Trying to conceive. Have slight bleeding, spotting, past ovulation. What is wrong?
Patient: Hi my period is due in 3 days. Me and my husband are trying for a kid, for the past 7 months but with no luck. This month also we had regular sex every other day. Yesterday soon after intercourse I had a slight bleeding or rather spotting (it could be some 13 or 14 days past ovulation now, not sure). Is there anything to worry about. Doctor: Hi,There should be nothing to worry about, just wait for your period and if you miss it go for a pregnancy test with a fresh early morning sample of urine, 3-7 days after the missed period. If pregnancy is confirmed, it could be an implantation bleed; if not, it is the premenstrual spotting. If you wish for an earlier confirmation, you can get serum beta-hCG assay as it is more sensitive and specific. Hope this helps.
