Hello
Thanks for your query.
Firstly , you need to wait for atleast 6 months before attempting your next pregnancy.
Take folic acid supplements meanwhile.
If you fail to conceive after 3 months of trying to conceive, then consult your doctor and try to assess tubal patency by HSG .
Screen yourself for common infections.
Get Rubella vaccination done.
Chances of repeat ectopic after one ectopic are higher, so have regular antenatal care and ultrasound screening right from the beginning.
Take care.
