To get pregnant again after a tubal pregnancy, it is advisable to wait about 4 months if the treatment was carried out with medication or curettage, and 6 months if an abdominal surgery was performed.
Tubal pregnancy is characterized by the implantation of the embryo outside the uterus, the most common site of implantation being the fallopian tubes. This condition is also known as ectopic pregnancy and is usually identified when the woman has symptoms such as acute abdominal pain and bleeding, but the doctor may find that it is a tubal pregnancy when performing the ultrasound.
Is it more difficult to get pregnant after tubal pregnancy?
Some women may find it difficult to get pregnant again after having an ectopic pregnancy, especially if one of the tubes broke or was injured during embryo removal. Women who had to remove or injure both tubes, on the other hand, will not be able to conceive again naturally, requiring a treatment such as in vitro fertilization, for example.
It is possible to know if one of the tubes is still in good condition, with a chance of getting pregnant again naturally, by performing a specific exam called hysterosalpingography. This examination consists of placing a contrasting substance inside the tubes, thus showing any injury or 'clogging'.
