Is there a possibility of ectopic pregnancy if the menstrual cycle is irregular and the pregnancy test is negative?

Patient's question:

If there is no sexual activity but menstruation started on February 23, it has been delayed by five or six days. The amount of leukorrhea has increased. On February 26 and 27, I took tests, but both were negative. After another delay of about seven or eight days, I took another test, which was also negative. On the 4th or 5th of this month, I took a test, which was also negative, but my period hasn't come for a month since August 12th. After that date, I haven't had any sexual activity.

Doctor's answer:

Previously, there was a time of cohabitation, but medication was taken, which can affect breastfeeding. Now that your period hasn't arrived again, it is likely caused by medication-induced menstrual irregularities. Generally, if your period doesn't come for less than 7 days, you can use a pregnancy test to determine if you are pregnant. Even if it is an ectopic pregnancy, it can still be detected. So, if your test is negative and your period hasn't arrived, it means you are not pregnant—it is just menstrual irregularities caused by medication. You don't need to take any medication. Rest and wait for the medication to wear off, and your period should return to normal.
