Why Did I Spot After 2 Weeks Of HPT Being Positive?

Actually my period was expected to be on 21st of this month and I havnt got it as yet. So when I did the pregnancy test at home, it gave me weak positive result. When I went to my doc for the test, he too got a weak positive result. After that, I got 2 to 3 very light blood spotting. What should I take it as?

hi and thanks for the query,

I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.

There are a few possibilities:
1. It was a missed abortion and hence the test was weak positive. The bleeding may be due to the abortion.
2. Another reason may be a threatened abortion that can produce bleeding.
3. local causes like a cervical polyp or erosion. Less likely but need to be ruled out.

Please get a per speculum examination by a doctor and a transvaginal ultrasound to clarify things and decide further treatment.
Hope this helped. Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
