I have had bleeding for about 5 days now, but it is 2 weeks before I am supposed to get my period.This is very unusual for me, I have always had a regular period, which is why I'm so concerned! I have had some back pain and lower abdomon pain, but nothing terrible.My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years and have been sexually active for a lot of the time. Could I be pregnant?! Help please!

Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms Answer A29275
Hello,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am glad to help you out.From the description of your symptoms, you seem to be suffering from intermenstrual bleeding. It could be due to several causes.

Firstly, you should get urine for pregnancy test done to rule out miscarriage as the cause of bleeding if you had unprotected sexual intercourse prior to that. Other causes which need to be looked into are fluctuation in hormone levels, hypothyroidism & fibroid in the uterus. It could also be due to a genital infection, cervical polyps or ectopic pregnancy.

You should consult a gynecologist for the diagnosis and treatment as without examination, confirmation of diagnosis is difficult.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
