What Causes Spotting During Regular Menstruation?

Hi this is sarvani. Age 24 and recently married. My period cycle was normal till last month. But now the periods came on right time, but there is no flow in bleeding and it spotted for 4 days. Today is the 5th day for me. Now I can see the change that flow has started. When it spotted I thought it was pregnancy. Could u please clarify me what was happening.

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Scanty flow during the periods can be due to pregnancy or hormonal disturbances like hypothyroidism or hyperprolactemia.
If your previous cycles were regular with normal blood flow, then the chances that of pregnancy are there.
I will suggest you to get an urine pregnancy test done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment timely.
If negative, then you should get your hormonal profile and ultrasound done to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
