What Does Spotting Instead Of Periods Indicate?
Hi. My period is scheduled for Fri but I ve been spotting off and on all day. My last period was march 20th. And I had sex on march 31st. Been having some preg symptoms for the past week. I took a test and it showed up positive with a dark line and a very faint 1. Should I retest?

Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I appreciate your concern for the spottings.
Since you had sex (apparently penetrative and unprotective) on March 31st, and your periods are late but have been spotting off and on and with a weak positive pregnancy test are highly suggestive of an early pregnancy.
Repeat the urine pregnancy test on the early morning urine sample to get a positive test.
Hope this answers your query.
