Is it pregnancy if the menstrual flow is light?

Patient's question:

Last month, I had sex with my girlfriend several times without using any protection. This month, my period arrived two days earlier, but the amount was very light. You mentioned that a light period could be a sign of pregnancy. We are both very worried about this issue, and it's difficult to tell if this is bleeding before pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

If the menstrual flow is significantly lower than usual, and during this period you have had sexual intercourse without breastfeeding, it is possible that you may be pregnant. You should take a early pregnancy test to check if there are two positive lines. It is more accurate to use morning urine for the test. During this period, it is important to avoid strenuous activities, staying up late, and overexertion. Use high-quality sanitary pads and maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia at all times.
