What Causes Vaginal Spotting Along With Headache And Backache?

I had intercouse on Dec. 26 2016. That was the last day of my period. My app says that I m on a 28 day cycle. I was supposed to start my period on the 20th of this month. I have not started yet. I am irregular but I hardly miss many periods. I m 22 but when I was a teenager I was diagnosed with PCOS. I have not been experiencing those symptoms for years, so I figured I don t have that anymore. Well, I ve already taken plenty of pregnancy test. Some were too early, some a few days before my period was supposed to start and after I had missed a day or two. I have been experiencing symptoms and my body feels different. Breast tenderness, nipples slightly darker, I can see a blue vein, constipation, diherrea, headaches, backaches, stomach churning, and feeling a little sick but not throwing up, my clothes are getting a little snug, feeling a little more tired than usual, waking up too early to go potty, eating a little more, wanting milkshakes, I have been spotting between very light pink-red but not as much as I do with a regular period. It s usually heavier and darker in color. This spotting/bleeding has been happening for a few days now off and on. I have a feeling that I might actually be pregnant but these test are throwing me off. I m still spotting and took a test this morning and it was negative.

Hello,

You are obviously very worried about being pregnant. I must inform you that home pregnancy tests can be negative early on in pregnancy. You must repeat it 1 week post missing your period.

If this test is also negative and you still have not come on your periods, you need to either see your Physician or get an ultrasound done, which will be more specific in diagnosing pregnancy.

If positive- and If you wish to not continue with the pregnancy, please see your Gynaecologist as soon as possible.

Even if you wish to carry on with the pregnancy, see your Gynaecologist, eat healthy and take folic acid supplement.

Now regarding the spotting- a lot of women experience mild spotting or even mild period like bleeding during pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shilpi Kulshreshtha, General & Family Physician
