Depends: If your pregnancy test is negative, it is not an ectopic pregnancy. Anxiety can affect your cycles.

Take a pregnancy: Test. If you have an ectopic it would be positive. See your doc, get tested for cervical infection and consider the birth control pill. The anxiety will make you focus on worst case scenarios and can scare you out of reasonable treatment. Good luck.
