I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies. I want to concieve again. How can I prevent another one?
There is no straight answer to your question, “How can I prevent another ectopic pregnancy from happening?” It depends on several things, and your history, specifically -Did you have an ectopic in the same tube both times? Did you have a surgery to remove ectopic pregnancy or did you just get the injection - Methotrexate? Are your fallopian tubes both patent? Did you have any chemical pregnancies diagnosed as possible ectopic pregnancy? My advice to you is to find an OB/Gyn and schedule an appointment for “Preconception Counseling” and have a detailed discussion based on your medical history and prior ectopic pregnancies. Ask a lot of questions, do your research, get previous medical records, and have them available at the time of your appointment. Good luck! READ MORE
