Period after Ectopic Surgery

I just got my first period after having my right tube removed due to an ectopic. This is like no other period I have ever had.  I have sharp pain where my surgery was and am going through at least a pad an hour.  I am also passing alot of clots. My periods have always been very light so maybe I'm just not used to this.  Does anyone know if this is normal for having surgery last month? I am exactly 28 days from my surgery.

Anytime you are going through a pad an hour you need to contact your doctor. Thats a lot of blood to be loosing. Dont worry but do call them.
