No one is safe from an ectopic pregnancy, but life does not end there. Doctors say that re-conception is possible. But you have to prepare well for it.
Causes of an ectopic pregnancy
The main reason for an ectopic pregnancy is that the fertilized egg, without passing through the fallopian tube, remains in it. The fetus began to develop outside the uterus. In the event of an ectopic pregnancy, it is impossible to save the fetus, therefore men and women who are faced with a similar problem experience real stress. Do not forget that all the consequences associated with such fertilization are very serious. And this problem can only be solved by surgery. In the best case, as a result of such conception, you can get a damaged fallopian tube, in the worst case, the fallopian tube is removed. If the operation is not performed on time, internal bleeding may open, which will lead to death.
After removing the fallopian tube, a woman planning to have a baby can only hope that she will be able to get pregnant with only one tube.
Experts quite often argue that after an ectopic pregnancy, you need to prepare very carefully for the next fertilization. A woman after undergoing surgery should monitor her health. Of course, in this case, the chances of getting pregnant are reduced by half or more. Very often in women who have had an ectopic pregnancy, the same result may be repeated or the next pregnancy ends in miscarriage. But all the same, conception after such an incident is possible, and it is quite real.
Pregnancy planning
After an ectopic pregnancy has occurred, the subsequent conception must be carefully planned, you should contact a doctor for help. If you want to give birth to a healthy baby, you will have to wait a little - at least 6 months, ideally 2 years. During this period, the body will fully recover from the stress experienced, and you will be able to put your health in order. Experts recommend that you use contraceptive pills while preparing for your next pregnancy, because this method of contraception is considered one of the most reliable.
After giving up the pills, the ovaries work much harder. There is a high chance of conceiving in the first month.
After an operation to terminate an ectopic pregnancy, it is imperative to undergo a full examination, it is necessary to eliminate the causes. Also, during the examination, the patency of the fallopian tubes is studied, this is done using ultrasound. At the same time, the presence of tumors, cysts, fibroids is checked, as they can cause a second ectopic pregnancy.
