I don't know if it's menstruation or an ectopic pregnancy.

Patient's question:

(last menstrual period was on August 10th), I'm about to have my period. On September 10th, I had sex with my boyfriend, and he ejaculated inside. That same night, I took emergency contraception. Three days later, I had sex with my boyfriend again and was worried about getting pregnant, so I took emergency contraception again. On September 17th, I ate barbecue. On September 18th, I had some bleeding, like my period was starting. On the morning of September 19th, my stomach hurt very badly, and I thought it was just a normal period (but I had pain down there), so I assumed it was a normal period and bought Motherwort oral at a pharmacy. By September 20th, the stomach pain had stopped.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: What kind of help do you need?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the situation you described, it is likely that what you are experiencing is equivalent to menstrual bleeding, not an ectopic pregnancy. Since you took emergency contraception after both sexual encounters and it is not the ovulation period according to your menstrual cycle, the possibility of pregnancy is low.
Recommendation: If you are still concerned, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a follow-up examination. Blood HCG and ultrasound tests can help confirm whether you are pregnant. Ectopic pregnancy is a gynecological condition that can easily occur. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery!
