Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Are Unusual Bleeding And Mucus Discharge Signs Of Pregnancy?
Hello, My periods always arrive like clockwork and I have a 23/24 day cycle. My last period was on April 12 and lasted for 3 days. I had unprotected sex on April 24. My period was approximately 2 days late when I took a pregnancy test yesterday May 8 and it was obviously negative. Late last night when I went to the bathroom, when I wiped there was bright red blood. This morning when I went to bathroom again and wiped it was more of a light brown colour with a bit of mucousy type discharge. None of this is at all like the start of a normal period for me. Any chance I took the test took early? Had a few potential pregnancy symptoms, or at least symptoms that I wouldnt normally have with PMS. Just wanted a doctor s general opinion as I am currently living overseas in a foreign country and don t have the ability to easily see a doctor.

Hi,
Bleeding you have could be implantation bleeding. Pregnancy test is best done after 8 days delay in periods. You had done it earlier so if the bleeding you have stops and dies not simulate with your menstrual habit, you should go for repeat home pregnancy test. This would confirm / exclude pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
