First period/random spotting after surgery
First period/random spotting after surgery
I had surgery on the 4th May to remove ectopic and lost my right Fallopian tube. I bled for a week or so, and then it stopped. I seem to be healing pretty well (although still have stitches poking out of me - when will they fall out!?). I’ve also done a pregnancy test which confirmed negative (got a v faint positive after 2 weeks and a negative a few days later).
I know periods can take a while to settle down/come back. I have PCOS and irregular periods anyway. The last few days I’ve been having a bit of brown spotting. I know brown is old blood, so could this just be blood leftover from the ectopic... or could it be spotting like the start of a period? Did anyone else experience spotting randomly after the main bleeding had stopped?

Re: First period/random spotting after surgery
So my op was 4weeks ago - I only bled for a few days after & not really a lot.
Past 3 days I have been spotting with brown blood aswell.
I don’t know how long it will take for an actual period now - I’m kinda hoping I never have one again cos it will be another milestone to remember of the loss but I no it doesn’t work like that .
