Is Light Bleeding a Sign of Pregnancy?

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

On October 16th, I had a brief sexual encounter with my girlfriend. I did not ejaculate, but there was pre-ejaculate. Afterward, we engaged in manual sex, and she cleaned her vaginal area afterward. She was concerned about the possibility of sperm entering the vagina, so she took Unwanted 72 on October 17th. She took a home pregnancy test on October 25th, and it was negative. Now, on October 28th, she is experiencing light bleeding, which is not as heavy as her usual period. Could this be implantation bleeding, or is she pregnant?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

It would be best to get a scan and a urine pregnancy test done to confirm whether or not she is pregnant. The scan will help provide more clarity, and the pregnancy test will give a more accurate result.

 

Thanks
