If i took a ua dipstick showed a small trace of blood everything else was fine.. my period is about to come on soon could that be the cause of it..

Depends on the reaso: It could be contamination of urine from period(even though you didn't get it full yet). Why did you dip urine? If you have pain with urination, frequency- it could be UTI
