clot after ectopic pregnancy

On Saturday I went to er with excruciating stomach pain only to find out I had an left tubal ectopic pregnancy. I was rushed into a laparoscopic surgery. They did not have to remove the tube. The first few days I had a bit of spotting but then yesterday I started bleeding quite heavily (like a heavy period) and had really badpains like those of a period including back pain and leg pain. This morning 5 days after surgery, I had quite a large clot. I know this is disgusting but I examined it and it was not all blood. Some was like an off white to grey color. Is this normal? Should I go back to the hospital? Please can someone tell me if it's normal

Thank you for your response and kind words. I will get hold of my doctor. I hope and pray that neither of us have to go through these experiences again.

I'm really sorry you had to go through that.  I've had 3 m/c's, and what you describe does seem like something I went thru with one of mine; however, mine were not ectopic.  I thought with an ectopic they went in the tube and got everything out.  If it were me, I'd give my doctor or the hsp a call and let them know what's happened.  And if the bleeding is heavy enough to fill a pad in an hour then yes, you should definitely go to the hospital.  Again, I'm sorry for your loss and hope everything is okay.
