Can high ketones lead to spotting in early pregnancy?
My urine test showed high ketones and im also having very light spotting since yesterday. Im around 7 weeks and not able to eat much due to nausea. Just trying to understand if these two could be connected, im planning to call my doc tomorrow.
Honestly any spotting in early pregnancy I would not ignore, please call your gynac. High ketones usually come from not eating or dehydration and that itself needs attention. Better to get checked than guess online.
Ketones high usually means your body isnt getting enough food or fluids, which happened to me with bad sickness. I am not sure it directly causes spotting though. Please tell your doctor about both things together, she will check properly.
I used to connect every symptom together and scare myself, please dont do that. Two things happening doesnt mean one caused the other. Just ring your doctor and let her look at the full picture, that calmed me down a lot.
When I had ketones in my urine test, my doctor said it was more about my eating and hydration than bleeding. Spotting can have many separate causes in early pregnancy. I would really suggest getting the spotting checked by your gynac directly, dont link it yourself.
