Are you at risk of ectopic pregnancy after having one ovary removed and a cyst removed on the other?

I would not think an ectopic is any more likely in the situation you describe. Surgery on the tubes might make an ectopic more likely but not on the ovaries.

How can you prevent another ectopic pregnancy after having chlamydia?
There may be nothing you can do other than use IVF for your pregnancy (although IVF itself carries an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy). Talk with your health care provider about options.
What does ectopic mean?
It is when the fertilised egg plants anywhere other than in the uterus/womb and if this is the case the pregnancy cannot continue. Sometimes the body rejects the egg naturally and other times it has to be removed through surgery or an injection.
Could your next pregnancy be ectopic pregnancy also?
Well the chances of having an ectopic pregnancy is .25% which is less then 1% which would make it almost completely uncommon for a 2nd pregnancy to be ectopic, but that percent is possible, especially if you have previous....ectopic pregnancy. But its a low percent.
What and how is ectopic pregnancy happen?
An ectopic pregnancy is when the fertilised egg attaches itself outside the uterus. The most common place where the ectopic pregnancy occurs is the fallopian tubes. Other possible areas where the ectopic could occur are the ovaries, abdomen and the cervix. The cause for ectopic pregnancy is mostly unknown. However endometriosis, any surgery to the abdomen, previous pelvic inflammatory disease all increase the chances of an ectopic pregnancy.
Do you need an ultrasound to tell if you have an ectopic pregnancy?
Yes, you do. An ectopic pregnancy is just like a "regular" pregnancy for the first few weeks. Everything feels the same. An ultrasound is done early in a pregnancy to check things out, and if a pregnancy is ectopic, a good ultrasound technician will be able to spot it. There is no other non-invasive way to discover an ectopic pregnancy, and because of the risks posed by an ectopic pregnancy, it is critical to discover it early - if in fact there is one. Ectopic pregnancies are invariably life-threatening events, and prenatal care is important for that and many other reasons.
Is it possible for your tube tied to have a baby?
Yes. It would require invitro fertilization.
Can you still have a normal pregnancy after having a previos ectopic which resulted in losing your right fallopian tube?
Yes. You still have the other fallopian tube.
What are the chances of getting pregnant after having an ectopic pregnancy but didn't loose a tube?
You should still be able to get pregnant. If the other pregnancy was recent, then it is more likely you will be able to get pregnant because you are very fertile after a pregnancy
How do you if the symptoms you are having are your period or an ectopic pregnancy?
With an ectopic pregnany there will be severe pain on only one side of your lower abdominal. (where your fallopian tube is) Also there could be other symptoms such as fever, vomiting, nausua, and bleeding. But your period has cramping across your abdominal region and an ectopic pregnancy has SEVERE pain in one area, left or right side.
Will you have a positive pregnancy test after surgery for ectopic pregnancy?
You certainly can go on to have a healthy pregnancy or pregnancies after having an ectopic pregnancy. If you had your tube removed, and still have one working tube and ovary, your chances of getting pregnant each month are simply half that of a woman with 2 functioning ovaries and tubes. This is because your ovary will most likely only release an egg every other month, as it always has.
What are some problems with a ectopic pregnancy?
The main problem with ectopic pregnancies is that they must usually be terminated. These happen when the fertilized egg lodges itself somewhere other than in the uterus, most often in the fallopian tubes. If an ectopic pregnancy occurs, then the egg must be removed, and the pregnancy ended. If this course of action is not taken, then the developing fetus may break through the walls of the fallopian tubes, which could put the life of the mother in serious danger.
Is a tubal and ectopic pregnancy the same thing?
A normal pregnancy is when the foetus grow in the womb where it's supposed to be, whereas an ectopic pregnancy is where the foetus is growing in the fallopian tubes, this is very serious if you suspect an ectopic pregnancy go strait to you GP or nearest A&E department, Ectopic pregnancies can be potentially life threatening.
