Is Pregnancy Possible With Light Menstrual Bleed?

Hi I usually have a heavy flow but this month its been very light for 5 days. 1st day was red thought it was my period but only lasted half a day then every time I went to the toilet it was a pinkish colour but clear. Been like that day 2 and 3. Day 4 and today have been brown. Day 1 I had cramps for about 2 hours usually then id start a heavy flow. 2 tests have been neg so far.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
If your regular period is heavier than it may be possible that this was implantation bleeding. Usually this bleed occurs around the time of the expected period and is lighter lasting for 1-2 days.
Pregnancy tests usually become positive 7-10 days after the missed period so if you have taken them early than the result does not mean much.

I suggest you take a pregnancy test with a first morning urine sample 7-10 days after the first day of your period if you have not already done it. If it is negative do not worry as this may just be a lighter period.

Hope you find this helpful.
