Do Nausea, Lower Back Pain And Spotting Instead Of Periods Suggest Pregnancy?
Question: Hello,
I am due for my period tomorrow but started spotting 3 days ago. the spotting was very light and only really when i whipped the first two days and today, it's a lil heavy but definitely not a period flow. i just traveled on vacation 5 days ago (flying) and have been in a lot if oceans, water and hot tubs. does that stop the flow from coming or travel? i am sexually active and have not used protection with my boyfriend (im also not on the pill for mental health reasons). he nevet ejaculates inside of me and i've never gotten pregnant before. i do kinda have slight septated uterus as well. this morning i woke up naueous as ever and vomitted a lil. it could be from food here or maybe something else? i don't drink alcohol also. can this be just a weird period? would i be pregnant now? can a flow stop due to water and travel? i have horrible lower back pain too and some crampin like my normal period but it's not flowing at all like one?

Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concern and anxiety related to the same.
This flow pattern and symptoms of nausea and period like cramping can be due to early pregnancy which is manifesting implantation bleeding now.
Or it can just be due to the stress and disturbed sleep and eating schedule while on trip.
So best method of differentiation between them is to do a Urine pregnancy test and see for the result.
Just do the test and tell me the result so that we can plan further management.
All the best.
Regards
Dr Manisha

Helllo! I took a test yesterday night (the day i was originally supposed to get it) and it came back negative for pregnancy. what could it be? the spotting is barely there now and lasted the time length of my period. i did have a couple little clots a day or so ago?
Brief Answer:
No active treatment needed
Detailed Answer:
Good to hear that the pregnancy test is negative.
It was all just due to environmental stress and disturbed eating and sleeping schedule during your trip time.
Nothing active needs to be done.
Just see the pattern of your next period and in case it stays the same then we will get an Ultrasound done to see for any ovarian or endometrial pathology.
Till then just relax and have a good healthy diet and a nice sleep daily.
Take care
