Trying to get pregnant

	Asked by cookinslindsey@hotmail.com (Female; 23; USA; ectopic pregnancy-surgery August 27, 2008; Relevant drugs:none ) on Tue 16, Sep 2008 10:50am Priced at $0.00
	Due to my ectopic pregnancy, I had to have my left fallopian tube removed. When is it safe to start trying to conceive again and is there anything I can do to increase my chances? Thank You

	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Tue 14, Oct 2008 04:41am: Hi, Thank you for posting your question. Even if you lose one of your tubes, you can still have a normal pregnancy as long as your other tube is normal. And as long as you are ready to conceive again, you can try to become pregnant because the other tube is fine. If and when you do conceive again, it is important that you inform your Obstetrician as soon as you suspect that you might be pregnant so that she can schedule you for an early sonogram and monitor you closely. However, a repeated ectopic pregnancy may occur in 10 - 20% of women and there is also an increased risk of infertility. Fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) wherein healthy embryos are implanted directly in the uterus are usually done. Take care and regards.
