Re: Ectopic pregnancy
inshallah that wont happen. i did quite a bit of research when this was going on, and I know that while there is a risk to future pregnancies, odds are more in favour of them being successful.
Approximately 30% of women who have had ectopic pregnancies will have difficulty becoming pregnant again. Your prognosis depends mainly on the extent of the damage and the surgery that was done.
**
If the fallopian tube has been spared, chances of a future successful pregnancy are 60%. Even if one fallopian tube has been removed, chances of having a successful pregnancy with the other tube can be greater than 40%.

The likelihood of a repeat ectopic pregnancy increases with each subsequent ectopic pregnancy. Once you have had one ectopic pregnancy, you face an approximate 15% chance of having another. (85% likelihood of it not happening again)
