Do Light Spotting With Cramps And Back Pain Suggest Pregnancy?

I m 20yrs of age and my fiance and I have been trying to conceive for four months now. I haven t been on birth control in over a year. I was on and off three months at a time on birth control for 4 years. Last year I had gotten gonorrhea. I had it for about two weeks. Every since I started having periods at age 10 they have never been regular. I would go months with an period. Starting Jan (2015) I have had a period every month on time. They would last 3 days max. Before then they would last 5days. Last month (April) my period was two days late and I had a clot bigger than a quarter on my pad on the first day. That period lasted two days and became regular on the second day. This month (May) I was one day late. I had sex the day I was expecting to have my period. I had a little brown streaks in my panties that morning.next day I went to go urinate and it looked like a small pink plug had came out. About an hour later when I urinated again, clots of blood came out about the size of a dime or smaller. Later that day and the next two days, my period was brown. I would use one pad on each day. But when I wiped, I had very light pink blood on tissue. Its been 4 days since my period and I m still cramping and having backache, chest pain at times, urinating more frequently , bloated and fatigue. I really wish I conceived this month. Im planning on taking a pregnancy test by the end of the week , but I don t want to get my hopes up. My fiance is starting to give up.

Hi,

You seem to be having irregular periods for quite sometime. I would advise you to visit a gynecologist and get your periods regulated. You must get investigated and treated for gonorrhea (if not done already) and get ruled out for its complications also. Gonorrhea can be treated well with medications however if left untreated can lead to long term complications. You seem to have increased frequency of urination which also needs to be investigated.

Please note all the symptoms which you are facing are common in gonorrhea however can happen independently also. Therefore, you need to be sure of the cause of these symptoms. If you are planning pregnancy, I would advise you to plan around 14th day backwards from the expected day of periods as the ovulation (release of egg) happens around that time. You don't need to lose hope as pregnancy may take months or even years to happen without having any medical issues.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Anoop Kumar, General & Family Physician
