A member asked:

My period was 3 weeks late i started it this morning but all it is is spots what does this mean?

Possible: It's always possible to get pregnant. Home pregnanccy tests generally do not become positive until you are about one week late. If that test is negative, repeat it in one week and call your doctor.
