A member asked:

My period was a wk late, when it came was reg. flow for a day and then spotted for several days after, could i be pregnant or miscarrying?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes preg possible: Any abnormal bleed ( late/early/ lighter/ heavier / different flow pattern or new pain pattern should prompt a pregnancy test. If a blood pregnancy test is negative , a pregnancy is not the cause. Any positive blood pregnancy test must be rechecked with a doctor to ensure: normal pregnancy or miscarriage or tubal pregnancy.
