Had very light period for 4 days.....?

Question

anyone have spotting that long and still end up being pregnant? Light period/spotting started on july 19 and lasted barely four days. A normal period for me is about 7-8 days and a heavy flow. Yes I am going to test, just haven't had the chance to get one yet. Since I finished spotting I have had blue veins raised up on my breast. Has this happened to you or someone u know and ended up being pregnant?

Answer 1

hi there the person that also answered above is very rude im sure you know the way to get pregnant but if you have had light spotting for the time you said you might be pregnant its hard to say but i would suggest doing a HPT to find out if you are in a day or so whenever you feel like doing one totally your choice or even go to the doctor and ask for a blood test to be done than you will know if you are or not pregnant. also had light spotting and found out i wasnt pregnant but one of my friends had the same as you and she was! so theres still hope for you otherwise if your not pregnant just keep trying and you will get your bundle of joy!!

Answer 2

I didnt have it for four days straight, but I had very, very light spotting on and off for a week or so (not every day)... I now have a beautiful seven month old son so it is possible you could be pregnant! Blue veins was my first real pregnancy symptom that appeared straight away too which I thought I was imagining lol. I honestly believed it was just my period starting because of the spotting and also cramping, but it was just implantation bleed. (I was hoping I was pregnant by the way, we had been trying for six months!).  

Actually at first doctor / midwife appointment the first thing they ask all new mothers is what their last period was like. Apparently it is common for women to mistake implantation bleeds and spotting with periods, so they ask if your last period was lighter and shorter than usual....

look, no one can tell if they are pregnant by blue veins on their b*****s. the fact that you have had an irregular typed period thats light shows that somethings up. this is VERY COMMON WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE PREGNANT. you always get the first one just into your pregnacny and its always very light... you probably know the following ok, its just a missing periods factfile..

Could I be pregnant?

If you've had s*x, or if sperm has got near your v****a, it's possible.

Once women start making eggs (ovulating) they can get pregnant.

This can happen even before you start your periods. Girls younger than 10 have got pregnant.

You can't get pregnant through giving your boyfriend oral s*x (a ********).

See the pregnancy factfile for more.

Remember: Up to five days after s*x you can still use emergency contraception to stop yourself getting pregnant. See your GP, in confidence.

How do I know if I'm pregnant?

Missing a period is the most obvious sign but there may be others, like sickness, needing to wee more often, tender b*****s, unusual vaginal discharge, tiredness or a metallic taste in your mouth.

You can't tell straight away if a sperm has fertilised an egg. It may take up to a week after s*x for fertilisation to happen. And usually another week or so till your period is late.

What should I do if I think I might be pregnant?

Get tested right away. It's best to have a pregnancy test done by your GP or one of the centres listed below, because it's free, confidential (they won't tell anyone) and expert staff are on hand to give you advice.

Or you could buy a home-testing kit. These are usually very accurate and available from chemists and large supermarkets for a few quid. Read all the instructions and follow them carefully.

If the result is positive see your GP, whatever you plan to do. If the result is negative and you're relieved - see your GP and discuss contraception.

What if I am pregnant?

Tell someone. If you can possibly tell your parents or carers, then do, you might be surprised at how understanding they are even if they're shocked at first.

Always tell your GP who'll keep it totally confidential. GPs are only allowed to break confidentiality if they think you are in danger. You can also speak to staff at any of the centres listed below.

The sooner you tell someone, the more options you'll have for your next move. And the easier it will be to think them through. You won't need to rush to make the right decision.

If you are pregnant then the options you need to consider are: having an abortion, adoption, fostering, or becoming a mother. But get expert advice before making any big decisions.

Pregnancy myths busted:

I can't get pregnant on my period/the first time I have s*x/if I wash afterwards/if he pulls out before he has an o****m. Oh yes you can. And people do.

I have had 'accidents' before and never got pregnant. So I don't need contraception... You've been Lucky (capital L). Take no chances.
