Do Light Brown Discharge With Hot Flashes And Cramps Suggest Pregnancy?

My girlfriend had pink then light brown discharge 5 days before period, hot flashes, minor cramps. Her period is due sometime this week. We always use a condom, birth control, and pull out. We are freaking out about pregnancy. Is there a chance she is pregnant? Or could these symptoms result in something else?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query.
I can understand your concern.
The symptoms that you have mentioned, indicate towards a positive pregnancy, however nothing can be said without the information of the length and regularity of her menses, as well as when exactly did you engage in intercourse. You can get back to me with these details or wait for a few more days for her period. If she still doesn't get it, there are chances she might be pregnant.This can be tested and confirmed by urine test for pregnancy. Remember, withdrawal is not 100% safe and thus, to avoid pregnancy, other effective contraception methods should be used.
Hope I have answered your query.
Good luck!
