Thanks for your replies. It's encouraging to speak to other people who have experienced an ectopic - as much as friends and family have been very sympathetic, nobody that I know has gone through that experience and I think the loss is underestimated. And thanks for sharing your story Tegam, makes me feel better to know that people can conceive quickly after losing a tube.
Saw my GP today and she was very reassuring. She said it's very normal for my cycle to be all out of whack and to give it another few months to regulate - if it doesn't sort itself out by October then we'll look at the next step then. She's confident that the sore breasts, acne etc are just signs that AF is coming. I guess I just need to learn how my body signals that AF is due now that I'm off the pill. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I can see why you'd feel anxious about your future pregnancies.
Have you considered charting BBTs to track ovulation? That may help you better predict when AF is likely to arrive. If you're ovulating late as a result of your hormones still being out of whack since your pg, then at least you'll know when it's happening and that AF is due within 2 weeks(-ish) of ovulation.
Otherwise, I hope your cycles get back to normal soon.
Im so sorry to hear you have experienced an ectopic and loss of your tube. I also had an ectopic in January of 09 and lost my left tube....as Tegam said you have lost an organ as well as losing your angel its not easy and can be a long road both emotionally and physically. After my ectopic i went on the pill for 3 months (doctor's recommendation) and then was lucky enough to get pregnant 3 months after that and my DD2 was born in March 10. Give your body time to recover and hopefully your AF is just around the corner.
