Does a past eptopic pregnancy effect the chances of future pregnancies?

Yes: First, there is a 10-30% chance of another ectopic pregnancy. Consult your OB as soon as you have a + pregnancy test, are late with your period if regular, or have pain or bleeding . Second, many diseases that damage your tubes in the first place (pelvic infections or endometriosis) can damage your ovaries and lower your egg supply - a reproductive endocrinologist can check this. Some may need ivf.

Yes: An ectopic pregnancy is associated with a blocked or damaged fallopian tube. Many women with this problem are unable to conceive because there is no way for the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus.

Yes.. But: I agree with the other two answers but i want to clarify a point. An ectopic pregnancy can cause damage tot he tube during treatment and healing. Perhaps more likely is that the cause of the first ectopic pregnancy is the cause of infertility, rather than the ectopic. As many as 30% of women with a previous ectopic pregnancy do not conceive naturally in the future. Best wishes.

Most definately: A previous tubal ectopic pregnancy significantly increases the chance of a second ectopic. So if you're late for your menses and/or feel that you're pregnant see your gynecologist.

Yes: Your history of ectopic pregnancy indicates that you have tubal disease. So your risk of future tubal pregnancy is higher than general population. I suggest you have closely monitor your future pregnancy, or consider ivf to prevent future ectopics.
