I had an ectopic pregnancy last year December. My periods became regular again, although it comes 26-27 days instead of 28-30. But my periods became extremely light. It is getting lighter in every month. I am 43 and I have PCOS. Can it be a sign of climax? Or is it because of the ectopic? Does it mean that I am less fertile? Should I call my o.b.? When I had my ectopic, I had some very light bleeding for 2 days instead of my period. So now I also thought that I might be pregnant, which would be great, but I tested negative:-( Am I crazy that I do pregnancy tests every month?
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Your periods can take a while to get back to a rhythm that is more usual for you. I also found that my periods changed for a few months after my losses. Sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your periods so I would advise talking to your doctor if you are concerned.
Sending much love,

I suffered an EP last July and needed surgery. For the past 9 months I have been monitoring my cycle to try and work out when I may ovulate. My cycles are never there same there usually between 28-30 day cycles.
I have recently noticed that my cycles has changed. I now find that I start spotting the day before my period is due. They also use to last 5 days but now it’s only 3. I keep getting negative ovulation tests and I’m worried I may not be ovulating and starting to think that maybe this is why there shorter.
I will keep monitoring and will then consider seeing my GP.
I was spotting for 4 days when I posted my question, now after four days I had some extremely heavy bleeding for 3 days, my cycles are crazy. I also bought ovulation tests, but I feel that I am not ready emotionally for a pregnancy, so I just keep the tests in the closet…I am frightened of the possibility of another loss, I think:-(
