Hallow Dear,
The spotting you had on 5 Oct could be labelled as mittlesmersch which happens at the time of egg release. It is also associated with some colicky pain in the abdomen . So I would not have any concern for this spotting.
However, your pregnancy test needs some attention. It was weak positive. After your normal menses, such weak positive pregnancy test is rather mystery. Such week positive pregnancy test is due to low levels of hCG; which happens after baby becomes non-viable , abortion or ectopic pregnancy. However, your history is suggestive of none of these conditions.
Please repeat the test again after about a weeks gap. If still it is positive or weak positive, report to the Gynaecologist.
Hope this helps you,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
