About 3% of women who choose to become mothers experience an ectopic pregnancy. In such a situation, women are most interested in two questions: why and the likelihood of a recurrence of this in the future. I would like to dwell on them in more detail.
The main reason due to which an ectopic pregnancy develops is the inflammatory diseases of the fallopian tubes experienced by a woman earlier, and the violation of their contractions. This can happen after inflammatory processes due to an abortion or chronic infections (chlamydia, mycoplasmosis and others). In addition, underdevelopment of the fallopian tubes is an indication for a possible ectopic pregnancy.
A subsequent pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy is likely to develop normally, provided that the doctor identifies the cause and the treatment. Modern medicine allows you to conduct a full range of tests that will help determine the cause. This must be done because, unfortunately, there is a risk of recurrence of an ectopic pregnancy.
Many women who have encountered such a problem are beginning to wonder how to get pregnant after an ectopic pregnancy. It is necessary to wait a little time before a new conception, eliminate all adverse factors, and pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy, in most cases, will proceed safely.
Previous ectopic pregnancy does not affect the subsequent development of the fetus in a new pregnancy, it can only be a signal that there were any disorders in the woman's body that should be addressed before planning a new conception.
It is not necessary that pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy can be a problem. Doctors recommend taking a short break and starting planning for an ectopic pregnancy no earlier than twelve months later. During this time, it is worth relaxing, throwing all the negative thoughts out of your head, it is best to go somewhere. However, if the pregnancy has come earlier, do not worry much. The main thing that needs to be done is to contact the consultation at the earliest possible date so that the doctor can diagnose that this time everything is normal.
If surgery was performed during the first pregnancy, as a result of which one of the tubes was removed in a woman, then pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy does not occur immediately. It may take time and effort. One of the important studies that must be done is that during which you will have to find out the pipe passability, because if there are any problems, you may need a light surgical procedure. It is also worth tracking the days of ovulation, there are enough ways to do this to increase the chance of becoming pregnant. Women who have undergone such an operation, it is more difficult to get pregnant, but possible. If for a long time (about a year) pregnancy still does not occur, then you must again contact a gynecologist.
Even in cases where a woman has removed both pipes, she has a chance to become a mother using IVF. True, this procedure is lengthy and quite expensive.
In some cases, a new pregnancy may not occur due to the psychological barrier of the woman. After all, there is a chance to survive this again, although it is small enough. Women begin to be afraid of becoming pregnant, as the result may be a deprivation of the second tube. In such cases, if you can’t cope with fear on your own, it’s best to consult a psychologist who should relieve anxiety and calm a woman.
Psychologists believe that much in a person’s life depends on himself. Therefore, you should tune in, that this time everything will be in order, and calmly enjoy the new pregnancy.
