A member asked:

I'm trying to conceive.having bright red spotting a week before my period wd never experienced rectal pain.pls help!is this ectopic pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: It is probably not an ectopic pregnancy as symptoms usually appear if at all 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy. A GYN MD can sort out the rectal pain and early bleeding for you with an appointment.
