Hello
However , you didn't mention the complete history of menstrual cycles . In Oct it was for 5 days , than in Nov 3-4 days and earlier . Again pink spot .
This is called as irregular period and may be due to these possibilities , these include .
1 Poly cystic Ovarian Disease ( PCOD ) , this is the main cause of such type of irregular bleeding , particularly in young child bearing age group female.
Diagnosis can be confirmed by ultrasound of both ovaries and blood examination for hormone level ( FSH. LH ANDROGENS ).
2 Uterine fibroid is another such common cause . Get in ultrasound of uterus .
3 Tension or anxiety also causes hormonal imbalance .
In my opinion wait for another 2-3 months ans if still irregular menses or amenoorhea then consult a gynecologist and get his opinion .
In my opinion this is not due to pregnancy.
