After talking to my obgyn

My obgyn called today to check in after surgery. I asked her the odds of this happening again if we were to decide to try for another baby. She said my odds are slightly raised but she feels I can have a healthy pregnancy and the odds of this happening again are so low. This made me feel a little better but I am honestly still scared to death with the thought of going through this again.
She then said she really thinks this was just all a really bad accident and wasnt caused by scare tissue or anything blocking the egg like most other ectopic pregnancies. She said I had very minimal scare tissue nothing that should have blocked the pregnancy from moving and the scare tissue I did have they cleaned out. This scared me more. I would have rather heard there was a lot of scare tissue on that fallopian tube but my other one looks great so I dont need to worry but since my body just decided to implant the egg outside the uterus for no reason really worries me it may happen again.
I know It probably lessons my odds more but on the other hand if my body did it once why wouldn't it do it again.
She also surprised me and said we only need to wait two weeks before trying to have a baby. We were not trying when we got pregnant and are no where near ready to try again. I was expecting to hear 3-6 months not two weeks. Not only do I think my body needs more time to heal but emotionally I need more time to heal and decide if we really want another little one and risk going through this again.
Still trusting God and leaning on him to guide me and either give me peace to try again or peace to know our family is complete.
