How To Confirm Pregnancy?
38 yr old female. Heavy vaginal bleeding beginning on day 15 of cycle. (Never happens) Started two days ago. That night pain began under right rib cage. Had tubal ligation after third C section three years ago. Are these symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
It could be ectopic pregnancy as tubal ligation can increase the cahnce of ectopic pregnancy.
Only confirmation of ectopic pregnancy is the USG scan.
Consult the gynecologist and undergoes USG scan.
other cause like hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, ovarian cyst should be rule out.
take ibuprofen for pain and take rest.
hope this may help you
best regards
