is spotting a sign of pregnancy?

Answer 1

No...spotting is usually a sign that your about to get your period. Have you missed a period or are you late? If so it could be implantation bleeding. This occurs when the egg buries itself into the uterus. However, don't freak out. If you have missed your period or you are late take a pregnancy test. If you haven't missed your period your probably about to start or you could just be having a light period. Good luck! Just take a deep breath and a home pregnancy test!

Answer 2

It depends on how much "spotting" you are doing. It can be a sign since the fertilized egg would be implanting itself in the uterine wall and this does sometimes cause spotting.

Spotting can also be evident for the first few months of a pregnancy as hormones acclimate themselves. Though uncommon, some women report mild spotting through their whole pregnancy.

Of course the most accurate sign would be missing your period all together and of course, taking a pregnancy test and having the result read;"+".

Answer 3

Yes, it is normal for women who are in the early stages of pregnancy to have a bit of spotting. If the bleeding becomes heavier or is accompanied by cramps, notify your doctor right away.

However spotting is also a very common side effect during the first few months of using the birth controll pill. Spotting can also be a sign of an infection, a cyst or a polyp in your vagina, cervix or uterus and should be investigated by a doctor. Finally spotting can be due to being under a lot of extra stress recently.

Answer 5

there are many signs to pregancy.spotting alone is not a sign.

the first and obvious sign is missing one or two periods.but periods can also be affected by stress and diet or other medical conditions. you should first do a pregnancy test if the result is negative and your period has still not arrived then do another test as the first test may have been negative because there was not enough of the pregnancy hormones in your body to show up.

when pregnancy is confirmed it is not unusal to have some spotting in the first trimester (first three months) some people can have light periods whilst prgnant.

Answer 6

It can be. I spotted around the time for my period when I found out I was pregnant with my first child. So, yes it could be a sign.

Answer 7

Sometimes. Most pregnancy tests can give you reading up to three days before your period is due, so if you're due on anytime soon, do a test.
If in doubt, a trip to the doctors is not only free (if you live in the UK) but the quickest way to put your mind at rest.
Hope the result is the one you want!

It was with me. I started spotting the day my period was due but it stopped the next day. As I still had the sore boobs and period cramps I'd been having for a week or more I did a test and it was positive!

Answer 9
