I think I might be pregnant. My period has been delayed for half a month and I haven't come yet. Also, I feel very sleepy and a bit loss of appetite. But there's some bleeding down there and my lower abdomen also hurts a bit. I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said it was an ectopic pregnancy. I can't believe it. Please ask: What are some symptoms of ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
