Thank you for your response. Congrats on having a healthy baby. You give me hope! Sorry to hear about your losses I really want to stay positive so hearing successes is a great way to keep a positive attitude.
Thought I would activate my quest for success stories as I am getting closer to TTC again. My stress level about a reoccurence is fairly high. I feel like when we actually try again I am going to feel like I am jumping off a cliff and waiting to see what happens. TTC is hard enough without the worry that an Ectopic could occur again. Anyway just looking for some hope I know the stats are 20% chance of it happening again which isn't too high but would love more success stories. I know I am lucky because I have both tubes still but nervous none the less.
this month is our first TTC after MTX treatment starting the tww and hoping for a BFP
I have decided not to even think this could happen again as I want the whole TTC and pregnancy to be a happy and exiting experience just the same as it would be if noting had happened rather than a waiting for something to go wrong
As terrible and sad as the whole ectopic experience was I want to move on and get on with living life not looking back and thinking of the past
You have such a great attitude! I really hope you have a successful month. I know you are right really we all do have a greater chance of success. TTC should be a fun and enjoyable time and I will try my best to adopt a similar attitude to you
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I don't have a personal experience to share, but a friend of mine had a D&C after it was discovered that her second pregnancy was ectopic (her first pregnancy resulted in a gorgeous little girl)... I don't know if she lost any tubes, and I don't know how long she was TTC after her loss, but I do know that it wasn't terribly long before she and her partner welcomed a perfectly healthy, gorgeous little boy to their family!! If my memory serves me correctly, I was pregnant with DD when she told me she was pregnant but it was ectopic, and her little boy was born... umm well my DD was still very small so I'm sure it was *definitely* within 12 months of her losing her second pregnancy that she fell pregnant with her son, if that makes sense? It wasn't long at all.
Again, I don't know her personal circumstances, but she did say that it took very little effort to fall pregnant, and that the pregnancy with her son was very easy, and now they have a complete little family that is just wonderful. So I do believe there is hope for you!! I'm very sorry that you had the misfortune to suffer an ectopic pregnancy, but it's good to see you're trying to stay positive and give things another go - try not to stress, as there is light at the end of the tunnel and as you say, the chances of this happening to you again are quite low, so I wish you the best of luck!!

teme I took that attitude after going to a support group after the loss
I was listening to one women who was saying how her loss affected the rest of her life she was pregnant again and was not enjoying her pregnancy due to the prior loss I then decided that I was not going to let that happen to me
although I think if something was to go wrong again it would be a whole different matter
when we first got pregnant with the ectopic it was the first month we had been using OPK and we got a BFP
this month we had also been using the same kits and same method so I decided that I was going for a BFP this time also just hope I am right figures crossed for 15th May
I really want to stay positive so hearing successes is a great way to keep a positive attitude.
