Trying To Conceive. Missing Periods And Started Spotting. HPT Negative. Any Advice?

Hi, I am 27 years old and planning for a baby. I skipped my periods this month (Jan) my last period was on 6th of December however as the usual routine I get 6 days early then the actual date according to which I should get it on around 2nd of Jan or 3rd of Jan. I did urine pregnancy test at home which resulted negative. However from past 4/5 days I have spotting. Please advice me what should I do. Is this a sign of pregnancy.

hello,

First of all, you should undergo a blood test for beta hCG or TVS scan (around 4 weeks) to confirm or exclude pregnancy.

If you get negative result again, then other reasons of irregular spotting like hormonal imbalance, stress/ anxiety, ovarian cyst, thyroid problem, wt gain/ extreme loss, irregular eating habits etc. are needed to be ruled out properly.

Here you need some investigation to rule out underlying pathology by USG pelvis,Thyroid profile, LH/ FSH, Blood estrogen & progesterone level etc. So consult with your doctor and take suggestive measures.

Avoid stress,take healthy diet with iron supplements,control body wt and need proper sleep.

If you need further consultation with me,then you can visit http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-soumen-patra/63326.

Take care.
