What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?

Hi there, I’m worried I might be pregnant, I live in a really small town so can’t buy a pregnancy test without it getting out around town (waiting to go into the big City to buy one) But I had intercourse on the 11/10/17 and got what I thought was my period on the 13/10/17 but it wasn’t as heavy as normal and only lasted 4days I normally go the full 7 days. Now on the 10/11/17(4 days early) I started spotting but it’s very brown/ dark red and sort of stringy looking. I worry because I’ve still been drinking the odd wine at night and I’ve been taking a course of anti inflammatory. I’m very run down and headachy with a head/sinus cold.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The chances for pregnancy is very very rare. You had intercourse towards end your cycle. Generally, ovulation takes place in the middle of the cycle and in your case the intercourse happened towards the end and it is considered as safe period. However get a card test done for reassurance if period gets delayed further.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
