my wife has just had an eptopic pregnancy how long should we wait to try again.
hello im L.'s wife and i can relate to so many of the answers everyone left i wanted him to hear from other people how a lose of a child can mentally stress u out i was pregnant in january of 2010 and lose are baby March24, 2010 and i had a very hard time getting over that and not trying to get pregnant i found out i was pregnant again in june it was august10,2010 when i gound out it was an eptopic pregnancy and i was sent right to surgey i was so scared and lost not knowing why this was happening to me i cried and question myself as a woman because i felt like i couldn't give my husband a child he really wanted another kid really bad but im really scared and i need him to understand that i dont feel like my mind and body is ready and he is a good man and understanding but where young and i was hoping him hear from other woman that my have went though what we went though would show him other was to understand my feelings
I was told to wait 6 weeks after my final 'clean' exam (for lack of a better way to say it). Which my final exam after the eptopic pregnancy was about 3 months later. Once you get the ok from her doc, I would be more concerned with her being mentally ready. I know that I wasn't mentally ready to try again for about a year.
Your and your wife should wait 2-3 menstrual cycles before trying again. Let the body heal. My doctor told me to wait three months. I got pregnant five months later and now have a great three year old son. Good luck and god bless.
I had one and our doctor advised at least three months, the same as our miscarriages we had. I would agree with Rachel and say wait until you are both emotionally ready too. I had to wait a bit because I was up and down, but in the end I'm glad we wait until we were both able to handle another pregnancy or possible loss again. Best of luck!
Of course I would ask the doctor when her body will be ready. We are going through a situation where will lose our baby after birth and that was one of the questions i asked was when we could try again. My doctor recommended a year for your body to heal... but she wanted us to wait for at least 6 weeks after... but make sure that both of you are emotionally ready for the situation. And that your wife isnt experincing post partum depression or anything. She needs to be mentally healthy before trying again just because it is a traumatic thing you two have experienced and could be hard the next time.
Please let us know if and when you talk to the doctor and what they recommend!!! Good luck i wish y'all the best!
till both of you are ready to try again. the loss of a child so to speak can effect people diffrent ways just like a miscarriage. you may be ready before her and she may be ready before you and both of you need to be ready to try again. I would also ask her doc. if this isnt her first lost child it may take her longer than you.
I believe I had mine in september or october and then started trying again in January but you should check with the doctor just in case!
I had an ectopic in February 2008 that required surgery. We were told to wait 6 months at least. However, as most other responders have noted, it is far more important to consider your emotional readiness.
I had one in October of 2009- but they caught it early enough that surgery wasn't needed- I was given a shot that made me really sick instead. We were pregnant again in January- unfortunately we had a miscarriage but we got pregnant again and our daughter was born in January 2010. She is perfectly healthy. I think had we waited a little longer- I might not have had the miscarriage in January.
One of the reasons for the ectopic pregnancy was because I wasn't eating very good- make sure your wife is getting plenty of vitamins through her food and that she is taking a good prenatal vitamin also. I'm sorry both of you went through this- it is tough.
Best of luck!
