How to distinguish between menstruation and ectopic pregnancy

Patient's question:

On December 25th, my period had already ended. On the 28th, I took emergency contraception. On the 31st, I had intercourse during ovulation without ejaculation. On January 1st, I experienced withdrawal bleeding. By the 6th, it had ended. On January 26th, I had my first breakthrough bleeding, which ended by the 30th. On February 23rd, I had my second breakthrough bleeding—is it my period?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it may be menstrual disorders caused by taking emergency contraception. It is recommended that you do not worry too much, as menstrual disorders caused by taking emergency contraception usually recover completely within about 1-3 months. In addition, during the treatment of ectopic pregnancy, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of ectopic pregnancy.
