I had an ectopic last year and it was honestly the scariest time of my life. Now we are trying again and I keep getting anxious that it will repeat. My gynac will guide me but I wanted to hear from anyone who went through this, what did ur doc tell u to watch for?
Beta dont carry too much fear, many women have a healthy pregnancy after an ectopic. Just go to the doctor early and let them watch closely from the start, you are not alone in this.
I had an ectopic too and I know how scary it is. Honestly the best thing is to plan your next pregnancy with your gynac and get an early scan as soon as you test positive, so they can confirm baby is in the right place. Please go through this with your doctor, dont rely on general tips.
Sending you a hug first. There isn't always a way to fully prevent it, but treating any infections and close monitoring early on helps. Your doctor is the right person to make a plan for you, please trust them with this.
When I asked my doc about repeat risk she said early ultrasound and early hcg blood tests are the main way they catch it early next time. She also mentioned treating any pelvic infections matters. Definitely get this guidance directly from your own gynac na.
I dont want to give you false promises since every body is different. What I can say is keep your doctor fully in the loop and get checked the moment you suspect pregnancy. Take care of yourself.
