Does spotting/stomach aches occure during 1st week of pregnancy?

Question

P.S: The stomach aches are not that bad, I've had about 3 in the past 3 days.
And the bleeding is kinda brownish and sometimes pink- and very light. I'm still not sure if I am pregnant, but if I am it would have happened the day after Christmas.
And it's hard to tell if the bleeding is caused by pregnancy, or my birth control. I am on the shot and bleed occasionally (very lightly for a few days) I had my period And after sex it stopped for 3 days and now I am bleeding again...
So- I donno, I'm confused. And I am broke and don't wanna ask my parents for a test. But I am sure I can get one somehow... Maybe...?

If you are on depo provera, I would highly doubt a pregnancy...Spotting is VERY common when using depo, as are cramps.
How long have you been on it? Is this your first shot? If so, it's probably just getting into your system...you never know what your body may do on depo. Most women that I know of tend to spot in the first few-several months, and then have nothing for quite some time. I myself spotted during the first 3 months, had nothing during months 4-6, and in months 7-9 I was spotting again, sometimes quite heavily. I stopped having it after that as I knew it wasn't working...by this time I had lost loads of hair, put on about 25 pounds (when I was told to expect maybe 5 in a year...haha), had no sex drive, much to the chagrin of my husband, became depressed....if it was a side affect of depo, I probably had it!

I'd suggest you wait a few weeks (as you wouldn't get a good answer so early) and go ahead and take a test, simply so you know whether or not to get the next injection when it is due, but I doubt you will get a positive...however, I wouldn't suggest getting the next one anyways...It can completely screw up your body and fertility...18 months later and we're TTC and I'm not having any luck...

Spotting varies from bright red to dark brown. It will nevertheless cause some concern as it might be conected to placenta preavia, ectopic pregnancy or something related ie where the placenta actually lies in the lower part of the uterus. Dangerous. Otherwise its caused by implantation of the zygote to the uterus. Stomach aches should always be checked as it depends on the severity of the pain. So I would suggest you take a trip to your gynae/Obstetrician PLeeeeease.

Go to the drug store or the supermarket and buy a test. If there is a Dollar store in your area you can get a test there. They are just as good as any you buy any where else.

There are a lot of place you can get a free test. Look up planned parent hood in the phone book. The phone book is full of pregnancy counseling centers where you can get free tests. Go to your county public health nurse.

Call social services. For heaven sakes there is no excuse for not getting a test from one of these places.
