An Ectopic pregnancy question

[Anna19]

Hi, do you know whether older women are more to ectopic pregnancies and does having an ectopic pregnancy make it more difficult to have a baby again?
Do you know how an ectopic baby is removed and do many women suffer from depression afterwards and if the depression is similar to one similar to someone that has had a miscarriage as in a way they're similar i think?
Any advice or knowledge and especially if you've been through one yourself would be very helpful and useful to me.
Thank you in advance.

My niece recently went through an ectopic pregnancy, she is only 24, docs did say it would be more difficult to conceive but not impossible as she had to have surgery to remove fallopian tube. Think it depends on individual as to depression she looks at it as being very lucky as if things had gone on without being diagnosed she might not have been with us today.

I an not quite sure about the incidence of ectopics, but I think that the incidence lessen with age( as of course does pregnancy)

The chances of becoming pregnant aftervone ectopic is reduced.

This is a useful site for information. If you click on "Causes" you will see that older age increases the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy.
Depression and future pregnancies are covered under "Complications". Many women do conceive naturally afterwards.

i have a friend who has suffered this - one when she was 23 and one two years later - it is more likely that after suffering one you are lkely to have another - BUT if you have suffered this you may be eligible for IVF on the NHS xxx

Thanks, a friend of a friend had an emergency operation two days ago as she had an ectopic pregnancy and she also had internal bleeding where the fallopian tube was ruptured, she's now had the fallopian tube removed and this got me thinking hence the question.

Thanks again.
