Are contractions normal after cerclage?

I had a preventative cerclage fitted on the 8th of October after 3 preterm deliveries which got earlier n earlier, at 16 weeks my cervix was 2.8cm n then at 18 weeks it was 1.4cm so a cerclage was fitted at 19 weeks, all went well n spotting stopped yesterday (day after fitting) today I’ve been in agony with pain down my legs and my lower back aching, the past hour though I’ve been having semi regular contractions between 3-9 minutes, I can’t get hold of my local labor ward, they don’t seem to answer the phone. Are the contractions normal? I’m not losing any plug or leaking fluid, but I’m getting ready to go in just in case

Ectopic?

I got my first faint positive at 9dpo, I tested with the same strips everyday till 14dpo n the lines didn’t progress, I then got clearblues n tested everyday n I think they are getting lighter? Am I worrying for nothing? I’m achy but this is my 7th child so kinda expected 🤷🏻‍♀️
