Has anyone else had that? I was found to have Chlamydia after having an Ectopic pregnancy in Jan 2011.
I havent really tried to get pregnant after that, even though I lost my right tube, docs say that there should be no problem because my left tube is healthy. I mean some women with 2 tubes may have 3 kids and they may all be from her left ovary and left tube, so I dont see why it would be so hard to be pregnant, plus I heard one and a half year after your Ectopic pregnancy the eggs from your ovary which lost a tube still somehow find a way to the Uteras...

hi am so sorry about that.. same appened to me i had a eptopic pregnancy 2weeks ago and had my left tube removed it bursted i was so lucky to be alive :( but also i suffer wiv pocs and i have no children at all ino wat ur goin through its really heart breaking hate talking about it to anybody and still now am suffering so scared of trying again and my hubz is so despret to be a father just hope one day i can give him that :,( heartbroken isent the word....hope evrythin works out for u and ur hubbz in the future

Idk how much more ill be able to take im just 21 years old and I really want a baby me and my husband keep trying hopefully this pregnacy goes well!!!  

ur on a post where some of us are dying to have babies and ur telling us you had 5 abortions!

Have Faith Ladies!!!! All hope is not lost after ectopic. I had ectopic preg a year ago and now pregnant with triplets....yah! How did i do it??? Those of you who are Christians pray, believe you are preg and receive your babies by faith! Start rejoicing and thank God for blessing you with babies.

For the non-Christians, grab a Bible and read Hebrews 11:1, Matt 7:7-8, John 15:16. Believe in God, have faith in Him, pray, believe, receive your blessings. God never disappoints, His word is true to those who believe and depend on it. God Bless!!!

Try the above and you won't be disappointed. I look forward to hearing all the news about your experiences.:O

May 20 I found out I was pregnant me an my fiancee was so happy.. Let me add I have two children a 7 and a 6 year old. I been on birth control for 5 years.. A year and half ago had the birth control pill lowered because of blood pressure. Before the pill I had an abortion. In April my period was a week late before it came and in may it was 9 days late and I started having some pregnancy syptoms like more tired my boobs started getting sore I just thought my period was being out of wack so I decided to take a pregnancy test may 20 which came out positive I was in shock because I was taking birth control pills, different kinds of allergie pills and sleeping pills on that poisons in my body but I was really happy since we were planning on going off birth control pills as soon as that pack was over so I stopped all the pills. That night I starte cramping I didn't think much of it since I remember them telling me with the other two it was normal well I woke up around 1am to go bathroom and there was spotting I startd to freak out I took another pregnancy test it was positive so I got thru the night with little sleep went to the doctors I still had the cramping and spotting and felt pain like if I was contipated which I was since u haven't went number two in like 3 -4 days ... So they did a urine test and pregnancy test which proved I was pregnant but to much blood in the urine so they sent me to the er.. The er did a pelvic exam, blood work and an ultrasound all the prove something was wrong at that stage I was 5 weeks and 3 days and they weren't sure if I was a miscarriage about to happen or ectopic so they wanted to terminate it so I agreed tears and all so they did an abortion like thing .. I was crying so much.. I was so sad because I wanted this baby. They told me to do blood work again on that Tuesday so I went in and did it.. Went to see my doctor on Wednesday and then comes Thursday a phone call from the doctor telling me to go back to the er that my blood levels aren't dropping.. The doctor on Wednesday put me on bed rest and a doctors note until the following week so I went back to the hospital on Thursday and they wanted to do all the testing again and that showed it was ectopic but by then I didn't have no more pain no more bleeding or nothing... Just very sad on everything that was happening. It showed the ectopic was behind my uterus so they recommended giving me the shot of methocetate (not sure on the spelling, but sure u know what I mean) which took two hours to get ready... So was giving that shot may 24 my levels started dropping after that .. May 30 I called them since they stopped calling me an asked about my blood work and it was at 4 so they told me it was all over and I no longer needs to do blood work I was kinda happy it was finally happy but still so sad that I went thru I blamed myself for this and cried so much when June 21 came I cried my eyes out since it was just a month ago the nightmare began. I still haven't had a period. The doctor says who knows when I'll get it back since I been on birth control for 5 years and now had this happen. I hope it comes because I want to try again. Since all this I havent started the birth control pill back up. I don't take sleeping pills, I was on 3 different times of allergie pills now the only thing I take it 1 allergie pill which is bendaryl. They told me none of those pills was a factor of this happen but I feel like the birth control pill had something to do with it. So I'm mad at it. Kinda stupid but who wouldn't blame it on that. I told the doctor is was karma from having an abortion. I took it so hard the doctor told me not to beat myself up over this. This for sure as been the hardest thing to go thru and all I can do is pray it won't happen again :(
