Could I be pregnant?
I'm 33 years old and my husband and I have been trying to have a second child for awhile now. I'm 12 days late, but I've taken two hpt and both are negative. (Last one I took two nights ago) Then yesterday morning I had a light red/pink discharge on the paper when I went to the bathroom but none on my panties. This went on all day getting lighter and lighter until it stopped all together. Today this has happened three times but very faint and only on the paper. Could I be pregnant?
After three days of spotting my period began to flow more normally, however is lasted eleven days. (My period is normal 6 to 7 days at the most.) The last few days went back to spotting like in the first three days. I've made an appointment with my OBGyn, however it is not until Feb. 6Th. Until then I'm going to do my best not to worry and pay close attention to my body's signals. Thank you for your help. Any information is very welcomed.

Hello,
Bleeding which is pinkish or brownish in color and more like spotting rather than menstruation is implantation bleeding which occurs when the fertilized ovum implants in the lining of the uterus. It can also be due to brownish spotting due to corpus luteum defect in early pregnancy which requires supplementation of progesterone hormone.
Hence the status of pregnancy should be ascertained.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
