Can I Be Pregnant With Slight Spotting And Lower Back Pain?

3 days late. Have lower back pain. Home Pregnancy test came back negative. 3 days ago had very slight spotting when wiped myself at toilet but that was literally it. Have an undwractive thyroid and taking 125 g of levothyroxine. Is there any possibility I could be pregnant or is my body just giving out on me?

Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your delayed period could be due to pregnancy and underactive thyroid.
Slight spotting may be a implantation bleeding if you did unprotected sex during fertile phase of period.
But pregnancy test will give positive results once your period will delay by more than 7 days.
If period will delay by more than 7 days then go for urine pregnancy test and or blood HCG test to confirm pregnancy.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, take proper treatment for thyroid dysfunction, do regular exercise, maintain proper pelvic hygiene.
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
