Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I ve just got off my period on Sunday and I ve been vomiting for the past couple of days. I also started spotting on Tuesday which was the day after me and my boyfriend had sex. We also had sex a couple of days before my period. My period was light but I had hard cramps. Is that a possibility of pregnancy?
Unprotected intercourse at any time of the month, even during your period, always carries a risk of pregnancy. Sometimes, after fertilization (sperm meets egg) and implantation of the fertilized egg into the lining of the uterus, light bleeding can happen. This is called an implantation bleed. Symptoms of early pregnancy include nausea, vomiting and abdominal cramps. So, yes, there is a possibility of pregnancy. Home pregnancy kits are a convenient but inaccurate way of testing to see if you have fallen pregnant. The most accurate method is to have your family doctor perform a blood test known as serum beta HCG.
I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily. Take care. Dr Shabnam
