What Causes Vaginal Bleeding And Cramps During Early Pregnancy?
Hi, I am sixteen years old and took a pregnancy test last week that was positive. I took the test because my parents asked me if I was pregnant due to symptoms and morning sickness. But today I started spotting and having normal period bleeding and bad cramps. What does this mean????

Hi,
Bleeding and spotting during early pregnancy is a sign of miscarriage.
It is very likely that you are already in the process of miscarriage and this should complete by itself. But if you have a prolonged and heavy bleed, please see a gynecologist immediately, as then you may require medical help.
Also I would advise you to repeat the urine pregnancy test after 3 weeks.
At 16 years, would advise you take an opinion from a Gynaecologist /General practitioner regarding what would be an effective and safe method of contraception for you.
It would be in your best interest to delay pregnancy till you are 18 years of age.
Hope this helps
Regards
