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.

Answered on 23rd May '24
The ovaries may or may not have been removed after a hysterectomy-an operation in which the uterus is taken out but it depends on what type of this procedure was.

The particulars vary, depending on the surgical approach and specific patient factors talked about by a health care professional with the deciding individual.
