A member asked:

Five days late , brownish pink spotting with mild cramping could i be pregnant ? should i take a pregnancy test

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is time do to a home pregnancy test. If it is negative, re do it in 3-4 days if you do not get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
