What Causes Vaginal Spotting During Pregnancy?

hello first of all, I m Paola, i need help urgently. I m 18 years old and I ve just started college, my boyfriend and i think i m 2 week an 3 days pregnant, we are scared to go to a doctor, because of what might people say in my town as everyone know each other. So I ve been having this weird symptoms which i don t know if they are normal and they ve just started 3 days ago, first: -i bleeded a little dot on my panties -then i went to the bathroom and pee and a little brown mucus came( i read its normal during pregnancy and that its also normal during my ovulation time but it has never happened to me) -then today i went to exercise and when i got back home i had a spot again on my panty and again a mucus came out but it was white. my boyfriend and I have accept the fact that its a big responsibility this child, and we are going to have it if i am pregnant, and we have great illusions and i don t want to miscarriage, cause it will destroy us and also make me very ill as i am an anemic person. I would like to know what do you suggest we should do, we really don t want to go to a doctor until we know i m pregnant and i don t trust pregnancy test. Thank you, please please answer asap

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the confirmation of pregnancy can be done by 3 tests like urine pregnancy test,serum B HCG and ultrasound.The first sign.of pregnancy is missed period.Other signs of pregnancy are nausea,vomitings,increased urination,sore breasts which start 2 weeks after missed period or around 6 weeks.The spotting just seen around the expected date of period can be due to implantation bleeding in case of pregnancy.As you dont want to go to doctor only way to confirm pregnancy is doing a urine pregnancy test by yourself.This test usually gives accurate results a week after missed period.So consider doing the test.The spotting in case of pregnancy might suggests abnormal pregnancy like miscarriage due to hormonal abnormalities.Nothing to worry.If the cause is corrected it can be prevented.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
