What is the standard recovery time after surgery for an ectopic pregnancy?
I just found out yesterday that I have an ectopic pregnancy. I need to schedule surgery and make plans for my family and work. How long will it take for me to recover?

My friend went through this last year. She started coming back to work part time around 3-4 weeks after the surgery and then full time at the 6 weeks check up. The doctor should also give you some hormone medication to make everything even out gradually. I would not wish this on anyone. I am sooo sorry you are having to go through this! Take care.
This depends which one your doctor has recommended for you as there are two types :-
Laparoscopy which is known as keyhole surgery or day surgery and the patient can go home the same day but you need to rest for at least 3-7 days at home.
Laparotomy or open surgery is considered a major operation as a full incision is done and the hospital stay is about 3-4 days. Recovery would take about 10-14 days.
Again, this will depend on the individual’s health condition.
Get well soon^^
