What Is The Light Spotting Discharge After My Periods?
I think I might be pregnant but I m unsure. I have just come of my period which I only had for 5 days and not my usual 7. I am very tiered and have period like symptoms including cramping and lower back pain. I have also noticed some light spotting in my discharge.

Hi,
Light spotting can occur commonly before and after periods. Since you have just finished your menstrual cycle, it is really unlikely that you are pregnant. You have not mentioned regarding when you had sexual intercourse. You can still take a pregnancy test if you are highly doubtful. You can take the test after 2 weeks from the date of sexual intercourse.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
