Could Light Vaginal Bleeding Occur During Pregnancy?
Hi Dr,
I am 26 F; my last period was on 29th March. Normally I have regular period. I did urine pregnancy test which turned was negative. I don’t have any pregnancy symptoms. I saw very light pink spotting on 19th May which lasted for 2 days only (visible only when I used tissue paper). Again from 23rd May until 27th may I saw brownish spotting (visible only when I used tissue paper). Then on 29th and 30th I saw light bleeding (not enough to soak the pad). I was horrified and went to see OB. He did quick scanning of my womb. I saw white line like thing in my womb and asked OB about that. He said it was my period which was stuck in my womb. To find the reason behind this he said he needs to perform blood test to see if I had any hormonal imbalance. But the blood test report was normal. OB said he was not able to determine if I was pregnant but gave medication for my period withdrawal. He said that the medicine won’t affect baby even if I am pregnant.
My question is could I still be pregnant or was the light bleeding I had my period? Per my OB that was not my period. I want to have baby so I am scared to take the medicine he gave to me. Some people said we need to have full bladder when ultrasound is done to see everything clearly. For me my OB did the scanning without full bladder. Could this be the reason he did not see things in my womb?
Thank you .

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Yes slight bleeding can occur even in pregnant state... such bleeding needs to be evaluated &treated earliest.
In early months of pregnancy... such bleeding indicates less pregnancy hormone progesterone.
Yes yiu are just 6 weeks pregnant at present... and absence of full bladder may cause error in reading... unless he had used a vaginal probe.
Blood beta hcg testing /repeat usg scan with full bladder or vagunal probe would give you confirmed report.
Till then you should take rest.. avoid exertion or psychological stress.Hormone progesterone supplement can be started in consultation of treating gynecologist.
Thanks.
