When ectopic pregnancy bleeding occurs is it anything similar to a period? How long does it start after a missed period? How long does it last? How can I tell the difference?

Hi Anonymous,
You know that you had a missed period if you do not get your period for that month. You take a pregnancy test. If the result is positive, you know that your are pregnant.
If you know that you are pregnant, and begin to have bleeding with pain, you contact your obstetrician/gynecologist. You may need to go to the emergency room because an ectopic pregnancy may be suspected.
If you have bleeding when your period is due and no pain, you can assume this is your period and not ectopic pregnancy bleeding.
By the way, are you concerned that you are having ectopic pregnancy bleeding? What are your symptoms? You could always contact your personal gynecologist.

I had HSG 2nd of this month. Right fallopian tube blockage. I am 7 days late. But I am experiencing mild cramping in my left abdomen. Haven't gone for the home pregnancy test. Is it a late period, or a normal pregnancy or ectopic? Please guide.

I had my period from July 5th-9th.
I had unprotected sex on July 12th.
And took (4 birth control pills) on July 15th.
I didn't have a plan b but learned via google.
Plan b= high dosage of birth control pills (took 4)
I got my period again From July 19th -22nd
Then it returned on august 4th-7th
I've been getting my period every other week..
Bi-weekly and this has NEVER happened before
I wasn't on birth control and happened to have some laying around the house when I used it as emergency contraception
Is bi-weekly periods or more frequent periods a result of plan b?
August 7, 2017 - 3:04pmIs this normal?
Should I go to emergency room?
