Hi there,
I am just wondering if anyone else has suffered complications after a rupture and fallopian tube removal? I was unfortunately back in hospital two weeks after my first surgery with blood clots connecting my bowels and an infection. I had to have another surgery which ended up being an open surgery to remove the blood clots and repair my bowels.
I was told that there maybe some chance that the scar tissue from the operation can cause difficulty with conception and also I was advised to have the implant put in as contraceptive for the next 6 months to allow my body to heal properly.
I am worried that I won’t know if my body is back to normal until I am off the implant and even more worried that I won’t be able to conceive naturally after all of this.
Looking for some hope and maybe someone else out there who has had a similar experience?
Thanks.
Dear RebeccaKaznoski,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss and the difficulty you have been through.
Unfortunately I am not medically trained, so cannot give you specific advice on the complications following your surgery.
Regarding contraception, I have added a link for leaflet regarding methods. I can recommend the Your Guide to Contraception leaflet as it discusses all methods available. You’ll see that under the section about implants, it does say that your periods and fertility will return to normal once it is removed, but this is also true for other methods. I would have a look at all methods and discuss your options with your GP.
