Hello,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
The spotting you are having may be an implantation bleeding.
It may occur when fertilized ovum tried to attach itself to the endometrial wall of the uterus. It might be an early sign of pregnancy. So, you do not need to worry.
Please, do a home urine pregnancy test to know if you are pregnant or not if not done earlier.
Please, let me know if you have any other symptoms like abdominal pain, vaginal discharge/itching etc.
Feel free to discuss further
Thanks

Hello, thanks for the reply,
I have done 2 pregnacy tests, but i am still spotting, and they are all negative
should i wait till the spotting stops or if i get my period and then do the test?
i am very fatigued and at the start i had cramping, i get a sore back and am contantly drinking water, no itching or viginal discharge
thanks
Have you ever spotted irregularly in this fashion before ?
Take a test by the 30th of May, irrespective of how the bleeding / spotting persists.
Regards.

This has never happend to me before(expecially not 10 days before my period) and its alot lighter than my normal period, im still spotting and i took a test before and its negative,
could my body take a long time to pick anything up?
Thanks
Hello ,
Such spotting could occur once in a while.
Take a test around the 30th as I said earlier.
If this kind of spotting persists each month, have an internal evaluation, a Pap smear and a pelvic ultrasound scan.
Hope it was helpful
Thanks

Hello,
I havent got my period and it is now the next month, but negative pregnacy tests
Im not really sure what is going on, as the tests should be showing up by now? or is it still too early
It is not too early.
The test is conclusive.
I think you had an earlier and lighter period last month.
Maintain a track of your bleeding in a diary.
If the same kind of erratic spotting happens this month too, please get an ultrasound scan and a Pap smear with internal evaluation.
