Periods after ectopic

Hi All,

I’m new to this site. I had my first ectopic in November and had my right tube removed .

Since the operation I have had one period which came 6 weeks after surgery. I’m now waiting for my next period to arrive and it is late. Before the ectopic I had regular periods, I’m currently 7 days late and wanted to know if this is normal or if my periods should be returning to normal. I have done a pregnamncy test and I got a negative result. I’m feeling quite down at the moment as I was waiting for the 2nd period to arrive so that we could start to conceive again.

I’d like to hear from others women’s experiences if your periods went back to normal or not and if I should be concerend?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi there, I had ectopic 8 wks ago and have had 2 periods since. The first 28 days after op to remove tube and the 2nd 21 days later. Both ridiculously heavy. Before op periods were always regular and not too heavy just painful due to endometriosis. Hope they will get back to normal soon.

Thanks for replying Louise. How are you feeling since the surgery? Are you back to trying to conceive again?

I was feeling so much better and positive after the first period and now I’m just worrying about what’s going on and why they aren’t returning as I would have hoped.

Hi Sunshine

Sorry to here about your experience of an EP . How are you feeling ? has your period arrived? I had my EP 2 December got my first period 30 th december which would make it 4weeks I’m hoping my second period will come 31st jan so we can ttc in Feb.

Sending lots of positive vibes xxx

Hi ladies,

I had my EP just under 15 months ago and lost my left tube, before my period was as regular as clockwork. And ever since my EP it has been all over the place. Sometimes two periods a month and other times I can be waiting upto 90 days for it to arrive.

It’s hard work esp when trying to conceive. All I can say is don’t be down over it, keep your chin up and keep trying

Hi Daffodils,

My period came in the end so I feel much better about that now. We are going to start TTC from now. I’m not going to do any ovulation tests this time as that just seem to cause me stress the first time round.

I’m trying to be as positive as possible and just hope for the best.

How are you feeling?

Hi Sunshine, I am still trying to understand exactly what happened to me. My body won’t let me forget with cramps,discharge,backache and discomfort all month.

have hospital app next week to discuss fertility options, first step is getting my remaining tube tested.

Just want to get back to normal and try again.

How are you, hope u ok?

Hi Loucom47,

I’m sorry to hear that your not feeling very well. Can I ask why they are already testing your other tube? I have been told that I will need to try ttc for at leats 6 months before they would rest my other tube. Are you also looking for other fertility options as you have been trying for a while? I’m just interested as I have just been told to try and see what happens. My concern was that my other tube could be blocked but as I said they won’t do any tests just yet.

Hi, I suffer from stage 4 severe endometriosis and some years back was told both tubes were blocked and we would not be able to have kids naturally. However I conceived my son naturally (our little miracle we call him) so i now want to know if my left tube is actually blocked or not.

I only have my appointment at moment to discuss options with them and they may well turn round and say they wont test it yet. Will have to wait and see. Desperate to start trying again if we can but my left tube is badly scarred on outside from endo so I am at higher risk of another ectopic. My head is spinning at moment with what to do. Aaargh!

Hi,

I’m sory to hear that, it makes sense for them to test your other tube then. Hopefully the other tube is open so that you can go on and conceive naturally. I can imagine how you must be feeling, it’s such a stressful and emotional time. I’m trying my best to be as positive as I can be at the moment and hope for the best I guess. I hope that your apt goes well. Sending positive vibes your way.
