Hello,
I understand your concern. The positive aspect is that your wife was able to conceive naturally, which indicates that pregnancy is possible.
After an ectopic pregnancy, it is common for conception to take a few months, and trying for only 3 months is generally not considered infertility, especially since your wife is 31 years old.
However, because there has been a previous ectopic pregnancy, it is important to evaluate the underlying cause before continuing to try. Your wife should consult a gynecologist for an assessment, which may include checking the health and patency of the fallopian tubes, ovulation, and other reproductive factors. At the same time, a semen analysis for you is advisable to evaluate male fertility, even if you have conceived previously.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle, have regular intercourse during the fertile window (every 2–3 days around ovulation), and avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and stress as much as possible.
If pregnancy does not occur after 6–12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse, or earlier if your gynecologist advises due to the history of ectopic pregnancy, both partners should undergo a comprehensive fertility evaluation.
Wishing you both the very best. With the right evaluation and timely management, many couples go on to have a healthy pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy.

Since your wife conceived 6 months ago, it confirms that fertilization was possible. However, an ectopic pregnancy is usually related to the embryo implanting outside the uterus (most commonly in the fallopian tube) and is generally not caused by a low sperm count.
Your reported sperm count of 4 million/mL is significantly below the normal reference range (normal is typically 15 million/mL or more). This condition, called oligozoospermia, can reduce the chances of natural conception, although it does not make pregnancy impossibleâas evidenced by your previous conception.
Trying for 3 months after an ectopic pregnancy is not necessarily a cause for alarm, especially if your wife has recovered well. However, given the low sperm count, it is appropriate to undergo a proper fertility evaluation rather than continuing to try without further assessment.

Health Tips
Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Exercise regularly but avoid excessive strenuous workouts. Manage stress, sleep for 7â8 hours each night, and maintain a healthy body weight. Have intercourse every 2â3 days around the fertile window rather than every day, as this is generally sufficient to optimize the chances of conception. Although a sperm count of 4 million/mL is low, many couples are still able to achieve pregnancy with appropriate evaluation and treatment. Since you have already achieved a pregnancy once, that is an encouraging sign, but addressing the low sperm count and ensuring your wife's reproductive health are the next important steps. Thank you
A previous conception is reassuring. Please consult for evaluation of the abnormal semen analysis, and both partners should undergo a fertility assessment.
