Ectopic pregnancy - Miscarriage & Still Birth Message Board

Hi last summer I found out that I was pregnant and very early on started experiecing some pain and discomfort. the doctors told me that I was having a miscarriage thats why I was bleeding. So I went to the hospital soon after that and was edmitted right away after my ultrasound because my 6 week old baby was growing in my tube the pain was excrutiating. I had surgery and had one of my falloian tubes removed which is pretty devastating for a 22 year old with no children at all yet. My question is has anyone else had this happen and was succesfull in another pregnancy with the other remaining tube or is it the end for me as far as pregnancy goes?

I am just so depressed because I don't think I could ever have children again. even though there is a slite chance I just need to no if there is anyone who has had any hope in this department at all just so that I can have a little peace of mind.

Lots of women have successful pregnancies after a ectopic. My mom had one in the 70's after having an IUD in for a few months. She didn't even know she was pregnant, her tube burst and she was bleeding internally and almost died. I have 2 brothers younger than me...one born about 4 years after the tubal and another one 3 years later. I also have a friend who had one very near the top of her tube close to her ovaries that apparently was to have affected both the tube and the ovary and she has an 22 month old daughter and is due any day with her second.
So rest assured that it is possible to concieve again, keep your hopes up and stress levels down.
How long have you been trying to concieve?

I hae been trying to concieve for about a year now with now luck thats were my worries came in and I was really stressing about that, but with the advice that you have just givin me I feel more hopeful than I did yesterday. I want to thank you very much for that.

I hope it all works out for you. What has your Dr. said about it?
My mom said they told her that with the scar tissue she might have troubles...obviously not. Actually though she did tell me a few weeks ago, after my miscarriage that she was pretty sure she had one like I did (very late period or so she thought but just a gush when it came) too so this could also happen.
Maybe you should request an ultrasound to see your tubes/ovaries etc. just to see how things look.
Good luck, baby dust to you!!!

i also had an ectopic this past Feb and i am 22 w/no kids and i got pg in may (i miscarried today but it had nothing to do with the ectopic) so its very possible to have a baby, my aunt also lost a tube and was told she couldnt have kids but she now has two beautiful sons
