A member asked:

Is heavy cramping and light bleeding during a supposed period a sign of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Periods can at times be unpredictable or there may be something else involved. If urinating difficulties or changes it could be a uti. That's not to say there is no pregnancy, get a pregnancy test if concerned. Good luck.
