I Am Only Spotting And HPT Indicates Faint Positive Can I Be Pregnant?

Last period was December 6-11, been spotting some. The early part of this month and yesterday. All HPT s are negative except 1 from two days ago was a very faint positive, and blood test from yesterday is negative. Still no period. Could I still be preganent? or are there a million reasons for this?

Hallow Dear,

You have to be rather cautious with the symptoms you are describing.

If your pregnancy test is faint positive and you are spotting, the first diagnosis to be looked for is pregnancy outside the uterine cavity (ectopic pregnancy). Do you have pain in the abdomen also? This is a very serious condition which lands into life threatening bleeding emergencies requiring blood transfusion and surgical intervention to save the life.

Please report to your Gynaecologist for due assessment of the condition. You may have to undergo Laparoscopy for diagnosis or certain clinical tests can diagnose this condition.

Please do not waste time. Rush to The Gynaecologist ASAP.

Take care please.
