Outlook
The chance of recovery from ectopic pregnancy is very
good if it is found and treated early. Having had an ectopic pregnancy increases
the likelihood that a subsequent pregnancy will also be ectopic. Talk with
your health care provider (an obstetrician is a medical specialist) about your concerns for future fertility and your risk of another ectopic pregnancy. Should you become pregnant again, contacting your health care provider early on is very important to obtain the necessary tests to make sure your pregnancy is inside the uterus.
