A member asked:
Period is regular and now 3 days late. i am now experiencing light period/spotting of really bright pink/light red blood. implantation or miscarriage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A person can't tell: A positive pregnancy test can tell a woman that prior spotting was actually implantation spotting. It can be hard to tell if a woman is pregnant because some of the symptoms seen in early pregnancy can also happen in non-pregnant women. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result about 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period.
