Hi. Am going through a rough time after an ectopic earlier this year, as my 'due date' from that approaches and still not pregnant. Would apprecaite to hear from anyone who has gone through an ectopic: how long did it take to conceive again, did your cycle change after the surgery/ methatraxate, did you feel that your body changed after the ectopic? My cycles shortened from 27 to 25 days, I think possibly the two months that period came on day 30 it could have been a chemical pregnancy. Also inexplicably gained alot of weight.Any suggestions for a good Obgyn who I could go see to get checked out, I think I need a doctor who is knowledgable and who has the time to listen and be supportive. Thanks in advance

Hi poppy, this is Zeynab hope you remember me :) don't give up Hun I had two miscarriages this year as first one was in January n other one in July.i can understand your feelings. I have also been admitted into the hospital as they were suspecting that to be ectopic but thanks god I discharged from hospital safely as my beta hcg was start dropping. All I can advice is just relax n stop thinking on this, keep yourself busy as much as you can n leave this to nature and inshallah you will be pregnant soon with all of our prayers.

Poppy82. I am afraid I dont have experience of an eptopic but I can totally get how you are feeling as also have a due date looming and all around me seem to be pregnant. Please don't give up hope. Your little one will be with you soon. Sending you big hugs and thinking of you. I cannot recommend anyone but I do have a good friend who has a lot of faith in Dr Sant too. xxx

Hi Poppy82. I am so very sorry to hear about your ectopic pregnancy. I had what the hospital called a 'tubal miscarriage' 2 years ago, but I didn't have to have the methotrexate injection in the end. I have a history of recurrent miscarriage and I highly recommend Dr Rosalie Sant at Primavera Medical in Healthcare City. I saw her after the tubal and she was wonderful. I now have a beautiful baby girl. A very good friend of mine had a very scary ectopic and lost one fallopian tube. She now has a beautiful boy and is pregnant with number two. Both times it took a year of trying. Just wanted to let you know that an ectopic doesn't mean all hope is lost. All the very best to you.
