A member asked:

My period is suppose to start today. but it was really light lighter than normal could i possibly be pregnant if my boyfriend didn't pull out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A missed period or a very light period can both be a sign of pregnancy. Usually a pregnancy test will be positive by the time of the missed/light period or soon after, if you are pregnant.
