I had some bleeding that i thought was my period but it was lighter than usual and i have a bit of one sided pain. Now im a little worried reading about ectopic stuff online. Planning to call my gynac but wanted to know if anyone had spotting like a period with it.
Bleeding can happen with ectopic but it's not a real period, and it can be dangerous. Please dont try to figure this out at home na. If you suspect it at all, get to your gynac or hospital fast.
In an ectopic you might have irregular bleeding that you mistake for a period, but it's not a normal period. This is serious, so please dont rely on bleeding to rule it out. If you have one sided pain, dizziness or odd bleeding, see your doctor or go to hospital right away.
My doctor explained that ectopic pregnancies can cause some bleeding that seems like a period, which is why they are tricky. A scan and blood test are the only way to confirm. If there's any suspicion, please get checked urgently, it cant wait.
