A member asked:

I have very light faded bleeding and that is unusual from my regular irregular period. it only shows when i wipe should i still take a pregnancy test?

Always: If you have an abnormal period or a late period and you are sexually active, pregnancy should always be in the back of your mind as a possible consideration. Pregnancy tests are fast and accurate and will give you the information you are seeking within minutes. Best of luck!
