Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on November 14th, had intercourse on the 22nd, and took an emergency contraceptive pill (levonorgestrel) on the 23rd. On the 29th, I had another menstrual period, but it was light in flow, and it has been ongoing for 8 days now without stopping, whereas my usual period lasts only 5 days. I would like to ask if there could be a possibility of an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
