Q: I am 28 years old. I had my last period on 5th May 02. I did pregnancy test 2-3 days after missing my periods but it was negative. On 20th june I had slight brownish spotting, only once. Sometimes I have lower abdomen pains. Also, I have quite a lot of vaginal disharge, which is not thick and foul smelling. My cycle was normally 28-29 days. I have not had my periods yet. There are no other symptoms. Can I be pregnant or it is something else.

A:You need to do a beta hCG test on your blood and if it is negative for pregnancy just see a gynaecologist for the discharge if it is bothering you. Your period may have been scanty only this cycle and if it reverts back to normal next cycle then you need to do nothing more.
