[quote=Anonymous]Ectopic in April, treated with methotrexate (not surgery like you had). That was my first pregnancy. Had an HSG in September because I still had the offending tube. Results were normal and I got pregnant that cycle. Am now in my second trimester. So far so good. The ectopic was hard, really hard mentally. But my doctor (and my own research) convinced me it was just bad luck. I did make sure the second pregnancy was monitored very closely at the beginning - blood tests every 2 days from my first BFP to make sure my hcg was doubling until the first ultrasound at 5 weeks to make sure it was in the right place and a second ultrasound at 6 weeks to be extra sure and see the heartbeat. I'd recommend the same to anyone with a history of ectopic, esp. if she only had one tube left. BTW I experienced tons of cramping with the second. More than with the ectopic. It was scary for a while there. Good luck! [/quote]
