Patient's question:
The last menstrual period was on August 28th, September 30th, October 24th, and November 17th. However, this time, since November 17th, it has been irregular. An ultrasound did not show intrauterine pregnancy. There is no abdominal pain. What is the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy, and how can it be confirmed? I live, but I don’t know which hospital would be better to go to. I am looking for the following help: I got an IUD inserted last June. The recent menstrual periods have been on August 28th, September 30th, October 24th, and November 17th. However, this time, since November 17th, it has been irregular. An ultrasound did not show intrauterine pregnancy. There is no abdominal pain. What is the likelihood of an ectopic pregnancy, and how can it be confirmed? I live, but I don’t know which hospital would be better to go to.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is still not clear whether you are pregnant! It is also not clear whether it is an ectopic pregnancy! Based on your menstrual cycle, there is no major issue, but since you have an IUD, the chances of getting pregnant are much lower! If your period is delayed this month, I suggest doing an ultrasound after one week of delay to confirm whether you are pregnant or if it is an ectopic pregnancy! Don't worry too much, and when the time comes, go to a local regular professional hospital for relevant tests to confirm!
