Is this my cycle resuming after surgery for ectopic?

I had emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic on 25th May. Three weeks after the surgery I had ECWM - would this indicate that I ovulated and that my period will be due roughly two weeks after that?

Just wondering when to expect my next period given that it may apparently be heavier than usual.

Just posting to give you a bump. What’s an ECWM?

Thank you, it is egg white cervical mucus which is normally around ovulation time. Just noticed I got the letters mixed up 🤦‍♀️

I think they say it isn’t but I personally felt that the first bleed after my ectopic surgery was a proper period and I had all the evidence of ovulation 14 days later. If you’re TTC, we had a successful pregnancy third cycle after surgery to remove 1 fallopian tube. I’m sorry for your loss, it’s really sad isn’t it.

@ToThineOwnSelfthank you for explaining. Mine was so long ago I can’t remember anything about next bleed/ period. @Attenboroughsmistressraised TTC, I was fortunate to have my son the next year.
