Hi there,
After going through your question, I am of the opinion that:
1) Some women get little bleeding every month for 3 to 4 months of their pregnancy.
2) However, that bleeding is very light and does not even fill one pad.
3) Sometimes, when you start trying for pregnancy, there are hormonal changes which can cause a change in normal menstrual pattern.
4) You can get a urine pregnancy test at home to just check whether you are pregnant. If that is negative, you can just sit back and relax. In case you miss your periods, you can repeat the urine pregnancy test or a blood test called serum beta HCG

I hope this was helpful.
Regards,
Dr. Shikha Shah
