If you know for sure that you are pregnant, it is probably not going to be your period, although some women have experienced a "first" period then learns a couple of weeks later that they really are pregnant. It is possible that it could be implantation bleeding caused by the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall. Or it could be a cervical change that can cause vaginal bleeding. Vaginal bleeding can also be a symptom of ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Another cause for bleeding during pregnancy is a miscarriage although the first two reasons for bleeding are more common, it is still a good idea to contact your doctor as soon as you can.

Why have you had spotting for 4 to 5 days after your ovulation day for the last 2 months on exactly the 14th day of your cycle and can you get pregnant then or is this like a period?

you can get pregnant and would not be a period, if the spotting more than light best to see your gynecologist - & don't forget about yearly pap smearsAnswerHello - Im really not sure what could be causing the bleeding. Spotting can be releated to pregnancy or UTI and some women have claimed to experience spotting when ovulating but Im really not sure myself.Because the spotting isn't your actual period then its still possible to get pregnant. As this spotting is abnormal for you, see your doctor for a investigation into the cause of your bleeding. Good luck.


Faint positive 3 days before start of period spotting day period was due next day had 1 day of moderate bleeding WA lot of dark brown blood at the end of the day is this implantation bleeding?

I had a negative test 3 days before period was due, then two days of spotting exactly like you describe on a Thursday and a Friday...on Saturday I got a positive test. I spotted through my entire first trimester and had a wonderful pregnancy. That baby just turned 2!! Wishing you luck!


You have been trying to get pregnant today you were supposed to get your period but only got some spotting you do have symptoms of a period coming the achy back etc could you still be pregnant?

I am in the exact same situation. I hope the following info will be useful: About 25% of all pregnant women have some bleeding or spotting in the first three months of pregnancy. Many women mistake this bleeding for their period and underestimate their due dates by a month or so. The question to ask yourself is "Is this bleeding exactly the same as my usual period? Is it at the same time of the month, the same number of days? am I using the same number of pads or tampons?" Again, the more regular your periods are, the more reliable a sign of pregnancy any noticed changes will be. Having said this, the bleeding you experienced does not necessarily mean you are not pregnant. At this stage, if you're about 2 weeks after ovulation, you can do a home pregnancy test and levels of HCG should show up.


Is having your period while pregnant a myth?

Not exactly. Some women have bleeding in the first month of two of pregnancy, but it is not technically a period. Also, if you have heavy bleeding during pregnancy, you might actually be having a miscarriage.


What exactly is spotting?

Spotting is when there is a minimal blood flow - not even a flow, but literally a few spots found in your underwear.


Is it normal for implantation blood to last up to 6 days?

I'm not certain if this is considered normal, but I had implantation bleeding that lasted exactly 6 days when I was pregnant with my son.


What exactly is normal spotting during your first trimester Like color and amount wise?

Spotting is a very light flow. It is something that may barely, or not even, fill a pantyliner throughout the course of the day (or couple of days for that matter). Spotting doesn't really include the loss of any tissue (shedding of the lining of the uterus). Usually it is a very light pink color, but it could also be bright red (new oxygenated blood) or more brown (old, deoxygenated blood). During pregnancy, any bleeding is referred to as vaginal bleeding. It has nothing to do with a period as pregnancy and periods cannot co-exist. Vaginal bleeding is caused by something other than your period and in this case it sounds more like implantation bleeding (if it is early in the pregnancy). However, any vaginal bleeding should be reported to your doctor as well as any detail you can provide regarding flow, color, any odors, frequency, and any other concurrent symptoms. Your doctor will want to evaluate it to determine a cause (though it is often difficult to determine an exact cause) and be sure that it is not something serious; although it is usually a very normal occurrence and means no harm.


Im spotting while im on the pill does this mean im ovualting and at risk of getting pregnant?

when i don't take it at almost exactly the same time everyday i start spotting but then it goes away when i do take it the same time ... my gyno also said it's natural to spot a week before you're period


Could you be pregnant This is exactly 4 weeks after your last menstruation and you are bleeding it's lighter and it's little but it feels like your normal menstruation husband feels it's abnormal.?

If you feel it's normal I think your husband is wishful thinking. I doubt if you are pregnant.


Is light red or brown spotting with no cramping normal for 6 wks pregnant?

I have had spotting with all three of my pregnancies and the doctor always told me that if the spotting is bright red you need to call your doctor and be checked out. It may be fine but often they prescribe bedrest until it stops or do some testing to make sure the baby is still thriving. A call to your doctor would be wise and give you some peace of mind.


I started spotting according to my calculations at 9 weeks pregnant but when i went to the dr. i was told that i was 6 weeks with a sac and yolk but no heartbeat is my baby growing?

I am going through exactly the same thing, I started spotting and went into the Dr. I am 9 weeks preggy, unless my dates are wrong and the baby only measured 6 weeks 1 day with no heartbeat i have to go back in on friday, i am still spotting has this happened to anyone before what was the outcome?


What is spotting and if you are pregnant and spotting what colour is it usually and how long does it go on for and how many days?

Spotting is exactly what it sounds like... it is literally (instead of bleeding in a flow or constant like most women) it is getting a little blood here or there... it could be spotting a little each day or stretched out over a long period of time... but instead of getting your normal period in a normal flow and it lasting your normal time it just does whatever it wants basically... Spotting is blood... so if you see anything resembling blood and you are pregnant you should talk to you healthcare provider right away... it could be harmless as was my best friend's ... she spotted throughout her first 3 months and although we worried she was fine and her Dr. kept telling us she was... As a matter of fact she is due soon and has an induction date of July 27th... so she has carried to term with no complications and the baby is fine .... On the flip side it could also be signs of a non-viable pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy, or even miscarriage... Tell your Dr. right away.... if for any extenuous reason you cannot get into see your Dr. right away keep a log .... write down exactly what is does... when, how much, what you had been doing previously, smells, etc.Good luck...Greenidparalegal
