How soon after surgical management did you start bleeding and get a negative pregnancy test?
How soon after surgical management did you start bleeding and get a negative pregnancy test?
Hello - I had surgical management almost a week ago now and bleeding hasn't yet started. If this is inevitable (which I understand it is) I want it to start asap. Thank you for sharing.

Re: How soon after surgical management did you start bleeding and get a negative pregnancy test?
Dear Anna,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
It is likely to depend upon how high your hCG levels were. Once the beta hCG levels (pregnancy hormones) in your body have dropped, the chemical signals to retain the thickened uterine lining that has built up in early pregnancy, are no longer being produced and so the lining of the uterus is shed. This is when the bleeding will start and it may be clotty, heavy, dark in appearance or appear just like one of your normal menstrual period bleeds.
I hope this helps, it can be unnerving, not knowing what is going on with our bodies, but if you are concerned at all, do not hesitate to seek medical advice,
Sending much love,
