Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Sure: After one ectopic pregnancy the recurrence risk is about 15% so you should be seen by your Ob Doctor very early in your pregnancy to rule out another ectopic pregnancy. Most women have successful pregnancies after having an ectopic.
