My period is late and I've been having some light spotting, which is unusual for me. I'm confused if this means my period is coming, or if it could be something else. Is this period or pregnancy?
Sometimes light spotting can be implantation bleeding, which is a very early sign of pregnancy. I had it with my little one who is now breastfed, it was much lighter than a normal period.
My mother always told me that if the bleeding is very light and stops in a day, it could be 'implantation'. But to be absolutely sure, it is best to consult your doctor and do a urine test.
A period will have a proper heavy flow and cramps, whereas pregnancy spotting is very light and brief. If you are confused, just wait 2 days and do a home test, it's that simple.
Well, one comes with cramps and pads, and the other comes with 9 months of no periods but a lifetime of no sleep! Do a quick test to solve the mystery.
