What Causes Scanty Periods With Bloating And Lightheadedness?

default
Posted on Fri, 25 Apr 2014
Question: I am going through my period stage right now and its extremely light to almost nothing and I don't really have cramping just bloated and light headed. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. could I still be pregnant is it too early to tell? this is my first missed cycle. I did have a miscarriage last November. but the beginning stages of my pregnancy were similar to what I'm feeling now.

Brief Answer: Do a urine pregnancy test next week. Detailed Answer: Hello ma'am, thanks for trusting health care magic. I think you should repeat the pregnancy test after one week, because at times there is a delayed type of ovulation which may not show positive test results on the day of missed periods. In case after a week also the test comes negative then with this minimal flow I would like you to get an ultrasound done and see for evidence of pregnancy. Wish you best of everything and in case you have any query I will be happy to help.
