is it spotting or my period?

I've been experiencing slight spotting for about 5-6 days. I'm wondering if it was a really light period or could I be pregnant or what?

My last Period was May 18th.
I had protected (condom) sex May 29th.
Ovulation should have been around June 4th.
I had a Pap Smear & Pelvic Exam June 10th.
I started spotting  June 11th.
I spotted for about 5-6 days.
My period was due June 17th.
Took Pregnancy Tests June 17th & 18th- both negative.

I started having slight cramps like a period with the spotting also.

I've been super stressed lately, and I am underweight anyways- high metabolism- and haven't been eating right, which has caused me to miss a period before, but not for a while.

Just need some opinions of what you think might be going on? I'm still experiencing cramping like my period is still here or ready to start.

Should I be concerned about pregnancy? Or do you think it's just a early abnormal period?

My opinion is that the pap may have caused you to start your period. I have always had abnormal bleeding and I bleed after every pap test. Maybe it will go away soon and you will have normal period next month.

Well, Stress alone can do all sorts of things to the human body, I know I've heard it can mess w/ your periods and stuff but to be honest, I was takeing preg. test after preg. test and they all come back neg. but I found out about a month later after I quit bothering with the test and found out that I was 7 weeks and 4 days preg. and I had spotted while I was apparently preg. so you might wanna take a few more test but wait a week or two be4 you do just to be on the safe side. Good luck
