I had surgery and tube removal 10 weeks ago, a week before that I was treated with one dose of Methotrexate. I still haven’t had a period, but no one seems to be able to shed any light for me on whether that’s normal or not and when I should be concerned…. Did anyone else experience anything similar?
Hi Camo13,
I’m so sorry to hear that you have had to suffer an ectopic pregnancy and loss. Many women find changes in their periods following treatment for ectopic pregnancy.
In regards to resuming a period, there can be considerable variation between women. Your periods can take a while to re-establish and they can re-start anything between two and ten weeks after treatment. Broadly speaking, doctors consider menstrual (period) cycles of between 23 to 42 days to be within normal parameters.
I’m not medically qualified and cannot comment on your specific situation. While it may be the case that your period will take a bit longer to return, as the first day of your last period was more than 42 days ago, it is important to make an appointment with your doctor to discuss the possible reasons for this.
With good wishes,
Michele
