Hi everyone,

I had an ectopic back in March. My symptoms were pain in left side and just constant brown spotting, as well as yo-yoing hcg levels that were very low.

I just got pregnant again and this time I’ve been tracking line progression, and it’s doubling as it should. 15dpo today and just got the 2-3 weeks on clear blue. Thought that put me in the clear

But I started spotting brown watery discharge again. At first was worried about a MC but now it’s day 3 and still on and off brown discharge. It’s always there when I wipe. Sometimes pale sometimes dark. It does leave a little on a Pantyliner.

I’m so upset and beside myself worrying and convinced it’s another ectopic. What makes it worse is, I ovulated from my OTHER side this time so I was happy thinking it will be fine. But problem is, I never feel anything on this side. I’ve had massive cysts burst and never felt it. I don’t feel ovulation or anything. So I’m worried that I won’t be able to feel pain on this side or know if it ruptures

over 24 hours over post op of my left tube rupturing and being removed. no bleeding at all yet. severe amount of pain all over my body. did not think i’d be in this much pain. but i have not bled at all yet. my hcg levels got pretty high, probably close to 7000. i dont know if that will have an effect on how long it takes me to bleed? i’m just looking at a time line of when i’ll have the post surgery bleed and then a period. did anyone not bleed after there surgery at all?

I'm 32, a trans man, and my hubs and I have been ttc for 18 months. Got my first positive test the Monday before last, at 4 weeks. Last week was bliss, until Friday. Since then, it's been nonstop cramping, bleeding, bloating, some days too much for me to be at work. Got myself into the ER over the weekend, and have been working with a nurse since. Monday, my hcg was at 1480. Today, two days later, a measly 1550.

I feel like garbage, and I don't have much hope left for this pregnancy. On Friday, I'll get another blood draw and then go to the doctors office in the afternoon to discuss moving forward. My husband, on the other hand, is staying hopeful and it's honestly making me feel grumpier.

I don't know what I need-- I'm just so sad that this lil sesame seed who gave me so much joy last week is wrecking me now, and I'm feeling the weight of my age.

So i have had 2 ectopics, about 5 months apart both in the same tube, both treated with Methotrexate. Before and after my first ectopic my periods were regular, with random spotting at random times 1-2 times a month (especially after my c section), medium flow and id bleed for 4-5 days. After my second one this past August, my period is finally regular (as in only bleeding once a month, not sporadically) very light and only last 3 days! Maybe its my age i am only 20 and i am a year post partum. My ectopics just really changed how my periods were, flow and everything!

MY EXPERIENCE :

my last period was on 9/18/2024, on 10/25/2024 i decided to buy pregnancy test. i took 2 the night i bought them, 4 hrs apart . both came out positive. i took the 3rd the next morning & that one also came out positive but with a much fainter line. i decided to buy a digital test just to be 100% positive . i bought & took the digital test the next day . it also came out positive . 2 days later i was lightly spotting , only had blood when wiping occasionally none in panties . however the next day i had more bright blood when wiping & lighting spotting in toilet . this is when i decided to use a panty liner . the nxt day was about the same w some real small clots in the toilet & having to change my liner more . on the 29th , i was bleeding enough it was consistently dripping in the toilet & also on the liner . up till the 29th i had slight cramps that i really could barely feel . on the 29th with the blood flow & increased cramp pain i decided to go to the ER abt 3:00 PM . the pain went from a 7 to 9 while in the waiting room . i was waiting till 6:00 PM till i was seen . i had to pee for a urine test, & the took several vials of blood to test my hormones etc . nxt i had to have a ultrasound & it ended up being trans-vaginal one , since she couldnt see anything with the regular one . i was given morphine for the pain & abt 45 mins later the doctor came in & told me i needed to be transferred bc they suspected i had an ectopic pregnancy due to what they saw on the ultrasound & my hormones levels were low despite w a positive pregnancy test. he called the doctor at the main hospital & he told him i would prob need emergency surgery . i was transferred by ambulance abt 15-25 mins later . i was taken to a room for my vitals then straight to surgery . the doctor told me before he was looking at 3 possibilities since he told me he couldnt confirm that it was an ectopic pregnancy until he got in there .. 1) if it is an ectopic pregnancy.. locate it . if it were to be in the fallopian tube , try to save it & removed the egg . 2) if an ectopic pregnancy & tube cannot be saved.. take tube . 3) if it is a cyst.. remove it, & possibly keep pregnancy . he also said he was to check all ovaries , uterus, & tubes . surgery took abt 2 hours. i woke up & felt fine . all pain was gone . i was told i did have an ectopic pregnancy & it had ruptured causing damage to 2/3rds of my right tube , which had to be removed . i ended up w/ 3 incisions . the doctor had also found i had endometriosis . he said all my ovaries & my other tube was fine ! i was in little to no pain through most of the night & asked for pain meds abt 4:00 AM. i slept periodically i was released on 10/30/2024 around 11:00 AM. the pain is slight , but does hurt more when walking & moving . slight constant pain when still . im having to eat little at a time or else the “full feeling” put pressure near my incisions . also coughing & laughing gives the same feeling . i can’t return to work till cleared & my nxt appointment is in a week . i’m also not allowed to lift over 5lbs or drink alcohol . i am fine as of now . however , this experience was painful & a lil traumatizing . e

Hi all,

Last week I was told I had a PUL, nothing detected in the uterus or elsewhere. I was about 5 weeks and betas were very low - 255. Two days later they had only increased by 20%, so I was told likely ectopic or miscarriage. Because I had some one sided pain, my doctor was leaning towards ectopic. She asked if I wanted expectant management or methotrexate. I opted for expectant management since I felt fine (no more pain and there’s been no bleeding) and she wanted me to keep doing betas every 48 hours.

Betas increased 25% over two days, then 35%, then 55%. I’m now somewhere in the middle of my 6th week of pregnancy - exact date unsure. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m scared that it’s a sign of imminent rupture that it’s picking up speed. I’ve been having nightmares and not able to sleep because I’m scared it’ll rupture at any minute.

I have another ultrasound in 2 days, and because my levels are almost at 1000 now, we assume they’ll be in the 1000 range by the time of the ultrasound. I’m praying we’ll be able to see something and get some answers.

As an aside, between my first two ultrasounds, my endometrial thickness went from 15 mm to 8.5 mm. When I saw that, I thought maybe I would start bleeding soon. But it’s been 4 days since the second ultrasound and no bleeding or spotting whatsoever… This also seems so weird but I have no idea what it could mean.

Any similar stories welcome - positive or otherwise. This whole experience feels very isolating and terrifying, and I really appreciate this group!!

I know there’s so many posts on here that are similar but I am just freaking out. I had an ectopic a year ago with absolutely no symptoms. Two doses of methotrexate and everything was fine. I found out I was pregnant about a week and a half ago, probably 4-5 weeks along. I am not in the financial place to have a baby, so I went and got the abortion pill. (Please don’t judge) It didn’t work, I didn’t bleed or cramp or anything. I have been lightly bleeding on and off since yesterday, but it’s like a weird lighter color blood, except this morning I passed a big bright red clot I thought could be the sac? I’m not sure what to do honestly. I’m waiting for my doctor to call me back but I’m just freaking out.

I just landed a new job that requires a drug screen and have my methotrexate injection scheduled today. Im not sure when my drug screening is scheduled, possibly sometime next week. Not only am I heart broken about losing what I thought was our rainbow child, but I’m now worried about a failed drug screening and being unemployed. Please help!

I had an ectopic pregnancy which was resolved by MTX and I may start IVF soon but the doctor wanted me to get a saline sonogram to clear me. I went into today and what was supposed to be a 15 min procedure ending up being an hour long. The catheter kept going to the wrong tunnel (can't remember the word she used) and the doctor ultimately said we would need to do a hysteroscopy. I don't want to do that but it seems like that's my only option. I am nervous all of these tests are slowly creating scar tissue and will affect fertility down the line. Has this happened to anyone?

I (30,F) had a ruptured ectopic last year(2023) and had to undergo emergency surgery. Looking back I remember all the little signs of things going wrong which I did not understand then.

It has been three days since I have had a tightness in my lower abdomen on the side of the only tube I have left. Did not think much of it but still decided to take a home pregnancy test and it tested negative. I went to a doctor today and I tested positive for typhoid and a uti. I I started the medication but something told me I needed to take a second test and this time there is a very faint line.

According to my LMP date I should be about 5 weeks. Now I am so anxious I can't sleep because I am scared of a rupture and then dying. I live alone in a pretty remote part of my country and my partner lives about 14 hours away from me. I am overthinking and overanalyzing every little sound, feeling in my body.

I am planning to book an appointment today (31 oct) but I am not sure the clinics nearby will be open as there is a religious festival today.

I don't know if it's anxiety or am I going to go through the same thing again. Has anyone had a similar experience?

About to get my first shot now. Would love to know what it was like those first days & weeks!

Hi everyone posted in here the other day about 20 days of spotting and slow rising betas. My gut knew this was ectopic. This is all so insane to me! What are the odds, I just had a uterine MC at 6 weeks on 9/15. Back to back now with an ectopic. The docs just came in and gave me the options of methotrexate or surgery for removal. They said I’d be a good candidate for the shot. What was everyone’s experience with it? Nasty side effects? Any success stories of having a life birth after?! I’m so scared of another ectopic. Scared of never being able to hold my baby.

I have a new positive at home pregnant test. I’m not having any symptoms (just being late.) I’ve been having pms like cramping for a week now. Is it likely another ectopic? With my first one I had symptoms at first but then they quickly diminished. Has anyone else had this experience? Of course I’ll be calling my OB for an early monitoring.

Hi everyone! I had surgery on Sunday evening due to ectopic rupture in my tube. Hoping to get a little advice on a couple things. My doctor didn’t really give me that much great information while being discharged from the hospital. Bleeding - I was told that bleeding would be ‘normal’ when does it start and how long does it last for? Driving - I was told no during for 1 to 2 weeks post procedure. Did you guys wait the full week to drive again? Did you need clearance? Also - I have a family holiday that is booked for the 1st of December. Do you think it is safe to go?

Thank you so much in advance x

Hello,

I am currently going through my third pregnancy and was told today it may not be viable due to my numbers. For context, I’ve had 2 previous ectopics on both sides.

I’ve been monitored closely as I was on letrzole this cycle. The first blood test was day 28 of my cycle and the specialist has had me going for weekly blood tests -

11/10 - hCG was 9 and progesterone was 48

16/10 - hCG - 62 and progesterone was 56

23/10 - hCG - 810 and progesterone was 55

30/10 - hCG - 4,470 and progesterone was 37

Due to a scan we think I either ovulated day 15 or 16 of my cycle and I could have had late implantation, hence the lower starting number.

The specialist today is not happy with the rise over the last week and that my progesterone has dropped and feels it is not viable but next steps is to go for a scan, which I’m going to tomorrow as I will go to my early pregnancy assessment unit at the hospital.

I have no bleeding or spotting , I do have pains and cramps but feel they have been on both sides and also experienced period like cramps. I’m so heartbroken if this is another ectopic, I thought my numbers were looking ok but feeling so deflated and losing hope after my results today.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and had a viable pregnancy? I should be about 6 weeks weeks 4 days based on my last menstrual period.

Thanks in advance ❤️

I am 4w1d with a pregnancy. My IUD spontaneously ejected at the beginning of Oct and I had a horrible cramping period and clots. Positive pregnancy test 10/24 after feeling sick and exhausted. Beta hcg 10/25 was 13 and 10/28 was 89. Fast forward to today they did an ultrasound to confirm lack of IUD and my ultrasound tech noted free fluid in my uterus and left adnexa. She said it was concerning.
Brought it up to the Dr and the Dr isn't concerned and only ordered a xray to double check the IUD isn't in my pelvis.
Does free fluid always mean ectopic??

Just had my first period n after it ended ive had very little spotting since actual period ended has this happened to any of you?

Since my surgery on 10/17 I have been finding myself having severe separation anxiety everytime my husband leaves for work. I am already diagnosed with ptsd from trauma that happened in the past and anxiety, but I’ve pretty much been able to manage it without anxiety medication for a little while now. I have an appointment with a therapist in a few weeks, but I’m just wondering if anyone else has felt something similar after a loss? I know there is going to be grief and trauma from the ectopic in general I just didn’t see this one coming.

I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks pregnant on 9/15. 3 days after my progesterone and Hcg were confirmed to be back to baseline. On 10/12-10/14 I had what seemed to be my first post miscarriage period. I bled 4 days (which is my norm) normal flow, normal color, minimal cramping, no clotting. Typical for me. Every day since I stopped full blown bleeding I’ve been spotting! I NEVER spot! Some days it’s hardly anything, some days it picks up. But never enough to need a pad or liner. I have an inito fertility monitor to track urine hormone metabolites and I started checking on what I thought was cycle day 8 to see what was going on and to see if I’d ovulate this month because we were hoping to try again sooner than later. Lo and behold LH started rapidly rising and stayed super high. A normal LH surge only lasts around 24 hours. I crazy confused as to what was going on. I posted my chart in forum and a bunch of ladies told me to take a pregnancy test since LH can mimic hcg hormone. I took one and IT WAS POSITIVE. 🤯🤯🤯 The timeline doesn’t add up. My basal body temps don’t add up. The spotting every day is insanely triggering as I’m so fresh from my miscarriage. I had labs drawn for Hcg and progesterone on Friday (I tested positive on pregnancy test Thursday) and HCG is 446 and progesterone is 7.3. Started taking progesterone bio identical drops every day just in case. Labs drawn yesterday: hcg at 587 progesterone at 8.8. Had a transvaginal ultrasound last Friday (day of first betas) and couldn’t see anything at all.

Only 32% increase and still spotting

Hello, I found this subreddit after I went through surgery to remove my left fallopian tube due to an ectopic pregnancy. This community has really helped me navigate the emotional impact of this difficult experience.

To share a bit of background: my boyfriend and I weren’t expecting a pregnancy, and given the circumstances, we knew it wasn’t viable. The news still came as a shock, especially when I learned how complicated the situation was. I honestly felt like my world was falling apart.

After a positive pregnancy test, I went in for a beta hCG test, and the levels were around 5200. My OB-GYN performed an ultrasound but couldn’t locate anything definitive. We started with a Methotrexate shot, hoping it would lower the hCG levels, but two days later, my hCG had actually risen to 11,000. Despite this increase, my doctor remained hopeful, so we went ahead with a second shot and waited four more days to see if the numbers would go down.

When the results came back, my hCG had reached 12,300. My boyfriend and I were cautiously optimistic because it hadn’t doubled as expected, which is often a sign that things aren’t progressing typically. But when we saw the doctor’s worried expression during the next ultrasound, I knew something was wrong. She finally located a mass around 2 cm in my left fallopian tube and recommended immediate surgery.

The surgery took place later that day, around 3 PM. I was terrified; it was my first surgery, and my doctor informed me afterward that the tube was on the verge of rupturing. Ironically, I was “lucky” to have caught it early because I hadn’t been experiencing any typical symptoms of ectopic pregnancy. Aside from a bit of cramping, which I initially attributed to my upcoming period, I felt fine.

Now, nearly a month post-surgery, I’m dealing with the emotional and mental aftermath. My doctor recommended birth control to lower the risk of another ectopic pregnancy, so I’m on hormonal birth control pills. My boyfriend and I are also using condoms to be extra cautious. Even with both measures, I still have anxiety about intimacy. The fear of “what if” lingers, and as someone who has struggled with anxiety in the past, I can’t shake the feeling that something could go wrong again.

So, I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has been through this. Do you think I’m overthinking the risks with the combined use of condoms and the pill? How did you cope with the fear of intimacy after an ectopic pregnancy? Any advice or reassurance would mean a lot.

I am currently in tears as write this. I am such a mess, I have a 2 year old toddler and I am so scared… to either have surgery or rupture. I am currently 8w4d and my HCG numbers were 42000+ yesterday.
I began to suspect of an ectopic at 5w, when I had some brown spotting and so shooting cramps on my right side. I went to the ER, had an ultrasound and they found a subchoronionic bleeding. They found a mass they attributed to a corpus luteum on my left ovary, and that was it. The sac and the embryo were visible inside the uterus.

Moving forward to yesterday, at 8w3 days the could not see the baby inside the sac and found a mass on my right tube, closer to the ovary. This mass measures 1.7 x 1.5cm.

Doctor discarded the MTx due to the HCG higher numbers and pushed to schedule a surgery. But now I am so lost, because I feel the high levels of HCG are due to the uterine pregnancy and not the ectopic that my be shrinking on its own (it’s small). What should I do? Anyone with similar stories? Sorry for the long text.

So, my story is both positive and negative. The positive side of my story is that after two years of unsuccessfully trying to conceive, the mucinex method worked for me!! I took the 600mg pills twice a day. Once in the morning and once before bed, for 4 days, starting three days before ovulation and took until the day of ovulation. I was soooo skeptical and totally didn’t believe in it! Then, the day before my expected period I got the faintest of lines on a strip test and a positive digital! I was in disbelief! My hcg was low but it doubled and tripled as it should, shooting right up to 3300!

Now for the negative part (that has nothing to do with mucinex and I’m still a believer)… About a week and a half after my positive (5 weeks 6 days pregnant), I started bleeding and cramping for about an hour. My husband took me to the emergency room and they did an ultrasound on me. They told me they did not see anything in my uterus but one of my tubes looked a little fuller than the other so they admitted me to the hospital for 4 days for a suspected ectopic. I wanted another ultrasound but they said it was no use. They gave me methotrexate on Sept 10 and sent me home a couple of days later. Now I have to wait 3 months to try to conceive again due to the methotrexate birth defects.

A week later, my hcg went up to 6600, which shouldn’t happen when you treat an ectopic with methotrexate. The doctor told me I’d need another dose or surgery, so I opted for a second dose. He wanted me to come in for an ultrasound to check my tubes. As soon as he put the probe in me, I saw my baby on the screen. My baby was in my uterus all along, now potentially affected by methotrexate and had stopped growing at the exact measuring date that I had the injection, 6 weeks 1 day. The doctors made a terrible mistake 💔 I had to take misoptostol to abort the pregnancy. Devastated doesn’t begin to explain what we felt.

I’ve been told to wait 12 weeks to try again (Cleared as of December 3). Does anyone have success conceiving after methotrexate? How soon after the injection did you conceive? I plan to wait the whole 12 weeks but is it safe then?

My first pregnancy was ectopic. My second resulted in my lovely baby. My third was a miscarriage. This one has me scared it’s ectopic or another miscarriage.

There is a much higher chance of having another ectopic if your first pregnancy was. If this pregnancy doesn’t result in a baby I may look into permanent fertility solutions to ease my fears. Pregnancy is so hard on my body and the beginning fear is horrific for my sanity.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in July. I got pregnant with a copper IUD and if it was going to be viable then my partner and I decided we wanted to keep it. Of course shit hit the fan and a few weeks later I started bleeding more and had to have a D&C and then methotrexate. It was all so traumatic and just so unexpected. We want to start actually trying to have a baby in December and now that we're getting closer I'm getting more anxious that it'll happen again. I keep reminding myself that it was likely caused because of the IUD, but I also know that my risk is higher now that I've had one ectopic. Would appreciate any advice on how to quiet my mind. <333

Hi folks! I've spotted a few posts about hormonal contraceptives potentially raising the risk of ectopic pregnancy but what about Norethisterone? This is the progesterone based period delay tablet, might be called something different in other countries.

I only took it for a week mid July and conceived mid September after having had 2 periods since taking it, so it's unlikely to be related, right? I'm interpreting it as being daily longer term use of hormonal medication that can raise rhe risks rather than short term...

Changes nothing and we'll never really know for sure why it happened, I need to stop tormenting myself - my brain annoys me so much. I was wondering if anyone knew more information on this specifically. Can't find anything that says that it could impact hormone levels longer term once stopped. I also had other risk factors - two previous laparoscopies and a previous emergency c-section (although in my case the scarring and adhesions from these weren't anywhere near my tubes and my surgeon felt they're unrelated).

Hi all,

This is probably the most desperate I've ever felt, physically and emotionally in my entire life.

I am having the worst pregnancy scare/ectopic scare of my life. I am 30. I am no longer in a relationship with the person I had unprotected sex with 6 weeks ago and I am completely alone in this.

My ex and I last had sex September 17th which was the day I was ovulating according to Flo. We didn't use protection (yes i know stupid) but he pulled out before finishing.

I had 7 days of bleeding (lighter than normal) 10 days after that incident. I hope it was a period and not implantation bleeding/something else. Blood started pinkish and very light first day, then went to a light to moderate flow with a runny red consistency and no clots.

My period is FIVE days late as of today. I have had severe cramping in my lower abdomen on and off for two weeks now, but very intensely the past five days and today. I don't have other known pregnancy symptoms other than extreme mood swings (worse than i have ever had) and food craving especially sweets. Over the past few weeks I have done about 12 cheap pregnancy urine tests, all came back negative. I had an ultrasound done a few days ago (when i would have been 7 weeks gestation hypothetically speaking) due to suspected endo (separate problem) and I got the all clear for endo/cysts and asked if there was any visual pregnancy on the ultrasound to which I was told no but I also understand that an ectopic might not be visible on ultrasound.

What makes me worry about a potential ectopic is the following:

-Unusual period after unprotected sex

-A few weeks ago I had a 1-2week long episode of fairly severe sharp pain in the left ovary area which was frequently waking me up at night. This is what prompted me to go to get an internal ultrasound.

-MULTIPLE negative urine tests (also testing at diff times of day, morning, evening when more hydrated etc)

-Weird on and off dull ache in my armpit area - could linked to ectopic shoulder pain, not sure

(If anyone is experienced in reading ultrasound images and can help me interpret mine, I would be extremely grateful.)

I don't know what to do. I am freaking out. I have had period like cramps all day for 5 days but no bleeding, not even spotting. I sometimes get waves of nausea throughout the day, but they're very mild and transient.

How likely is a false negative at, hypothetically, 8 weeks gestation?

I have a poor relationship with my family and sadly live with them at the moment. They don't understand why I'm so moody this week. I can't be truthful with them. I'm completely terrified. There is nobody who can help me. I live in the UK where waiting lists for healthcare are long, my next ultrasound for the pelvic pain issue I had earlier this month is in mid November.

UPDATE: I ruptured today and went to the ER around 10 pm after my levels increased from 3,222 to 5,800 in 18 hours. experiencing SHARP and sudden pain on my left side. Emergency surgery and they removed my left tube.

’m so sorry to post here what feels like every 5 minutes. i can’t stop my mind from spiraling and i’m just so scared. my question is what can i expect from surgery? how long will it take me to heal? i’m a stay at home mom mostly, but also a part time college student and i go to a class twice a week. i don’t even know what this recovery will look like, i’m reading different things so it would be helpful to know some people’s real life experience if anyone is willing to share. my surgery is planned for next week, that is if i don’t rupture before then. 💔

hello everyone. a little bit of my situation right now with my PUL: my surgery is scheduled next week for an exploratory surgery to see if they can locate the ectopic pregnancy and then they will remove the tube right then if they do. I decided i wanted to go this route because i do want want MTX. if they don’t find anything during the surgery, i will have to take it. the reason i dont want it is i want to try again as soon as possible and i know you have to wait longer to try with MTX.

my question is, how long after did you try again after your tube removal and how long did it take you to be successful if you were.

i’m still kind of in shock that i am here. i have had 3 pregnancies with no losses or ectopics. i’m 25 with no “risk factors” as i’ve read them. i’m still trying to wrap my mind around this. any success stories will really help right now. my oldest son is 8 and i really really did not want his youngest sibling to be so far in age from him. we had already been trying for 6 months. the fact that this happened, i’m just devastated and looking for any peace of mind that i could possibly still have a healthy baby, sooner than later.

Hello Everyone I hope everyone is doing well. My wife had a miscarriage as per her OBGYN 3 weeks back. They conducted the URINE TEST and TRANSVAGIANAL ULTRASOUND was conducted. The Doctor told us that she was pregnant but had a miscarriage; further, everything was out of her body. But a few days ago, my wife had sudden severe stomach pain and she had to do EMERGENCY ECTOPIC SURGERY. Her fallopian tube had to be removed. As per my research, she should have been monitored by her Doctor to make sure the embryo is in a location other than Uterus. But her doctor didn't perform such a thing. He told us clearly that everything was out.

I think this is a medical malpractice as per (ACOG Practice Bulletin No. 193: Tubal Ectopic Pregnancy, 2018). "After a miscarriage, serial measurement of serum hCG levels is recommended to ensure that they return to pre-pregnancy levels. Persistently elevated or plateauing hCG levels may indicate retained products of conception or an ectopic pregnancy, and further evaluation, including ultrasound, is warranted in such cases." We want to make a lawsuit against the doctor, do we have a case? Please suggest. Thank you!

Hey all, just wondering if anyone else here go through an ectopic after a normal first pregnancy? I ask because I'm just all sorts of confused. I had my right tube removed after a ruptured ectopic. OB said my tube was badly scarred and therefore the egg couldn't make it's way to the uterus.

But then I'm just left wondering, how did it get through the first time with my now daughter? Any chance my left tube is okay...? We really want another child and am worried now about our chances .

Feeling all sorts of shame and responsibility because doc asked whether I'd ever had chlamydia. Which I did, nearly 15 years ago as a stupid young adult/19 yr old. Apparently that caused the scarring in the tube... Can't believe a decision I made as a dumb kid is haunting me now.
