This next month we were going to start ttc again as it will be six months since my tube removal after cornual ectopic. my cycles went back to normal since my surgery in Oct and I’ve had three cycles (about 35 days, ovulation on 17/18)
then all of a sudden this month, (my fourth cycle since surgery) I ovulated a week earlier than I have been the past few months and I started cramping and spotting. I’ve never cramped and spotted during ovulation before OR even after my ectopic, until this month. What is going on?? I’m so confused why this has happened all of a sudden. Is cramping and spotting during ovulation something to worry about?? And now I’m concerned bc my cycle is shorter this month. I thought everything was back to normal since December and now I’m confused why it changed all of a sudden this month. Any advice?
Hi Eport1985,
I’m sorry you are going through such a worrying time. As I’m not medically qualified, I am not able to comment on your particular situation. It can be the case that periods change following ectopic pregnancies, as they can also change due to stress or changes to eating. However, as you have said they have been consistent until this month. If you have not, you may want to take a pregnancy test. I also always recommend checking in with your GP as it is causing you concern and for peace of mind.
With good wishes,
Michele

Hi, I am have the same problems. I suffered a ectopic pregnancy in February . My periods went back to there normal cycle (28days) and me and my partner started trying again in April. However my June and July cycle have now gone to every 21 days?! Is this normal? It just worries me as it’s hard for me to track when I am ovulating . Any advice would be appreciated
Hi, I am the same!! Its so frustrating, I had 3 “normal” cycles and the last 2 I have had early spotting, 2 days bleed then spotting again! Worried that my cycle is not “normal” which will add to the difficulty of conceiving. Any advice would be greatly appreciated also
