Anyone who has suffered an ectopic i need your help and advice please.

[pepperpots]

I had a ruptured ectopic and salpinectomy 5 weeks and 2 days ago (sorry to sound precise) and although i had a period type bleed up until a week post op i have had nothing since. If i counted the first day of heavy bleeding as CD1 i would be CD36. Af is still a no show How long was it before your first AF? I have had no symptoms, the only thing is i have noticed i'm more 'gassy'
Any help or advice would be great as i am going out of my mind

did a search though and there are a few old threads link www.mumsnet.com/Talk?topicid=1367&threadid=204638#4173674) which might have some answers

Hi Pepperpots,

I have had 2 ectopic pregnancies, one which didn't rupture and one which did. After my first ectopic my period returned after 28 days whereas after my second, I think it took about 6-7 weeks until my period returned. I believe it is normal for it to take around 10 weeks for your periods to return.
Hope this helps

Sorry, should have added, did you have a laproscopy as this would explain the gas?

Hi I had my last ectopic on 14th Oct and only came on this weekend, if thats any help, do go here www.ectopic.org.uk/phpbb/index.php as they are so helpful and the person on the phone is lovely. Sorry to hear of your loss it's horrid isn't it.

how are you now pepperpots?

Hi Lissie

I'm doing much better now, AF arrived 16/12 finally and seems everything is back to normal. Scar is a little sore now and again but apart from that i'm good. How about you?

im good thanks. do try to take things slowly, you've been through a lot. come and join cedar and i on the ttc afterep thread when you feel ready. when is your follow up?

I was never offered a follow up as I had a full salpinectomy (full tubal removal) there was no point . I am although in dispute with the hospital in which as i was treated so this doesn't bode well for them. I do although feel much better and I have healed extremley quickly so this is a good thing. I think i will be joining ttc after ectopic shortly, i wasn't sure if it was still going.

its still going, but most have graduated. they should have offered a follow up to discuss reduced fertility and any investigations into the quality of your remaining tube!
