Yes bleeding is completely normal as your uterus lining will shed. With ectopic you get a thickened lining but not like you would with a uterine pregnancy as the beginnings of the placenta develops in your tube also so you usually wont get all the tissue passing like you would get in a m/c.

I was on my ipod so couldn't keep writing.

As for pain relief I used nurofen and panadol. I am allergic to codeine so couldn't have anything stronger prescribed. I had pain relief for the first week and then 3weeks later for another week. I was also on large doses of antibiotics for 3weeks which is what they think contributed to my bowel abcess which became a problem 3weeks post surgery (that was horrific) The abcess definately slowed my physical recovery down substancially.

I was really surprised to ovulate so quickly after the surgery (day 17 and it was confirmed on day21 when I had a scan on the abcess. I normally ovulated on day17 anyway so was surprised my normal cycle returned so quickly)

Not that you asked about this but I couldn't DTD with DH until 1month post surgery and when I finally did I bawled my eyes out and was completely shocked about how it made me feel. I think we even stopped without finishing if that makes sense. We had been ttc for close to 18months and to finally have to prevent and still not have a baby or feel close to getting one was really awful. I have always had a high drive in that area and it took several months to feel ok about doing it again (although I made myself) but during the act was not something I enjoyed. That was really hard on our relationship as that's an area that's really important to me.

After my 2nd surgery we start ttc again straight away at the Drs orders (to make the most use out of his handy work with repairing my remaining tube) he said if we didn't conceive within 6months to try IVF which we were very keen to do. When 6months came around I still wasn't pregnant but by the time we had appointments (allowing for waiting times for appointments) it was 9months of ttc. On the next cycle (10months or 10cycles post 2nd surgery) we conceived our youngest DD naturally the very cycle before our first stim cycle. We were very very lucky as the FS almost put me on the pill for that cycle but decided not to.
