Can I be preg again so soon after ectopic?
Hi
My pregnancy was 5 weeks 2days when I had ectopic and my right tube was removed. At four weeks along the preg, I started spotting and this continued for 8days. When I visited my doctor on the 8th day of spotting, I had a surgery. However its 5 weeks after the surgery and I have started spotting with severe abdominal pains and a very sharp pain on my left abdomen but very little bleeding. My next doc appt is until 20th March. I started having unprotected sex from the 10th day of my surgery and I've been sexually active since. Could this light spotting be that I'm preg again? or could it be the start of my first period. My husband and I are very worried. Pls help

Hello,
I have had two miscarriages but they were not ectopic, My best friend had an ectopic pregnancy last year and I know she also had one of her tubes removed, but the doctor told her that next time, she had more probabilities of having another ectopic pregnancy, and that as soon as she felt she was pregnant she had to go immediately to the dorctos's to make sure she was not in danger.
I recommend you to take a pregnancy test, and if it is positive talk to your doctor because you can be in danger also.
My best Luck for you :)

Im sorry to hear of Your loss. I've heard that you are most fertile after a pregnancy even if you lost it. I would wait till your period is due and take a hpt or have your dr order an HCG. It also might take a little time for your hormones and period to regulate.

I would definitely take a HPT because you could be pregnant again. I'd make a Dr's appointment to get checked out regardless, because severe pain isn't normal and if you aren't pg it could be a complication from the surgery.
Good Luck and keep us posted.
