What to ask the doctors

Question

I had an ectopic pregnancy and had to terminate on July 28th at 7 weeks..I go to the doctors on the 22nd of october to discuss trying again, but I'm not sure how to go about it. What are things I should ask? What are some things I can do to prepare? Any advice would be helpful thank you

Answer

For me, my number one concern was how it affected my fertility. I had to have my tube removed (not sure if your situation was the same) and I was convinced it would lower our chances of conceiving. I also wanted to know if it was likely to occur again. I wanted to know if i did get pregnant again, would I be treated as high risk in the beginning and what steps would be taken to ensure the next pregnancy wasn’t a repeat ectopic. And lastly how long should I wait before we seek help if it’s been months without any success at conceiving.

Answer

Did yours get medically treated? I had two and both were treated with methotrexate. They said I could wait three months to be sure my folic acid levels were good for baby but it was a suggestion and some woman get pregnant right away and have healthy little ones
