I have always heard that you bleed some during the whole tubal pregnancy. Is that correct? Or do you start bleeding when the tube ruptures?

Usually you don't bleed during the whole pregnancy. Some women with ectopics don't bleed at all, but they simply develop pain.
But bleeding can occur. Bleeding can happen at any time, just as in regular pregnancy. (25% of normal pregnancies have spotting or bleeding.)
Frequently the bleeding is due to poor progesterone support. Most tubal pregnancies aren't at great risk for rupture until 6 weeks after your last menstrual period. A ruptured ectopic is a surgical emergency and is the No.1 cause of maternal death in the first trimester.
If this is a concern for you, you should get an ultrasound at 5-6 weeks. At this point, the pregnancy can be seen in the uterus.
Assuming that you were not using fertility medications, if there is a pregnancy in the uterus there is only a 1/30,000 chance of there also being one in the tube.
Good luck.

Usually there will be a bit of brown blood. This is confusing because brown blood can be normal, a sign of miscarriage, or a sign of tubal so there's no way to know for sure. If you think you are having a tubal pregnancy, don't wait until you are bleeding. You will lose one of your tubes, or worse yet...die.

A molar pregnancy may start off like a normal pregnancy. Then, around the 10th week of pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, which often is dark brown in color

I had a molar pregnancy and never bleed, I found out just when I had the ultrasound and I was 5 months the next day I had a surgery to get rid of it....it could have been cancer if the doctor didnt noticed it.

I believe it's when it ruptures. In which case you may be dead. So if you think that you have an atopic pregnancy GO TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT F-ING NOW!!!!!
