Answer 1

I had to take methotrexate to stop the development of the baby in my tube.  Then I had to wait 3 months for the methotrexate to get out of my system before I could begin TTC again, since the drug could have caused horrible birth defects.

So.....did you take methotrexate, or did you have a procedure?  I would think you'd be able to start trying again.  It's going to take awhile again---not because of the ectopic, but just because TTC sometimes takes a while.

My sympathies for your loss.  Good luck!

Answer 2

I had ectopic pregnancy too.Mine was last August I was 5 weeks pregnant. I was told by my dr that we had to wait at least 3 months before trying again otherwise there can be a possibility of fetal abnormalites.Sorry to hear of your loss. Best of Luck.
