Hello,
Please do not worry. Small amount of fluid in the cul de sac is a normal finding and there is nothing to worry about. Around the time of ovulation, once the follicle ruptures some amount of fluid is released, this fluid goes to the most dependent part of the pelvis, cul de sac. It is infact a sign of ovulation along with rupture of a growing follicle. This fluid stays in the body for some time and then spontaneously gets absorbed.
Your periods are now every 21 days? well this is for how many cycles? Sometimes the periods may be delayed or preponed by a few days.
However you need to get yourself evaluated if this continously present for more than 3 cycles. Also keep in mind that stress and anxiety really can influence the frequency of the periods.
Hope this answers your questions.
Wish you Good Health.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,
Ectopic is when the pregnancy is outside the uterus.
In an ectopic pregnancy, a fertilized egg has implanted outside the uterus. The egg settles in the fallopian tubes in more than 95% of ectopic pregnancies. As the fetus grows, it will eventually burst the organ that contains it. This can cause severe bleeding and endanger the mother's life.
You might feel pain in your pelvis, abdomen, or, in extreme cases, even your shoulder or neck (if blood from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy builds up and irritates certain nerves). This is quite XXXXXXX .
You must immediately go and see a gynaecologist if your report has anything like ectopic. Also for your irregular periods you will need to get yourself examined by a gynaecologist who can then advise you appropriate blood tests.
Wishing you good health.

Hi and thanks again.
Considering that you had period every month though irregular, the chances of pregnancy is unlikely. I-pill when used early following unprotected sexual intercourse is usually effective in preventing pregnancy. So historically you do not seem to be pregnant.
Conclusive evidence can be obtained by tests alone.
You may consider getting the following test. This will rule out pregnancy (ectopic pregnancy)
1. Urine pregnancy test
2. Blood HCG levels
3. Repeat ultrasound examination - to look for products of conception
As far as irregular periods and presence of other symptoms are concerned, I encourage you to consult a gynecologist for physical examination and evaluation.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you good health
