Hello. I was supposed to get my period today and when I thought I did it was very light. I went to the bathroom again a couple hours later and there was no blood. Went again and I m spotting very light. I ve been hungry all the time and never seem to get full but when I do get full I m hungry again like an hour later. I ve been having back pain and hip pain. Could I be pregnant?
