Not sure if I am having irregular periods or if I might be pregnant. Is it possible to have red bleeding and be pregnant?

Red bleeding is possible during pregnancy, but not common. The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. Use first morning urine for the most accurate results. Do not drink anything prior to your test as this may dilute your urine. If it is negative, repeat the test every two weeks until you have a normal period or a positive test result.

You may also want to see a medical provider to determine the cause of your irregular periods. If you do not wish to be pregnant, they can also talk with you about your contraceptive options and help you choose a method that would both prevent pregnancy and regulate your periods. If you are attempting pregnancy, they can assess your health, discuss your lifestyle, and recommend healthy behaviors to help ensure a healthy pregnancy and a positive pregnancy outcome.

If you don’t have a regular medical care provider and you live near one of our offices, please call us for an appointment.
