Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 24-year-old married woman, who is trying to get pregnant. We had sexual intercourse on the first week of the month. My period was due at the same time. But I had only slight spotting. Could I be pregnant?

Thank you.

Hi,

I welcome you to icliniq.com with a loving heart and with confidence that I will be able to help you with your medical issues better.

I understand that you are very keen on getting pregnant. If your bleeding has not been normal, there are chances that you could be pregnant. You can do urine pregnancy tests to confirm this. However, a blood test would be better. I suggest to see a doctor with the results and continue your folic acid supplements.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
