Earlier And Light Periods, Having Discharge Even On 8th Day. Am I Pregnant?

I started my period two weeks early. This time it was very light cycle and started off with a very dark color discharge. After the 5th day it was a light red color. Now it's the 8th day and I still have light bloody discharged.

Could I be pregnant? Or is it something else?

Hi,
If you have been sexually active throughout cycle without any protection, you should definitely exclude/confirm pregnancy. Else, the clinical picture is suggestive of a metropathic cycle and hence, you should get a complete hormonal profile, trans-vaginal sonogram, blood counts and urinalysis and get a specialist' opinion. You may need a hormone supplementation to arrest the spotting if pregnancy has been excluded. Anemia should be corrected and so are any hormonal deficiencies detected. Please maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Take care.
