Hi,
Absence of menstruation or missing a period is the first cardinal symptom of pregnancy. However, few women do get some amount of bleeding during early pregnancy at or around the expected date of menstruation. This used to be known as placental sign in good old days.
Your history of the spotting followed by menstrual bleeding does not seem to suggest the possibility of pregnancy. However, you may confirm the diagnosis by:
1. Pregnancy test on overnight morning first urine sample about a week after the first day of your 'so called' menstruation; earlier these tests may report false negative results.
2. Alternatively you may opt for Beta hCG test on the blood 10 days after last unprotected intercourse. Values above 25 mIU/ml are diagnostic of pregnancy while in non-pregnant state, the values remain under 5 mIU/ml. I am sure, this should resolve your dilemma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
