Hi. I'm just getting through an ectopic pregnancy, successfully treated with methotrexate (thankfully). We're planning to do a donor egg cycle for our next try (I just can't bear to go through another loss with my eggs). But I'm really frightened of a recurrence of an ectopic pregnancy. Possibly to the point of not going ahead with the attempt.
It seems that a lot of women had an HSG done after their ectopics. Since I'd be doing IVF, I won't need my tubes. But maybe there are other reasons to do the HSG? I had one done last January and all was clear - but things can (and have) certainly change.
And is there anything else that people's doctors recommended be done before trying again? My clinic doesn't seem to think that I need to do anything but wait a natural cycle. I just wouldn't want to find out later that there was something I could have done to prevent another ectopic.
Any thoughts appreciated. . . .
