A member asked:

I had a ectopic pregnancy and had surgery one week ago to remove my tube. i've stopped bleeding and feel healed. is it too early to resume sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too early: Yes, it's too early to resume intercourse after 1 week postoperative treatment for an ectopic pregnancy. Your body needs time to heal, at least 4 weeks. You also should use protection unless a pregnancy is wanted. If so, you can try to conceive after one normal cycle.

Hi, I underwent ectopic pregnancy surgery around 50 days ago (Aug 5th). The tube was retained since it was unruptured. After that I had a little bleeding for almost 10 days. When to expect my next period, it's almost 50 days.
