HER QUESTION:

hi, im wondering if you can help? i had a very short period from friday to sunday wasnt really much of a period to be honest and it was a couple of days late the following on the monday i had nauseas on and off all day long id feel like i was going to throw up but never did (this would come on really strong then ease off again continuously through out the day). On the tuesday i experienced this for a short while in the morning i also noticed that day very light pink spotting only when i wiped this continued over to wednesday and ever so slightly thursday morning. can anyone help me determine exactly what this could be?

OUR ANSWER:

Without knowing exactly what you mean about “not much of a period” If there was slight bleeding or heavy spotting then it is likely you are or were pregnant and your body is not sure if it can hold on to it. This means that that most likely the spotting, unfortunately could be the beginning of a miscarriage. Progesterone cream may help you to maintain pregnancy by building up the endometrial lining for implantation.
