Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Depends...: What kind of surgery did you have? A salpingostomy (opening of tube and removal of ectopic), or a salpingectomy (removal of ectopic and tube)? Also, the ectopic could be elsewhere besides the tube. Your surgeon should be able to give a "safe" range.
