Hi A Week Ago About 3 Days Late For My
Question: Hi a week ago about 3 days late for my period I took a positive pregnancy test. I took 3 more on different days and they all came back positive. I made an appointment to see a Dr to confirm that I am in fact pregnant, but they set it for the 27th. Yesterday I started to have light spotting and it has me a little nervous. Im not sure of I should be worried something is wrong of if it's just implantation bleeding. I just need some advice about it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Supermanfan ,
Thank you for the query
- Home pregnancy test ,done,
With uncontaminated urine in strerile container,.
After 8 days delay in periods( regular periods). ..confirms pregnancy.
-Implantation of fertilised ovum in uterus is normally after 14 days of fertilization
It is mostly light,spotting (may be more in few cases)&may be around the date of expected pregnancy.
- Ultra sonography scan at 5 weeks gestation...prooves the pregnancy undoubtedly &also excludes other possibilities& gives a perfect impression of pregnancy.I feel that may be the cause you are called on 27th.
* If you had positive pregnancy test with above norms...there is possibility of positive conception.(Or it may be just a delayed period without conception with false pregnancy test)
*So what you need at the moment is-
-Be positive &patient.
-Take rest,light diet
- If you feel the bleeding is excessive,consult your gynecologist immediately.
*To conceive is a chance..There may be pregnancy this month or it may happen some other month.one should not be nervous.
When one is very much keen to conceive..a complete check up of both the partners followed by watchful &patient waiting is suggested.
Few times there might be need of medical assistance,it should be taken as per advise.
I hope that helps. Any follow up query is
welcome.
Thanks.
