Suspicious Vaginal Spotting... Curious of What It Means!??? Posted: 10-22-03 16:07pm
Hi everyone, i've had very suspicious
vaginal spotting about 2 weeks ago. I
spotted blood 1-2 times during the
day(very light) and the next day I didn't
spot at all but then the day after that I
spotted again only once but lightly bright
red. I usually get my period around the
18/19 and I haven't received it yet but
i'm usually irregular. I thought I was
getting my period when the spotting
happened but it didn't come down at all.
I am nervous because I dont know what this
necessarily means and I don't have a set
obgyn since its been like 2 years since
i've seen the doctor (i know that's bad).
My fiance and I have unprotected sex all
the time (now we have done it not to
often-maybe once a week) and have been for
the past 5-6 months and I don't know if
this could be a sign of pregnancy or maybe
i'm just overreacting. My mother has had
a miscarriage before and tells me that
spotting is a sign of that... But at this
point I don't even know if i'm pregnant...
Should I take a test.. Go to a doctor.
Please give response if anyone has
experienced this. Thanks a bunch!

Dear chilly,
you could quite possibly be pregnant,
especially since you have been having
unprotected sex. Spotting sometimes
occurs a few days after conception as the
egg is implanting itself deep into the
uterus. You would only need to be
concerned about miscarriage if you were
also experiencing heavy bleeding possibly
containing tissue or clots, severe abdomen
pain accompanied by severe lower back pain
aswell. Worrying will almost definately
delay your period and spotting is not
uncommon in women who are irregular in
their period or taking the birth control
pill. Maybe you could take a pregnancy
test just to be sure.
Good luck...

Thank you suzy for your advice. I'm
getting swollen breasts but they're really
not in pain and I have to pee often, but
those are also signs of getting
menstruation. I will see by tomorrow if
I don't get my period, I will take a test.
