Are Light Periods Symptom Of Pregnancy?

Hello, I'm worrying if I am pregnant right now because I always get my period on time but I got it for a day last month and my flow wasn't as heavy as usual. And I'm also wondering if dried sperm were to get onto my vagina, would I be pregnant? Because I'm over thinking too much and it's making me worry a lot.

Hello,
Dried sperm cannot be considered to cause pregnancy as motility cannot be seen; moreover it needs to happen during the fertile days only to cause conception. Please remember that stress can affect the menstrual cycles very much and can cause irregularity too. If you wish to exclude/confirm pregnancy for sure, please get a trans-vaginal sonogram and see a specialist for proper evaluation. Hope your query has been clarified. Wish you good health.
