Could Spotting Be Due To Pregnancy Or Miscarriage?

I am not due for my period for another week and a half and 2 days ago I had brown discharge. Not a lot. Then today I have dark dark red/brown blood that is chunky. Not my normal bright red blood when I'm on my period. What is it? Am I pregnant or having a miscarriage?

Hi,

It could be due to ovulation also. If you had unprotected intercourse then there are chances for implantation bleeding which is due to pregnancy. Miscarriage is not at all possible even before confirming pregnancy. Or else intercourse itself sometimes causes spotting. I would advise to wait for your periods to come. If it arrives on time then no worries regarding pregnancy or miscarriage. If you miss your periods for more than a week then check for pregnancy and further management depends on it. But there are less chances for pregnancy. Don't worry.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Archana Rajesh Babu, OB & GYN Specialist
