Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
Prgnancy symotoms widely between women, and it is true that symptoms of ectopic
pregnancy can include spotting and pain on one side.
However, the key point is that these symptoms of ectopic pregnancy are only relevant along with a positive pregnancy test.
If your pregnancy test is negative, then you do not have an ectopic pregnancy.
You had mentioned that your cycles are normally very irregular, so it is certainly not unusual to have irregular
hormonal symptoms as well when your period is late.
The
stress of worrying about pregnancy can even delay your cycle further, so I hope that you find this information to be reassuring.
I hope I was able to answer your question today and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
