I have had two periods since my left fallopian tube was removed and I’ve been very sick during ovulation 14 days after my periods… all the early signs of pregancy actually. (Nausea, dizziness, foggy brain, cramping but in a different way, headaches, body aches) .just genuinely ill feeling. Please tell me this will get better??
Hi Bld1,
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve suffered an ectopic pregnancy and loss. Your surgery is still quite recent, and it is incredibly important to look after yourself and allow time for yourself to heal both physically and emotionally.
Many women experience changes to their menstrual cycles after an ectopic pregnancy and it can take some time to settle back into a rhythm that is more usual for you. Periods can be heavier or lighter or more painful than before - as we are so individual there isn’t necessarily a set pattern. Doctors consider menstrual cycles of between 23-42 days to be within normal parameters and, if you find that you are not within these sorts of timeframes, it would be a good idea to speak to your doctors just to be on the safe side.
As I’m not medically qualified, I would recommend making a list of questions to take to your follow up appointment. As well, if you have immediate concerns you can always speak with your doctor sooner for peace of mind.
With good wishes,
Michele
