What risks are involved if you douched before you knew you were pregnant and why would you be spotting at 5 weeks?

The risks of douching during pregnancy do exist but most of the risks can be treated should they arise.
Douching upsets the normal balance of microorganisms and pH levels in the vagina and can lead to bacterial vaginosis (BV), a serious vaginal infection, and even preterm birth. It can also force air into the vagina, which can also be dangerous to the pregnancy.
In other words, make sure you add this to your discussion with your OB/GYN. He or she will want to be aware of what may have caused any of these issues if they happen to you. From here on out, be sure of no more douching until at least six weeks post partum.
As for spotting, this is considered vaginal bleeding and is actually very common in early pregnancy. Any number of things could be causing this, both the serious, and not-so-serious (usually less serious). She is probably experiencing implantation bleeding or decidual bleeding. In any case, keep your senses alive and note any strange odors, colors, passage of tissue (and if so, try to save it in a jar), and other concurrent symptoms like pains or headaches or fevers. All of these need reported to your doctor as your doctor will want to evaluate it and determine the cause. Often times, the cause can't be determined, but that just means it's probably not serious at all.

Why are you spotting before and after my period?
your pregnant
Is spotting right before your period mean that your are not pregnant?
No. Spotting can occur during pregnancy.
If you have spotting a day before your period is due you have never had spotting before could you be pregnant?
Spotting before you get a heavier flow is very normal...If you are normally like clockwork and you only have spotting and do not get a regular flo within the next 3-4 days then it is very possible that you are pregnant and that the spotting is implantation bleeding.
What if spotting came before your period does that mean that you might be pregnant?
Spotting is pretty much like what it sounds like, its a very light bleed it can happen for many reasons, it could be the implantation, the start of a miscarriage, a rupture in the placenta, plus ther are many other reason's for spotting sometimes just no reason.If it happens right before your period then yes you are probably pregnant.Because if it is the starting of a miscarriage... well, when your pregnant you don't get your period and when theres a miscarriage then theres no more baby so miscarriage before period could mean your pregnant cause its backwards than when your pregnant your pregnant you get your period your not pregnant!so the backwards way is no baby then period so then pregnant. so theres your answer POOPING DURING SPOTTING MEANS YOU MIGHT BE CONSTAPATED WHEN YOUR DONE YOUR SPOTTING. SO IF YOUR SPOTTING AND YOU TAKE A POOP JUST TO LET YOU KNOW ITS NOT NORMAL GO TO THE DOCTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
What could cause spotting 11 days before your period is due?
Implantation bleeding = you are pregnant!
2weeks ago before your period you had spotting now im bleeding again can you be pregnant?
It depends on the person. I personally don't think your pregnant
You were spotting before you took your pregnancy test and then it came out positive does that mean that you are pregnant?
Most probably YES
Is spotting before your missed period mean your pregnant?
Not necessarily. Spotting can be caused by a variety of issues, including stress, but also including pregnancy. If you suspect you may be pregnant, you should definitely take a test and visit a gynecologist to be sure. Even if you don't have reason to believe you may be pregnant, spotting is something your gynecologist should be made aware of and can help you with.
Had about 5 days of light medium spotting about 3 days before expected period could you be pregnant ive been ttc for months already can anyone answer did anyone experience this and was actually preg?
yes I did in my last pregnany and I thought it was a very, very light period but infact I was pregnant. I had spotting all throughout that pregnany too - so if you are pregnant do not be alarmed if you have more spotting - before this happened to me i had never heard of it before but apparently it is quite common. However now I am trying to get pregnant again and I spot 3-5 days before my period really starts which is frustrating as I dont know if I am just spotting like last time or it is actually a period.
How long should spotting happen before you get checked when your pregnant?
If you are worried contact your dr right away.If the spotting becomes heavy or bright red contact your dr or go to the ER immediately.
You have the implanon birth control which 99 effective but your period is 2 weeks late and ive been having some brownish red spotting on and off could you still be pregnant I've had spotting before wh?
Spotting and irregular periods are side effects of the implant. If you still think you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test.
Can you be pregnant if you have had flu like symptoms and are experiencing spotting ten days before your period is due?
It is very possible. The spotting could be a result of implantation bleeding which can occur as soon as 7 days after conception. Good luck!
