A member asked:
If a woman's egg is fertilized by a sperm and it doesn't reach the womb, there will be still menstruation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If an egg is fertilized and not implanted in the uterus; it results in what we call an ectopic pregnancy.This could be life threatening,this is usually tubal and occasionally ovarian or abdominal.In any case menstruTion still would not occur.There maybe some abnormal bleeding
