What are the early signs and symptoms of pregnancy?
Patient: I have all signs of pregnancy. I was one week late for my period. Yesterday should have been the end of my period and I started to spot very light red blood. Not enough for a pad. Something happened today. Could I still be pregnant even though I am spotting? Doctor: Hi,   I understand your concern. Pregnancy test ( home test after 8 days delay in periods ) or USG scan of uterus( after 5 weeks )are the confirmatory tests for pregnancy.    You have just spotting after 8 days delay in periods .. This can be a sign in weak pregnancy so you should go for home pregnancy test ( with precaution.. not to mix vaginal blood in urine sample ).. to diagnose / exclude pregnancy.    In case it 's +ve.. a hormone supplement ( with a gynecologist's advise ) should be started right away6.    Thanks.
