Tegam sorry you have experienced the pain of ectopic pregnancy.
It was a good 5-6weeks before I felt better physically. Emotionally 6months on I am still a mess and part of that at the moment I don't feel will every leave but alot happened at that time not just loosing a baby and my tube. I was treated terribly by the staff many in which I had worked with on a professional level for many years. My surgery wasn't straight forward either. It was suppose to take an hr but took 3.5hours and then in recovery in theatre was suppose to be 1hr but was another 4 so my surgery and initial recovery was also out of the norm.
I didn't return to work for over 5weeks just before 6weeks. I had another lap 11weeks on from my ectopic surgery and was back at work 5days later. The lap was nothing in comparison to the ectopic surgery. Usually any lap will cause you to loose the lining of the uterus shortly after the procedure but if you had bleeding prior to the ectopic been diagnosed then maybe thats why you haven't had any bleeding. I had 8days of bleeding then the ectopic was diagnosed about a week after the bleeding ceased and I did bleeding again heavily 3days after the lap for another 10days. I did have spotting as soon as I had the lap for the first 3days before it came in heavily.
My AF returned about 5weeks later (which is the normal duration for me beftween AF's) and I did ovulate less the 3weeks after my surgery. I was sure I did and an ultrasound confirmed it 3weeks after my ectopic surgery. Often they say you will miss ovulation that month but I didn't and most people I have spoken to who have been through the same thing also have (not that we were ttc so soon after the surgery)
My bowels were disgusting which is why I had another scan as they were concerned I had an abcess. But I was passing fatty coloured stuff out the back way. Turns out it was the antibiotics I had that killed off all the natural stuff inside the bowel. It was so gross and made me feel so unwell.
