Bleeding: Hi, I'm not sure but you can check a home pregnancy test if you are worried about pregnancy, what it's interesting to me is to know if you have Colitis or you have endometriosis inside your colon, a question to ask ur treating doctor but I'm sure a biopsy of ur colon has been done.

Could be: or it could be that your period has just come early or perhaps your colitis could be going into remission! Time will tell! If you think you may be pregnant, just wait a few weeks before taking a home pregnancy test. If you take it now it will most likely be negative because it's too soon for your HCG levels to rise. Home pregnancy tests are not 99% accurate until your first missed period.
