A member asked:

I have spotting but it was only 1 day and then stopped and this morning very light pink blood was on my toilet paper after wiping is this normal? is it due to pregnancy ? or something worse

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to guess: 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 (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period.
