Are Shorter Delayed Menses And Spotting Early Signs Of Pregnancy?

I am 22 years old and I have regular periods usually. Last month I was 3 weeks late and when I got my period it was 2 days shorter than normal. I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. Now im spotting every now and then and I have a fluttery feeling in my abdomen. I have been having unprotected sex. Could I be pregnant?

Hi there.
After reading your question, in my opinion
1) It is too soon to tell whether you are pregnant.
2) you need to wait for a missed period to take a urine pregnancy test. you can also get a blood test called serum beta HCG which gives results earlier.
3) Fluttery feeling could be just due to gas.
4) Spotting might be due to some hormonal imbalance or due to a genital tract infection.

Hope this was helpful to you.
