Does Light Pink Vaginal Discharge Indicate Pregnancy?
I m 23 late of my period. For the past two days when I go to the bathroom and wipe it is pink. It was on and off. Today I wiped and I had what looked like clear discharge with slight blood streaks. I m due for my period in 8 days. Is there a chance these could be signs of pregnancy.
Hello and welcome to HCM, A vaginal discharge alone cannot indicate pregnancy. If you are suspicious of pregnancy you can get an urine pregnancy test. Spotting and slight pink colored discharge can be seen during ovulation and implantation (and that is one when pregnancy is confirmed) Pre-menstrual syndrome is a syndrome occurring before onset of menstruation. Pre-menstrual syndrome is characterised by lower back pain/ discomfort, breast tenderness, bloating, water retention etc. Light vaginal discharge can also occur. Wait for the onset of your periods for few days. If the menstrual cycles do not start within few days, you will need to consult a gynecologist for further work up.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
