ok you were lucky if that helps
Lap surgery is not so bad, I take it you have a belly button wound and another small one in your tummy?
I'd give yourself one cycle to recover yourself physically, then another to make sure your cycle is regular. Then after that you should be ok.
My periods were really irregular after my ectopic - I had the really nasty open stomach surgery. Glad you did not have to have that honey xx

im so sorry to hear that. hope your doing ok now. yes i have a horrible nasty scar around my belly button and then 1 at each of my sides around about where my ovaries are.

is it normal to one minute feel happy and think ive got over my loss and then the next minute be in tears?

my emotions are all over the place at the moment. i really do want another baby but i am so scared that if i try again too soon, it will all end the same way. xxx
