Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after an ectopic?

I had an ectopic pregnancy in August of 2009. I thought it was a cyst but it turned out to be ectopic. I am now ttc. I have irregular periods but I went out and got the First Response Ovulation test and some folic acid. Has anyone had a successful full term pregnancy after an ectopic?

I have a 6 1/2 yr. old so this will technically be #3?!

    @singlemomofsoontobe3 I'm sorry about your loss. I had a laraposcopy(sp) done where my doc just removed the fetus and repaired the tube. My periods have been irregular since so it's really frustrating!!

    My best friend had an ectopic, she is also -blood type. So Dr never told her to get a shot right after so if she got preg again she wouln't have issues. Because if her blood comes in contact with +blood it will fight it off as infection. Well she got preg about 2 years later and discovered her prob. Nothing happened till around 26 27 weeks. Her body started fighting the preg. I believ she was induced about 33 weeks because of it. So her son was in hospital for about 3 weeks. He is now a healthy happy 18mo old. Despite all he had to fight!! So don't stress to much. Its amazing what our bodys and these lil lives can over come!!

    I was actually an eptopic pregnancy that survived

    I'm just worried about having a second one. I have also heard that the mc rate is higher after an ectopic??
  • Lovelymom23Lovelymom23
    I have just heard it from different people and friends. I looked it up and it doesn't really say anything about it being higher. Idk. I think that I ovulate between the 13th and the 18th so is it too late to start taking the folic acid? I had my daughter when I was 16 so all this ttc business is new to me :-S

    Anytime i see this question i have to tell the story of my own birth. My mom had 2 boys 18 mo apart then an etopic and had to have her tube removed and the other tied. The next year she was sick and told her dr she was preggo and he said impossible. Lol. Needless to say i arrived on my due date. Anything is possible.
