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:

  1. Implantation bleeding: This can occur around the time the fertilized egg attaches to the uterus and may last a few days.
  2. Early pregnancy spotting: Some women experience light bleeding or spotting in early pregnancy.
  3. 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.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. My husband has been getting treatment for lymph node tuberculosis for the past 9 months, but he stopped the medication 10 days ago and seems to be better now. We've been married for a year and I've been wondering if it's okay to try to conceive during his TB treatment. Now my period's late and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. Is there a risk with his recent medication, or is it safe for us to start planning for a baby?

It's generally safe to conceive if your husband has completed treatment for lymph node TB and is cured. If he was still on medication, it might have been advisable to consult your doctor for guidance. Since your periods are delayed, take a pregnancy test to confirm, and consult your gynecologist for further advice.
