Can Abnormality In Periods Be Indication Of Pregnancy?

Hello, I am very confused and just looking for some guidance. In February my period was a week late. I was supposed to start the 21st of February, my husband and I had intercourse that day and I started to bleed but the bleeding stopped after about an hour so I waited and it returned on the 28th of February. It went on like a normal period. Then on 12 March I had light brown spotting with discharge. I have never had this happen before. Since then I feel very bloated, there are pains in my lower stomach particularly on my left side. I feel nauseous at times. I also get lightheaded even when I am just sitting down. When I wipe there seems to be a lot of discharge. Because of the irregular period I am not sure when I ovulated and I did have unprotected sex throughout this entire time. I am not sure if I should take a pregnancy test now because it could be a false negative. Given all this information would you say it sounds like I am pregnant?

Hello and thanks for your query.

I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
I advice you to go for urine pregnancy test and use the morning sample of urine as it is more sensitive.
As you have mentioned you have irregular period, it is difficult to predict regarding the safe period.
Rather than going for the diagnosis based on the signs of pregnancy, it is better to do urine pregnancy test.

Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.

Sincerely,
I find this answer helpful
