Hey, so why did you have to have one of your tubes removed?
ETA: because it posted way to fast for me to finish....
What did your dr tell you afterwards? I am going to find a new dr because I don't feel like my dr did what was right through all this.
And were you trying again after your surgery? I have heard you can get pregnant quickly after surgeries. I hope I can get pregnant quickly, but it makes me so scared. Where you nervous too?

I had an ectopic that ruptured as well. I also felt my doc didn't handle things in the best way and that it could have possibly been avoided. (I am seeing a different OB this time around.)
The dr. told me that I had like a 25-30% chance of having another ectopic, but that it really shouldn't mess with my ability to get pg again that bad. (No stats there or anything though.)
He also told us to wait a couple of months before trying again. Since I got pg in June, and the rupture and surgery was in early August, we waited the rest of August, September and didn't really try in Oct.
To be honest, I was pretty nervous about having to go through all of that again. That's why we didn't try in Oct (although we didn't prevent), and I was relieved when I wasn't pg that month. When I got pg right away in Nov, I was verrrry scared.
My new doc did hcg tests weekly until we could do an early ultrasound at about 6 weeks. That confirmed the pg was not ectopic and they still did two more ultrasounds just to be sure things were going well over the next couple of weeks. They made me feel really safe and hopeful. I hope you can find a better doc this time around.
After my follow up appointment with this dr, I am going to go to a different dr. One of my co-workers has had about 4 miscarriages in the past year and a half and her dr has been TOTALLY supportive and helpful. So I am going to go to him.
I hope that we might be able to get pregnant again by June, ONLY because I would love for my kids to be close in age, and a June pregnancy would make them due in March or April and then the kids would be around 3 years apart. Further than I would really like, but I think another baby would just be a blessing regardless. I am so scared to get pregnant again.
I told DH that worst case scenario, we only have one more chance for an ectopic. And if we were that crazy couple that lost both tubes to an ectopic, then we would know Lucy was meant to be our only
