Prolonged menstruation (menorrhagya) and
intermenstrual bleeding
(metrorrhagia-spotting) are not signs of
pregnancy. A negative pregnancy test
confirms that you are not pregnancy. A
prolonged period and spotting can be due
to functional or organic reasons.
Functional reasons include hormonal
disturbances. Organic reasons could
include tumors, infections, endometriosis
etc. You SHOULD visit your gynecologist
for a consultation and to seek a
diagnosis.
