I am 7 days late for my period with brownish spotting that started at6 days late. i have pinching pain by my hip. can i be pregnant? i am trying.

If worried, do test: 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 if done correctly. One can test about 3 weeks after sex (when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. An ob-gyn doctor can evaluate any persistent or worrisome symptoms.
