I think I may be but I am uncertain. I started noticing I was feeling nausea. But then on Sunday, I got what I thought was my period. My period usually lasts 4-5 days. It's now Tuesday and my period is completely gone. I was reading that bleeding sometimes occurs that may appear to be a light period... could I be pregnant?

Did you have unprotected sex with your husband/partner. Then the answer to your question is yes you could be pregnant.
Now the real question here is whether you are pregnant. For that you will need a pregnancy test.

Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed menstrual cycle. Understanding pregnancy symptoms is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. Some women experience pregnancy symptoms within a week of conception. For other women, symptoms may develop over a few weeks or may not be present at all. Below is a listing of some of the most common pregnancy symptoms.
Implantation Bleeding:
Implantation bleeding can be one of the earliest pregnancy symptoms. About 6-12 days after conception, the embryo implants itself into the uterine wall. Some women will experience spotting as well as some cramping.
Other Explanations: Actual menstruation, altered menstruation, changes in birth control pill, infection, or abrasion from intercourse.
Delay/Difference in Menstruation:
A delayed or missed menstruation is the most common pregnancy symptom leading a woman to test for pregnancy. When you become pregnant, your next period should be missed. Many women can bleed while they are pregnant, but typically the bleeding will be shorter or lighter than a normal period. This symptom is commonly explained by other reasons. If you have been sexually active and have missed a period, it is recommended that you take a test: Order my pregnancy test
Other Explanations: Excessive weight gain/loss, fatigue, hormonal problems, tension, stress, ceasing to take the birth control pill, or breast-feeding.
Swollen/Tender Breasts:
Swollen or tender breasts is a pregnancy symptom which may begin as early as 1-2 weeks after conception. Women may notice changes in their breasts; they may be tender to the touch, sore, or swollen.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance, birth control pills, impending menstruation (PMS) can also cause your breasts to be swollen or tender.
Fatigue/Tiredness:
Feeling fatigued or more tired is a pregnancy symptom which can also start as early as the first week after conception.
Other Explanations: Stress, exhaustion, depression, common cold or flu, or other illnesses can also leave you feeling tired or fatigued.
Nausea/Morning Sickness:
This well-known pregnancy symptom will often show up between 2-8 weeks after conception. Some women are fortunate to not deal with morning sickness at all, while others will feel nauseous throughout most of their pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Food poisoning, stress, or other stomach disorders can also cause you to feel queasy.
Backaches:
Lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy; however, it is common to experience a dull backache throughout an entire pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Impending menstruation, stress, other back problems, and physical or mental strains.
Headaches:
The sudden rise of hormones in your body can cause you to have headaches early in pregnancy.
Other Explanations: Dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, impending menstruation, eye strain, or other ailments can be the source of frequent or chronic headaches.
Frequent Urination:
Around 6-8 weeks after conception, you may find yourself making a few extra trips to the bathroom.
Other Explanations: Urinary tract infection, diabetes, increasing liquid intake, or taking excessive diuretics.
Darkening of Areolas:
If you are pregnant, the skin around your nipples may get darker.
Other Explanations: Hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or may be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.
Food Cravings:
While you may not have a strong desire to eat pickles and ice cream, many women will feel cravings for certain foods when they are pregnant. This can last throughout your entire pregnancy.

The easiest way to find out is to take a home pregnancy test or go to a clinic and get tested. Thats the only way to know for sure. We could all sit here and tell you that you do or dont have the symptoms but we dont even know for sure, everyone is different. A test is your best bet to answers.

you have to take a test to be sure and even then theres a change it would be wrong, I was pregnant, I also bleed the first three months but before I knew that I took a pregnancy test and it gave me negative so go see a doctor, plus it is normal for some women to bleed like myself.
Good Luck and God bless

You should take a test to be sure, you'll drive yourself crazy wondering. You can get one from the store or go to planned parenthood and its free. I know a few people who spotted but were pregnant. And i also know someone who had her "period" the entire time she was pregnant.

Yes , you can be pregnant and spot.. I had two pregnancies... The first one ended up in a misscarriage. I started spotting then it ended up in lots of Blood... ( NOT TO SCARE YOU OR ANYTHING) my second one I spotted as well for the first 3 mo. then it went away.. and Now I have my baby boy...
Get it checked out... Just to make sure that if you are preg. the spotting isn't anything negative...
Good Luck

You had unprotected sex? Go take a test. Preferably a blood test to be more accurate. You cant rely on home test kit.
