A member asked:

My period was late by five day and my flow is currently very light since it started and my pregnancy test came out negative , what can be happening ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: However, there are women who have a slight or abnormal period after conception. Wait a while and repeat your pregnancy test = particularly if you miss your next period.
