What Causes Delayed Periods With Spotting And Nausea?

hi, my name is laura and im 20 years old.

I have irregular periods there almost never on the same day month to month.

However, the past 2 months they have been on the 14th to the 19-20th.

this month i havent gotten one yet, and in place of my period i had pink spotting for a couple of days and hd that feeling like i was gonna start my period. i`m kind of nausea but, i do have a cold right now.

The blood is now BRIGHT red and watery and theres been so little it barely reaches my pad. it usually justs wipes off. last week my boobs were really sore too.

However, i do want to mention ive been very stressed lately too.

um, i`m afraid im pregnant or im hving a miscarriage i looked at some sights and all the answers ppl get are so confusing....

i dont know whats what you know?

Can you help please? i`m very scared. I dont want to0 get sick or die from hving a miscarriage and not knowing that i was having one.

Thank You,

Laura

Hello Laura

Your intuition and confusion is quite genuine. With your symptoms, you might be pregnant and even on verge of early abortion.

You need to undergo certain tests to confirm.
Please get a Serum Beta HCG test done.Its a blood test to detect even minute pregnancy. Value more than 25 confirms pregnancy and less than 5 rules out pregnancy.
Also get an ultrasound early pregnancy done to rule out ectopic pregnancy and missed abortion.

Please don't be scared.Get yourself tested and get to a diagnosis at the earliest. Each of these conditions can be managed with minimal/no complications if detected in time.
