Question 2

how likely is it to get pregnant after an ectopic preg surgery before having a single period? i had unprotected sex twice 2 weeks after surgery

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You are not likely to get pregnant two weeks after surgery to remove an ectopic pregnancy.  It takes awhile for your body to re-boot and start ovulating again.  However, you can get pregnant before you have your first period.  Never a good idea to play Russian Roulette with intercourse.  Best wishes.

Question 8

is it normal for 7 months later after surgery of diverticulitis to still be queasy and upset stomach? no fever or vomiting.

NOT REALLY: There's no reason for a post colectomy patient to have nausea or dyspepsia, related to the surgery.  I'm assuming you are no longer taking post operative pain medicine. Speak to your doctor. In the meantime , focus on a healthy diet with good hydration. Good luck.
