Depend: depend first if it was ruptured with bleeding or not ,if it did and you are anemic it is going to take 2-3 months to build up strength and able to feel normal again. if not they were able to reach the ectopic before it ruptured, then the recovery from surgery is 3-4 weeks, to allow wound to heal and your body to gain strength from general anesthesia.
