ive been pregnant b4 but it was a ectopic pregnancy. My body miscarried it cause if it hadn't it may have killed me. I was about 2months or more along. That was about 2 yrs ago. Now im married and we've been together a tiny over a yr. now. Its not that we're trying to have a kid, its just whatever happens happens, but nothing has happened.. When i miscarried i went to the docs and over about 4 days i had 2 trans-vaginal ultrasounds and a lot of blood work. they came to the conclusion i was miscarrying. They didn't do anything like check up on me or anything just did blood work to see if my hormones were going down. Im afraid that maybe there is scarring or something from the miscarriage that may be preventing me from getting pregnant. or that my husband isn't fertile. Who exactly do i go see about this? Id really like to have kids but i need to find out whats going on first. If anyone could be of any help i would greatly appreciate it.


Answer:
If I remember rightly, the average woman takes about eighteen months to get pregnant. You've already been pregnant, it might well have been nothing more than a sad accident that it was ectopic. An ectopic pregnancy can happen to anyone and if you hadn't miscarried it would have been aborted medically.

If there had been significant damage from the miscarriage, surely the doctors would have alerted you to this following your trans-vaginal scans? Also, scarring in the womb usually results in side-effects such as heavy or irregular periods and/or severe menstrual pains. If you've got any worrying symptoms, ask for another scan.

Your husband is probably fine, as it's perfectly normal for a couple to not fall pregnant for a year or two after they begin trying. Fertility is only one factor in it - timing is another important thing to take into account! If you've not really been trying, maybe you've just not been having sex at any of the right times? If in doubt, you could pay for a private fertility test for your husband to check his sperm count.

Normally, people spend a couple of years trying to get pregnant without success before they go down the route of fertility testing though. It really is very normal for it to take a year or two.

Good luck to you.


Answer:
All you can do is go to the physician to be tested for fertility.

Answer:
I know 3 three friends who have had eptopic pregnancies. They all went on to have many kids normally. My advice just relax and stop trying because then it will happen. All the best to you xxxx
