Irregular vaginal bleeding
Posted: 12-30-06 11:10am

I started using tampons with my last period which was the 16th of Nov, but during that time my period wasn't normal, it would go off and on, for several days.

I was supposed to have my next period on 14th Dec but I didn't and now it's the 29th and 30th Dec and there's a little spotting, I don't know if I'm pregnant or not?

If you are already late then take a home pregnancy test.
Be sure to follow the instructions in the pack carefully and use your first morning urine as this is usually more concentrated.

Irregular vaginal bleeding (spotting or menorrhea) is not a sign of pregnancy. Irregular spotting could be the result of a hormonal imbalance (functional bleeding) or due to an organic lesion of the reproductive system (infections or tumors). You can take o a home pregnancy test to exclude pregnancy but you will HAVE TO visit your gynecologist to establish a correct diagnosis and start proper treatment.
