What Do Light, Short Periods With Pregnancy Symptoms Suggest?
Hi there, I was just an article on implantation bleeding. I was due to have my period around 25 or 26 Dec, however I got it on 24 Dec, but this wasn t your normal bleeding. I ve only bled for 3 days and have stopped. My nipples are still quite big and I m still feeling bloated with a little nausea. Should I wait for a few days to take a pregnancy or is it my actual period that has come early? Usually my breasts go down when I have my period but on this occasion it hasn t and my stomach is still bloated. Any advice please?
Hello, Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. Periods may be short and scanty at times as compared to routine. And other symptoms you have mentioned are quite non-specific and do not necessarily indicate that you are pregnant for sure. You have not mentioned you sexual exposure and contraception history. Still, if you are in doubt, you can surely go for home pregnancy test using morning urine sample. Although, I don't think you are pregnant. Thanks for using HCM. Do ask if any further question is there. Take care.
