Am I Pregnant If Having Delayed Periods, Spotting And Swollen Breasts?

I have recently had a light bleed for 3 days which started when my period should have on the 17th of this month. I feel like i am going to come on my period again and have sore swollen breasts for the last 3 weeks. Should i see my doctor to see if i am pregnant?

Hallow Dear,

Occasionally, some bleeding may show at the expected time of menses in early pregnancy. This used to be called previously as Placental sign.

If you have all the other symptoms of early pregnancy; i.e. frequent urination, nausea & vomiting with pica and breast symptoms, there are chances that you are pregnant. You definitely have the breast symptoms. You may confirm your pregnancy status by performing pregnancy test on the overnight morning first urine sample. This test is reliable after a week of missed period. Since it is now 3 weeks from the placental sign, the pregnancy test should provide you reliable results.

Alternatively, you may report to your Gynaecologist for detection of pregnancy.

I hope this helps you.
