Is abnormal period a sign of pregnancy?

Question

My period has been really light and different this month, almost like spotting instead of a proper flow. Could an abnormal period be a sign of early pregnancy? I'm feeling a bit confused.

Don't keep guessing, just buy a pregnancy test kit from the chemist and check tomorrow morning with your first urine. Simple and cheap solution!

I had a very weird, scanty period before I found out I was pregnant. Did anyone else have this kind of implantation spotting?

Bhavna Prasad · Answer

An abnormal period or light spotting can sometimes be an early pregnancy sign, but it can also be due to hormonal issues. The best way to know is a home urine test, and consult a doctor if it continues.

I had what I thought was a very light, weird period, but then my intense pickle cravings started and I tested positive! Better do a test to confirm.

Beta, irregular periods can happen due to stress or body heat too. Drink some warm milk, take proper rest, and do a home test to check properly.
