Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) could be one of the cause for ectopic pregnancy. Kindly get evaluated by examination from Gynecologist and appropriate investigation and in case it is indicative of PID, you need to take necessary treatment.
You cannot always prevent an ectopic pregnancy, but you can reduce the chances by protecting yourself against pelvic inflammatory disease.
Since you already had one ectopic pregnancy, with one missed abortion and underwent D & C procedure previously, it would be advisable for you to undergo assisted reproductive technique like invitro fertilization (IVF). Kindly consult Infertility specialist in this regard.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
