Dear Mclaire, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Most people find their period arrives around 4-6 weeks after treatment for ectopic pregnancy.

Dear treezle, I am so sorry to hear of the worrying time you are going through. With a negative urine hCG, I would suggest speaking to your GP or EPU about the possibility of doing a blood test to measure hCG. This is extremely accurate, so if it is negative, you can be sure that you are not having ...

Dear Lau, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, I think this would depend upon individual hospital policies, however as most people who experience ectopic pregnancy are generally young and fit, I do not think.it's common place to have clexane after surgery.
