What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

Hi,Im 30yrs old,and my period is very regular - every 27 - 28 days,usually takes 5 - 6 days.We are trying aprox.7 - 8 months,and this months i had aprox,4 days ( 10 - 11 days past ovulation ) before period light spotting. i ve got my period - on day 28,but period lasted for two days - quite heavy,and then just tiny spotting.Its very unusual for me,as i had always very regular and 5 days period,light spotting was on end,maybe on 6th day.Last two days ( spotting days ) im aswell increadibly tired and sleepy.never had any problems in future,i didnt even take contraception pills.Could i be pregnant? Im not sure if its better to wait few more days or do pregn.test even tomorrow morning.Thank you.

Hallow Dear,

The fact that you had profuse bleeding, may be only for two days, minimizes the possibility of pregnancy. Since you bled quite a lot in two days, the remaining days were with less amount of bleeding.

Such a heavy bleeding could also be due to hormonal imbalance - Thyroid or reproductory.

If you want to confirm the possibility of pregnancy, you may get urine pregnancy test performed after 8-10 days, done earlier it may give false negative results. Beta hCG tests can give reliable results within 2-3 days.

The lethargy you are experiencing is most likely to be due the heavy bleeding you had. Please get your blood examined for haemoglobin. Starting high protein diet and iron tablets is a good proposition.

If such pattern of menstruation persists even after few months, please get your Thyroid function test (T3, T4, TSH) and LH, FSH and Prolactin tested on your blood.

I hope this satisfies you.

Best wishes,

Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
