In order to become pregnant again after a tubal pregnancy, it is advisable to wait about 4 months if the treatment has been performed with medication or curettage, and 6 months if abdominal surgery has been 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 ultrasound.
Is it harder to get pregnant after tubal pregnancy?
Some women may find it difficult to get pregnant again after having had an ectopic pregnancy, especially if one of the tubes has ruptured or become injured during the removal of the embryo. The women who needed to remove or injure the two fallopian tubes will not be able to conceive again naturally, and a treatment such as in vitro fertilization, for example, must be performed.
It is possible to know if one of the fallopian tubes is still in good condition, having a chance to become pregnant again naturally, performing a specific examination called hysterosalpingography. This exam consists of placing a contrasting substance inside the tubas, thus showing some injury or 'clogging'.
