Hi, Im 20 years old and really need a 2nd opinion..Last month my cycle came on late and it was not a normal flow...normal meaning as usually blood clots and the lining is empited but not this time. Seems like I had more a watery blood flow and it last for about 3days and then for about 3 more days I spotted dark brown blood.after that 3rd day of spotting, I wiped and it was fresh red blood, wiped again it was gone. Now 2 weeks later, I have not been feeling like myself, my stomach is bloated, i have gain a little weight i feel full and it feels like i may have a uti. idk whats going on?!? Also about 2 days ago i woke up went to the bathroom, wiped  there was fresh red blood, wiped again it was a little blood and pink whitish discharge and then it was gone. Could I be pregnant? took 2 pt the day the last spotting occured both were negative! HELP

Hi and thanks for using the forum.

You didn't give me specific dates in your post, but it is possible that you took the pregnancy test too soon.  It is best to wait to test until you have missed a period.  Once you have missed your next period, then I would say to take a test.  Also, it is not uncommon to have an irregular period now and then so this could just be that.  I would wait it out and see what happens.   IF you period does not come this month and your pregnancy test is negative, then call  your Ob/gyn for an appointment to see what is going on.  If you get your period, then I would guess that this was just an irregular month.  If the test is positive, congratulations and make an appointment to see your ob/gyn.  Good luck.

Yes, I would wait and see if you miss a period on the 21st.  IF you miss your period, you can test and see what happens.  If it is negative, you could call you ob/gyn to schedule an appointment to be sure that nothing else is going on.  They can give you medication to start your period as well.  If you are trying to conceive, and your test is negative, then you definitely need to see your doctor since you would want to be sure that you are ovulating and irrgular periods make it a little harder to get pregnant.  Good luck.

Hi Bridget, Thanks for responding. For more specific dates last cycle was 7/28/2011-7/27/2011. So my next cycle should come on the 21st of this month. Which means i have spotted 2 weeks early. Should I wait til missed period to test again?
