A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's : It's possible, but unlikely if you actually had your regular period. If your period was short or lighter than usual, then pregnancy may be a possibility. The only way to tell whether you are pregnant or not is to take a pregnancy test. As doctors, the first thing we do when we hear a woman is having a light or missed period or abnormal spotting, we check a pregnancy test. You can either take a home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come.
