I had an ectopic pregnancy in September, and preg again in Jan, just want to reassure other women who have had one that it doesn’t necessarily reduce your fertility massively. My Dr said that as my other tube was healthy and I had no underlying probs such as endometriosis or infection, any impact on my fertility was insignificant. Your body is amazing and adjusts, Dr said you are likely to only ovulate from side of tube as the fallopian tube releases chemicals that stimulate the ovary and in any case your tube can reach round to the other ovary. I hope this helps other women recovering from ectopic pregnancy.

If you’ve had a few miscarriages. I would get a full blood work up done. I had 4 early miscarriages found out I have 3 blood clotting factors…put me on lovenox and now I am coming along with this pregnancy: )

I have had 3 chemical pregnancies (2 ending at 16-17 days past Ovulation and the last a little past 5weeks while taking 100mg of Prometrium) I have 1 son (almost 4 who was conceived and carried full term no problem) I am now 36. I am confused if these early losses are considered to be “normal” as in the 75% statistic range or because my period came a couple days late is it more unusual and is there probably something wrong??

I had a miscarriage at 4 weeks on Aug 24th, 2009 and then found out I was pregnant again at the end of September. I am now 6weeks today. Our first u/s showed a gestational sac, yolk sac, and fetal pole, but no heart beat yet. I’m so scared about going in for the 2nd u/s in 2 weeks and still not seeing a heartbeat. Now that I know there is a fetal pole have my chances of a miscarriage dropped at all?

I am 24 yrs old and am in the military. I recently(AUG,1,2009)had my third miscarriage. I am completely in the dark as to why this keeps happening to me. My husband wants to have a baby more than anything,but I am terrified to try again.Where I am currently located they dont offer any testing to help me find out what could be causing this to happen.Not to mention my job and those appointed over me couldnt be more insensative if they tried. I had 3 days to get over it and nobody who understood or even really cared(besides my husband) and my family is thousands of miles away. I am still in mourning by myself and in severe depression behind closed doors.I dont even bring it up to my hubby anymore.I am truly devastated and I just dont think I could take this pain again.At least I know I am not alone,but sadly that doesnt ease this pain.Maybe babies and I just werent meant to be.The stats certainetly aren’t in my favor. God please help me:(

I had ectopic pregnancy in May 09 and doctors have to removed my left tube. After that my periods were normall but this month it started too soon and its almost two week I am bleeding. It was my first pregnancy, I am so dispressed and worry that whether am I going to concieve again or not. I went to doctor yesterday and she don’t know why I am bleeding, it might be I am not ovulating on time or it can be b’coz of my Thyroid. She will do Hystosalpingogram to see my other tube is opened. Fingers crossed until then.

I completely understand the sadness and nervousness of trying to conceive and carry another pregnancy. I went through so much saddness with my loses and fear that I would never carry a pregnancy to full term. Friends, family and doctors told me to keep trying and I felt they were heartless. In hindsight, their advise was correct…….. I’m now a mother to two wonderful children 6 and 3 years old and two angels in heaven.. (No heartbeat at 16 week appointment, Michael Anna died at 14.5 weeks & Ezra died at 6 weeks.) Keep trying, God will find a way to put a child into your arms.
