Hey roderick_rivera, how are you doing?
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy that
develops outside the womb, usually in one
of the fallopian tubes, but rare cases in
the ovary or in the cervix have been
known. If you've had any abdominal
surgery, including an appendix removal or
a caesarian section, you are at risk.
If you have had abdominal surgery, it's
best to wait for six months to allow
scarring to heal', says dr watson. We
normally advise women who've had a
laparoscopy to wait three to four months
before trying to conceive again.
