Are Delayed Periods, Vaginal Spotting And Cramps Suggestive Of Pregnancy?

Hey. I m 18 yrs old of age. And I ve been having unprotected sex for quite a while now and until now I haven t gotten pregnant In over a year. Now I have a question. What s the possibility of being pregnant when I missed my period by almost 5 days . I bled only for one day which wasn t much. It seemed like my period but it wasn t. It wasn t enough to fill a pad or tampon. I ve felt just a tiny bit nauseas and until now I have minor like really minor spotting in the color of brownish pinkish reddish either one of those colors. And not to forget I ve had cramps

Hi,

Your symptoms could be due to pregnancy, and hormonal imbalance. Missed period is definitive symptoms of pregnancy. Nausea, spotting, cramp are variable symptoms of pregnancy. Spotting could be due to implantation bleeding as it is just like spotting, brownish to pinkish in color, associated with cramp.

You can go for blood HCG test at this time to confirm pregnancy otherwise wait for period to come. If period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test. Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, maintain proper pelvic hygiene, take proper rest.

Hope this may help you. Contact further if follow up needed.

Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
