Dear Lostsoul,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss and the way the hospital have contacted you after this amount of time.
I do not know what standard practice is in your local hospital but this seems far from ideal and not something I often hear of hospitals doing (unless further tests were needed, but they would usually advise you on this and expected time frame first).
If you have any queries about the way this has been handled, I would suggest speaking to the Patient Advice Liaison Service (PALS) who will be able to look into this for you.
Also, never apologise for using these boards. They are a safe space for you to gain support, ask questions and rant as much as you like. We are here for you.
Sending much love,
