I had a af in June 27 2010 but not one in July 2010, Aug 1st is when i felt was a af that lasted for 5-6 days. Two day after af i had some clear discharge and some pulling on right side.

I'm usually 32 days and af last about 5-6 day. Help need answers
I'm having light pink bleeding
AnswerHello Dameil from the U.S.,
First, despite my being on the internet and answering lots of questions from around the world, I am afraid that I have to admit that I don't know what "af" means.
Even light bleeding could mean a period, but it could mean other things as well, like an early pregnancy or ectopic. You would need an exam and further testing to figure this out.
Secondly, despite what your doc said about your good tube, ectopics are caused by a previous infection or bacteria that infects and causes scar tissue within the tube. Your doc does not have the ability to look into the tube because it is too small. I would assume that if one tube is affected, the other tube is affected internally as well. As a result of this thinking, you would be at high risk of another ectopic or not getting pregnant because the tube is not functioning normally. In these types of cases, I recommend proceeding to IVF with my patients.
You are right that the Lord is a kind, gentle, caring and special Lord. He does provide in many ways. One way is that he has allowed us the knowledge to help one another. That is what I do. I am an instrument of the Lord, although I have seen many miracles happen without my help. But, in the end, the way the Lord is going to help you is by getting you to see a specialist like me, who can then use the knowledge the Lord provides to help you.
Good Luck and God Bless,
