Confused period or pregnant ???
Hello doctor, I experienced 3 days of bleeding after taking Meprate, but it was lighter than my normal period and not exactly spotting. On day 6 of my cycle, I noticed pinkish discharge only while wiping. I am also having severe headaches, acne, and sudden crying mood swings. Could this indicate pregnancy?

No symptoms are indicative of pregnacy. You can do urine pregnacy test to confirm.

Hi mostly this indicates hormonal imbalance . But obviously you need a full consultation to come to the exact diagnosis and conculsion. Do a urine pregnancy test and consult for a detailed discussion.

Based on your symptoms, pregnancy is unlikely.
Meprate (medroxyprogesterone) commonly causes withdrawal bleeding, pink/brown discharge, headache, acne, and mood swings due to hormonal changes. Lighter-than-normal bleeding after Meprate is common and does not usually indicate pregnancy.
What to do next:
If there was a chance of unprotected intercourse, you may do a urine pregnancy test after 7–10 days for reassurance.
Symptoms should settle on their own as hormones normalize.
See a gynecologist if bleeding becomes heavy, symptoms worsen, or cycles remain irregular.
This appears to be a medication-related hormonal effect, not pregnancy.
