Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Sometimes women may have spotting while being pregnant also.
But just by alteration in the pattern of menstrual flow we cannot come to one conclusion regarding the pregnancy.
You once go for blood test for pregnancy or for ultrasound which can give more accurate results compared with urine test.
If the possibility of pregnancy is excluded by these tests, you can use the tablets prescribed by your doctor.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
