Patient's question:
My period hasn't come, I took a pregnancy test and used a fertility ring. It's been almost a week since I had light vaginal bleeding, lower back pain, abdominal pain, and some nausea and vomiting. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was too early to see anything. They could only see that the ring was in the correct position. Am I at risk of an ectopic pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy is mostly related to threatened miscarriage. Overexertion and severe coughing may trigger it.Advice: Consider the possibility of an IUD pregnancy. Generally, it does not significantly affect fetal development. If you wish to continue, it is possible to proceed with pregnancy and monitor the condition during the gestation period. It is recommended to remove the IUD upon reaching full term.
