I had an ectopic pregnancy in 1978. I don't recall that my periods were any heavier afterward. I had two full term pregnancies afterward and I remember that the post partum bleeding was heavy and long.
I'd check with the doctor for your own piece of mind. It should be part of the follow up anyway!
I have had bleeding issues for the last several years as I approach menopause. In the last year, I've had real issues with quantity, length of the flow period, and length of my cycle. It turned out that a round of estrogen and progesterone put things back to rights.
Depending upon your age and depending upon how far along you were in the pregnancy, your body's reaction will probably vary.
BTW, my ectopic was also on the left and due to an IUD I was using at the time. It's no longer on the market because one of the bad side effects was ectopic pregnancy especially ovarian pregnancies. Mine was in the tube and took eight weeks to diagnose. I was sent from one ER to different ER because the second had a new ultrasound machine since they were the primary birthing hospital in the town. My case is one where the ultrasound was a lifesaver and it was new technology at the time.
My OBGYN was also allowed to smoke a big stogie in the exam room with me while he and the radiologist pondered over the sonogram.
