Most women who have had an ectopic pregnancy will be able to get pregnant again, even if they've had a fallopian tube removed. Overall, 65% of women achieve a successful pregnancy within 18 months of an ectopic pregnancy. Occasionally, it may be necessary to use fertility treatment such as IVF.

Most women without fallopian tubes who have successful pregnancies become pregnant through in vitro fertilization. Otherwise, the pregnancy is likely to be an ectopic pregnancy that has to be terminated. Visit INSIDER's homepage for more.

It's normal to worry about this. You should know that you can have a normal pregnancy even after an ectopic pregnancy. A third of women with an ectopic pregnancy have a healthy pregnancy down the line. However, you do have a 15% chance of another ectopic pregnancy after the first one.

Ectopic pregnancy is not hereditary i.e. it is not a condition that passes from parent to offspring. You are no more at risk of an ectopic pregnancy than anyone else, even if your immediate family members suffered.

Statistically, the chances of having a future successful pregnancy are very good and 65% of women are healthily pregnant within 18 months of an ectopic pregnancy. Some studies suggest this figure rises to around 85% over 2 years. Your chance of conceiving depends very much on the health of your tubes.

In addition, women who become pregnant whilst using the coil for contraception, or after sterilisation, are more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy. Women who have had previous abdominal surgery are also at higher risk of an ectopic pregnancy.

"The majority of pregnancies that occur after fallopian tube removal are going to be ectopic because [the embryos] don't have ability to make it back to the uterus," Dr. Hodes-Wertz said. "It's very miraculous the sperm would find the egg and then make it's way into the uterus."

“There is no procedure to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy,” said Dr Chris Zahn, vice-president of practice activities at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. “It is not possible to move an ectopic pregnancy from a fallopian tube, or anywhere else it might have implanted, to the uterus,” he said.

Rarely, an ectopic pregnancy can happen after tubal ligation. This isn't like a normal pregnancy, when a fertilized egg attaches and grows inside the uterus. Instead, the fertilized egg implants and starts to grow somewhere else, usually in a fallopian tube.

Ectopic Pregnancy After Hysterectomy An ectopic pregnancy is only possible if the hysterectomy leaves at least one fallopian tube and one ovary intact. With an ectopic pregnancy, ovulation and fertilization may occur, but there is essentially no chance of a fetus surviving.

Ectopic pregnancy risk If a tubal ligation or implant fails and you become pregnant, you have an increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancies can occur years after the tubal ligation and are most likely 3 or more years after the procedure.

How Long Should You Wait to Conceive After an Ectopic Pregnancy? Doctors generally advise waiting for at least three months or two full menstrual cycles before trying for pregnancy. But how long you should wait will also depend on the complications of your previous pregnancy.

Does IVF prevent ectopic pregnancy? No, it is still possible that an embryo transferred into the uterus as part of IVF treatment can find its way into a fallopian tube and cause an ectopic pregnancy.

Your risk of having another ectopic pregnancy is much higher once you've had the first; as many as one in 10 women will have a second ectopic pregnancy. The increased risk is probably about the same whether your ectopic was treated with surgery or medication, though it's too early to have much data on this.

A fetus in an ectopic pregnancy sometimes survives for several weeks. However, because tissues outside the uterus cannot provide the necessary blood supply and support, ultimately the fetus does not survive.

For most women, an ectopic pregnancy is a 'one off' event and does not happen again. Even if you have only one fallopian tube, your chance of getting pregnant again is only slightly reduced.
