First period after ectopic surgery
First period after ectopic surgery
It’s a lot heavier and I’m getting a lot more cramping than I normally would but I’ve read that’s normal.
I’ve also noticed huge clots passing with this period and I’m just wondering if this is normal?

Re: First period after ectopic surgery
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
Yes, this can be very normal for your first period. The first period following ectopic pregnancy may be more painful or less so than usual, heavier or lighter, last for longer or shorter than usual – there really is no set pattern. You should be able to manage the discomfort with over-the-counter pain relief and should not be soaking a pad in less than an hour. If this is not the case, you should seek medical attention.
