Menopause/Pregnancy/Periods?

Hi, I got my period on Sunday but although I have the cramps and back ache etc, very very little blood - in fact hardly any at all am 38 and wondering whether my periods are slowing down or whether I might even be pregnant - should I do a pregnancy test? I am on the contraceptive pill and am dreading the thought of approaching menopause this early! Any ideas? Thanks for reading ... x

what's implantation bleeding?
thanks for your helpful and kind replies x

I would definately do a pregnancy test as a very mild period can be implantation bleeding. 38 would be very young to start menopause so hopefully thats not it.

*edit* implantation bleeding is like a very small period some women get when pregnant. Its caused by the egg burrowing into the uterus.

Unfortunately with menopause it is usually the opposite. You usually start bleeding more and longer. I wouldsay that you could be pregnant and I would do a test. What are you waiting for? They are only a dollar at the dollar store. You are young. But the pills may also be messing up your body. Get off of them and use a natural method.

I would go to the doctor or take a home pregnancy test as i was taking the contraceptive pill religiously and i still became pregnant, even with perfect use it still fails for some of us ;)

Good luck and i hope you get the result you want

why don't you ask your doctor?
