When Can One Get Pregnant After An Ectopic Pregnancy?
when is it safe to get pregnant again after ectopic pregnancy, which resulted in removal of fallopian tube. My doctor told 4 weeks, my first ovulation after the surgery will be around that time. Are there any risks with getting pregnant so soon after ectopic?

Hi,
thanks for the query. I understand your query.
Ideally you should wait for few months for healing of tissue after tube removal... better to take oral contraceptives to confirm contraception for 3 months & withdrawal of pills also has better rate of ovulation.
You can try with your ovulation schedule after that.conception rate is 45% in after ectopic tubal resection. Please be careful to exclude ectopic pregnancy as the pregnancy is diagnosed ( weak +ve pregnancy test./ normal +ve pregnancy test )
Repeat ectopics possibility is about 15 % . To avoid it... IVF is advisable.
thanks
