Patient's question:
After taking birth control pills, my period came about half a month ago. My nipples are swollen and painful, and my lower abdomen also hurts. Could it be an ectopic pregnancy? I took birth control pills with my boyfriend on the 14th, and he took them on the 15th. My period started on the 16th and has been ongoing for 10 days now, with no flow. Every time I go to the bathroom, there's some blood on my pants, and my lower abdomen hurts intermittently. My nipples are swollen and painful, and my breasts have also grown, feeling like I'm pregnant. Could these symptoms possibly be an ectopic pregnancy?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Assistance needed: I'm aware of this, but could you explain it to me? I don't understand.
