Missed period last month & spotting this month

[xshantel12]

Hey everyone,
So write now I'm really scared that I might be pregnant . I didn't get my period for the entire month of November , but I do have irregular periods but I haven't missed a period in a while . Then the beginning of this month , I started spotting for 6 days straight , I still am & now I'm having back pains . When I do get my period , it usually starts on the 9th - 11th , but I'm not sure why I started spotting a week before my period is due & why I'm still spotting .

Sounds like a good plan. There are other reasons for missing a period other than pregnancy, and getting checked out is never a bad thing. It's always good to get a dr's opinion, the worst that can happen is he/she tell you nothing's wrong.

I just took a pregnancy test & it came back negative . So I'm not understanding my missed period in November & the spotting this month . I'm going to wait & see if my period comes within the next few days & if it doesn't , I'm going to the doctor

I would wait until the 12th, that way you know you're late for December, and you should get a more accurate result. Since you already missed Nov, if you get a negative I'd give the dr a call, there's more reasons besides just pregnancy to miss periods and it's best to get checked out.

My period usually comes around the 9th - 11th , should I take a pregnancy test today ?

If you've been having sex you could be pregnant, or it could just be you're having a weird month. Take a test when your period is due if you think you are prengnant.
