Resolved question:
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant since the end of March (not long). I got what I thought was my period April 19th, but it only lasted 2 days and was much darker than usual. Since then we have had unprotected sex twice, including last night. This morning I felt fine, but just recently I went to the restroom and had bright red bleeding when I wiped and I'm feeling a little crampy. Could I be pregnant and could this be implantation bleeding?

Hello,
Thanks for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern
It is possible that you might be pregnant. May I know your date of last menstrual period and (before April 19). Do you have regular cycles? How many days?
Please revert back with answers
Regards
Thanks for the reply. My previous period was March 17th lasting 4 days. I'm typically 33-37 days in between cycles. I do normally have some dark bleeding a day or two before my period. But as I mentioned my April period was shorter and darker than normal. My typical period is 4-5 days. April was only 2 1/2.
The bleeding that came out of nowhere today started at 12:30 and I noticed it after I wiped, it was bright red. Around 1400 I felt some discharge and it was more bright red blood. Just recently I urinated and there was more blood, still very red, and somewhat stringy looking.
Thank you!

It is possible to have erratic spotting/ irregular menstrual bleeding while on the pill.
It can occasionally cause cramps also.
So i think that is likely.
ANother possibility is endometriosis or a uterine polyp / fibroid.
Also, pregnancy, more specifically - ectopic pregnancy, has to be conclusively ruled out.
Basically you need to consult a Specialist Ob - Gyn and have the following workup -
1. Internal exam
2. Pelvic transvaginal ultrasound scan.
3. Pap Smear.
4. Hormonal levels - FSH, LH, TSH, Prolactin.
All the best
Please feel free to discuss further.
