Can I bleed for 3 days and still be pregnant?

Only about a third of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding after they get pregnant, but it's considered a normal symptom of pregnancy.

It is possible to experience some bleeding during early pregnancy, which might be mistaken for a short period. This bleeding can last a few days and is often lighter than a normal menstrual period. However, bleeding during pregnancy should always be discussed with a healthcare provider to rule out any complications.
Key points to consider:
- Implantation bleeding: This can occur around the time the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus and may last a few days.
- Early pregnancy spotting: Some women experience light bleeding or spotting in early pregnancy.
- When to seek medical advice: If bleeding is heavy, accompanied by pain, or if you have concerns, consult a doctor promptly.
If you suspect you might be pregnant and are experiencing bleeding, taking a pregnancy test and consulting your healthcare provider is important for proper evaluation and care.

View allI'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend, I gave her Unwanted 72. An hour later, she started having a headache. She felt better the next day, but then in the afternoon, her head began hurting again, this time not as bad. However, by nighttime, the pain got really intense. Could this be a side effect of the pill? What should I do to help her feel better?
Your girlfriend may be experiencing a side effect of Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill. Headache is a common side effect of this medication. To help alleviate the headache, she can take a pain reliever such as Paracetamol (e.g. Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the headache persists or becomes severe, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking at my medical report and it says that my endometrial cavity is empty. I'm not really sure what that means. Could you explain it to me? Should I be concerned about this?

I've done a beta hcg test because my periods are late, and the result came back as 0.861 mIUmL. I'm confused about whether this is positive or negative, as my doctor mentioned it should be above 5 mIUmL. Why might this low value show up? I'm really stressed about it and could use some help understanding what's going on.
These are Hormonal Fluctuations so the result is negative for pregnancy. Typically: Non-pregnant levels: < 5 mIUmL. Positive for pregnancy: 5 mIUmL. Low beta hCG can sometimes appear in women of reproductive age, but it doesnt indicate pregnancy.
