Does Continued Light Spotting With Fatigue Mean Pregnancy?

im always sleepy even when i just woke up in the morning. and a week after my supposedly period i have like light flow like some sort of spotting ( pale red like pink and brownish) and im on my 4th day now.. its always consistent that way it didn't switch to heavy flow like my normal period would have been. Could i be pregnant or just having one of those weird period moments? and yes, me and my husband is trying to get prego. Thanks.

Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Light or irregular periods can be due to pregnancy or any hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism. I would suggest you to get a urine pregnancy test done to confirm the diagnosis and get further management accordingly.
If negative, then you should consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined,investigated including hormonal profile and ultrasound and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
