default
Posted on Wed, 10 Dec 2014
Question: Is it possible for me to be pregnant if I spotted a week early? Last Monday a week before my period was due and it is pretty regular I went to wipe and got brown looking blood and then nothing again tell Thursday morning and then I bleed what I thought would be normal tell Saturday evening when it just stopped all of a sudden. I feel bloated still but I'm not bleeding at all. My period should actually start tomorrow the 17th

Possible to be pregnant

Detailed Answer:
Hi

It is possible that you are pregnant though you spotted early.

The spotting is called implantation bleeding. It happens when embryo implants into uterus.

Is it common for someone who has regular 28 day periods to spot brownish red blood 6 days prior and then bleed consistent for a few days though? I just had another gush too an hour ago and then it's getting really light again

Brief Answer:
Serum beta hCG blood test

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Yes it is possible to get such brown spotting consistently though you are pregnant.

But this gush of bleeding one hour back sounds like your periods.

If you have missed your period please get serum beta hCG blood test done to confirm pregnancy.
