Re: Two ectopic pregnancies in the same tube: how come?From: Anneminke (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 28 Aug 1997 04:55:45 -0500 (CDT)

In fact, although some women will have a subsequent >ectopic pregnancy, as you have, others will have a normal pregnancy >using the same tube that was operated on. > Thank you very much for your answer. I can already tell you that the first time my tube WAS ruptured. (The size of the embryo was 7cm by 4cm by 4cm.) They tied the rest of what was left of the tube up on both sides, (uterus and ovary-side). A contrastpicture was taken to see the condition of the right tube. I was told that that tube was just fine, so a pregnancy would still be possible. The left tube did not appear at all on these images, so it was assumed that that one was completely 'out of order'. I have heard things like possibly a fistula coud have caused the second ectopic, or a 're-routing' of the tube??! Thanks again for your time, Anneminke
