Re: Bleeding after ectopic surgery !!!
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss.
Bleeding following surgery is quite normal and It is not unusual for women to bleed after treatment for ectopic pregnancy.
This first bleed after treatment is a response to falling hormone levels and involves shedding of the uterine lining, as sadly you are no longer pregnant and is not classed as a period. The length of the bleeding can vary from woman to woman and some women do report spotting and bleeding for up to around six weeks after an ectopic pregnancy.
While this is usually nothing to worry about, if you find that the bleeding increases so that you are soaking more than a pad in an hour or have offensive smelling discharge or body temperature of more than 37°C, please do get medical attention.
We are all here for you, please continue to use the forums for as long as you need,
Sending much love,
Karen x

Re: Bleeding after ectopic surgery !!!
I am still feeling anxious though. Had surgery on 30th dec and left tube removed. Very irregular bleeding since. One bleed four days post surgery for 8 days, then 10 days later a light 3 day bleed,then 17 days after that another 3 days bleed. That finished 4 days ago and now I am spotting again. No pain or discomfort. Just want to get back to normal and this certainly isn't it. Has anyone experienced anything similar or can provide any reassurance. Thank you x
