does withdrawal bleeding means no pregnancy
Does withdrawal bleeding rule out any type of pregnancy, including ectopic pregnancy? Had no sex for last 3 months. Had withdrawal bleeding twice in the meantime. The flow was medium, lasted for 3 days, no cramping or pain.

The so-called withdrawal bleeding which is common when someone stops the use of hormonal contraceptives cannot be relied upon to confirm if one was pregnant because it may also occur even when a person had conceived. Although no sexual act for a while reduces the chances of being pregnant, it does not eliminate them fully. Ectopic pregnancies are relatively uncommon but may occur symptomless, so it is the reason to focus on multiple factors in every case medical history and overall health. If you worry about pregnancy or have abnormal symptoms, it is recommended to visit a doctor and receive customized advice on what tests are required.
