I have weird symptoms such as spotting, mood swings, heartburn, slight headaches, a warm feeling, and my breasts were producing a little bit of watery colostrum. Could I actually be pregnant?

I had a period on July 24th, but it was very weird. I was spotting for 1 day (I never spot until the end of my period), then for 2 days it seemed pretty heavy but watery, then I spotted for about 3 days. After this was complete, about 12 days after my period started, I was spotting for about 2 or 3 days. I also had very mild cramps and lower back pain. Once again, I have regular periods and I never spot between them. I have also been sleeping alot and kinda moody. Yesterday Aug. the 11th I noticed a tiny wet spot near my nipple, when I lifted up my shirt and lightly squeezed my nipple a couple drops of watery colostrum came out. I have also had heartburn for a few days. Any food can trigger it. It seems impossible to be pregnant so soon after having a period, but my mother had a similar situation when she was pregnant with her 2nd child. My husband and I have been trying for about 5 months now. I apologize for being so detailed...I am just puzzled. Could I actually be pregnant?

Hi, The usual signs of early pregnancy may include: a missed period, frequent urination, fatigue, morning sickness, nausea or vomiting, implantation bleeding and sore breasts. A pregnancy test usually confirms if you are pregnant or not. Some women have a small amount of vaginal bleeding around 11 or 12 days after conception The bleeding may be caused by the implantation of the fertilized egg in the uterus and lasts only a day or two. If the pregnancy test indicates a negative result, a visit to your doctor may be helpful. The stress you've been going through for the past 5 months may alter your hormonal balance. This could lead to the nipple discharge and for the mood swings you have been experiencing. Take care and regards.
