Brief Answer: Chance of healthy pregnancy is 80-85% Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing. The recurrence risk of ectopic is around 15- 20%. Chance of successful pregnancy also depends on the health of the contralateral tube. If the other tube is normal then you have 80% successful chance of a healthy pregnancy. Thanks Dr Bhagyashree
