How long does it take for a woman to get her period after a natural miscarriage of an ectopic pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Ectopic pregnancy naturally miscarried, it's been two months and she hasn't had her period yet. How long does it take for a period to come back after a natural ectopic pregnancy miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Dear, after a natural miscarriage of an ectopic pregnancy, the menstrual cycle typically returns to normal within about half a month. Usually, menstruation will resume again after about a month. If you haven’t had your period for two months, please check to see if there’s a possibility of pregnancy again. Additionally, carefully review a gynecological MRI and the six female hormone tests to see if there are any other gynecological conditions. If other diseases are ruled out and there’s no pregnancy, you might consider taking progesterone for 7 days and then stopping the medication to help induce menstruation.
