i once had an acttopic pregnancy,is there any chances that i can conceive again?
Dan says...
Hi Lungile,
I understand that it is indeed possible for you to become pregnant again, though it isn’t recommended that you start trying to conceive until at least 6 weeks have passed since your Ectopic pregnancy ended. Also, if you do become pregnant again you should let your doctors know as soon as possible and be sure they are aware that your last pregnancy was ectopic as there is an increased chance of it happening again. I’m sure you are aware of how dangerous this kind of pregnancy can be to both mother and baby. Be sure your doctors are aware of your history.
Good luck!
