Could Vaginal Spotting And Stomach Cramps Be Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
I'm wondering if I could be pregnant. 5days before mentrual I started spotting lite pink off and on up to expected period. Within that week I started urinating every 2-4hrs, nipple soreness on left side. Period didn't show up on expected day . 2days later bright red heavy flow bleeding that lasted 2.5days. A week later start to have heartburn without eating anything spicy or acidic. And now have mild cramping on my left side by ovaries and back, and light spotting. Could this be pregnancy?

Hi there,
After reading your question, I am of the opinion that:
1) Frequent urination, missed periods, nipple soreness etc. could be signs of pregnancy.
2) However, you did get your period later on which lasted for 2.5 days, so there are less chances of pregnancy.
3) The heartburn and acidity could just be incidental and unrelated to pregnancy. The mild cramping in your ovaries and back as well as spotting could be a sign of ovulation called Mittelschmerz sign or also could be due to pregnancy.
4) My suggestion is that you get a urine pregnancy test done. If that is negative, no need to worry and you can wait for your next periods.
In case you miss them, you can get a blood test called serum beta HCG done to detect pregnancy earlier.
5) If the abdominal pain persists or increases, you can get an ultrasonography done of your pelvis.
I hope this was helpful.
Regards,
Dr. Shikha Shah
