very short period then pinkish brown spotting

My husband and I have only been ttc for 2 months.  I am 30 years old and my period has always been very regular (every 28 days).  This past month I started on the day that I should, but it only last for a day and a half.  It is normally very heavy and lasts 5-6 days.  It stopped for a day and then I got a very light pinkish brown spotting for just a few minutes.  I know there is always a possibility of being pregnant, but I'm not really having any symptoms.  I have had some slight nausea at times, but that is all.  If I were pregnant, I would be about 3 weeks.  What do you think?

Hello,
I'm in a scary situation. On November 9th my bf and I had sex, according to my ovulation calendar just two days before ovulation, in which he finished in me twice. For my following period I had one day of menstrual period (or so it seemed) and the second day was minor spotting.  Now 18 days later when I used the bathroom I wiped very light pink blood. I'm not sure if I'm pregnant, so far I've had two negative hpt. Idk what to do.

I am in like the same cituation. Me and my bf always have unprotected sex. Ok my periods are regular between 7-8 days with likeyou a 26-28 day cycle. Last month I started my period November 9th and ended the 16th and this month and I think I was suppose to start around the 7th. But I started on the 4th and ended on the 8th and the 9th didn't have anything and then the 10th I start bleeding lightly. I've been feeling sick here and vomited once and been smelling these weird yucky smells outta know where. So any information would help knowing my periods were never like this they were always around 7-8 days. I have two daughters and never exsperienced anything like this period. Thanks

Ok so I had 1 depo shot 5 months ago I've been off it now for 2 months.. I'm getting cramps like a period so I thought I may be getting 1.. I only had a brown discharge for 1 day an then a pink discharge for another day.. Then nothing.. Cramps are still there but no period. I understand that it can take a good while to get my periods regular again after the shot but what was this spotting? An I pregnant or is my body just getting back to normal. I've been sexually active for the last 2 months but figured as I haven't had a period I wouldn't be ovulating.

Please don't judge... You all seem like reasonable people so doubt you would but I was seeing a guy for a few months we had sex once maybe twice a week depending on when we were free. It turned out he was just using me and didn't like me I have regrets but its too late for that now. Anyway. We had unprotected everytime and I wernt on contraception. Silly I no. But due to an eating disorder and trying contraception a year ago, I gained weight and now have a fear of it. He wouldn't wear condoms. But I liked him so did what he wanted. My period was due on the 9th july. A week before 3rd july I had pink discharge then brown and then watery bright blood there was enough to wear a pad but it had no clots in and wasn't as painful as a period. This carried on till the 6th july morning but randomly stopped in the afternoon so in total only lasted 3 and a half days. 1st day it was medium and the 2nd day 3rd day it was light and 4th day medium then obvs stopped by afternoon. The next day 7th july I wiped and had 2 tiny spots of blood and the day after that I wiped and there was discharge (pink) 2 times that day then nothing. The day after was the 9th (I was due on my period) I didn't come on just had slight cramping. I've been doctors twice who arnt very helpful have suggested pregnancy and just kept giving me tests which are coming up negative. I am now 3 weeks late today (29th july) I have had sore boobs, mini cramps, back ache,and whity discharge. The smell of garlic makes me heave and some foods are makin me feel sick. I also feel hungover in the mornings. (A friend said wierd dreams cud be pregnancy I have had wierd dreams and remembered them which is unusual for me) I'm really lost at the moment as my periods are usually every few weeks and last for a week (28 cycle) I'm regular. And the period has confused me. I have read about implantation but that says bleeding is light and spotting. I could really do with advice. Has anyone else had this?... I havnt had any stress no life changes to make my period late or irregular. Sorry for long message but importent to give all details. Just hope one of you lovely people can give me some advice as I'm going crazy with worry. My next period is due on the 4th of august (4 days) and I had sex on the 24th june, 28th june, 1st july, 9th july and the 13th july. Thanks for any help xx

About a month ago i had unprotected sex with the same partner I got the std from. My period came a few days earlier but it only lasted 2days with a result of some pinkinsh brownish spotting?

Oct 30 to Nov 2 from day one to day four has been light and very tiny blood clots, at the some time one day 3 I have seen a brownish red  colour on the totilt paper. On day four I was very very light on the totlet paper, I put a new pad on at 6 am on Nov 2 to see if little to none blood goes on the pad and I will check at 4pm to see, that will be 10hours by then. This will be the lightest and the shortest period I ever had. Who know I might be prego. I will take a other hpt when it stops compitely to see, and get my doctor to do a blood test as will. If any one can help me or tell me if this has happen to them and did find out by hpt or blood test please let me know. I am lost and don't know what to do or think.

in the 3-4 days of my period i have only use three pads and i am a really heavy bleeder and i would have used like 6 pads


I was keeping track of my period with an app called my cycles and it said I was to start my period on Oct 23 but I did not get anything till Oct 31 and it was light and very little clots and only last four days when iam 5 days long


I used one of the dollar store pregnancy test and one of them was really really lite line. Two lines is pregnant and the other one was tring to show . I going to try in the morning and on Mon I going to be using clear blue test on Monday I hope it say I am pregnant. Just to keep u up to date.

I have always been regular and have never missed a period unless I was pregnant. I am 23 and have four children by the way. My period was suppose to come on April 6th but instead came on April 12th, almost a full week late! It only lasted for two days was semi regular then just stopped and then I had brownish pink spotting. I took two dollar store hpt's but they came back negative. But I don't know if they were right because with my fourth child I took three hpt's and all came back negative. I also went to my doctor for a preg test and he said nope your not pregnant. Well I kept having morning sickness so a few days later I took another hpt....this time a e.p.t and guess what it said PREGNANT. So I went to my doctor two days later and come to find out I was almost two months pregnant! So do you think I could possibly be pregnant again and the hpt was wrong?

I had spotting pinkish color for two days(1/3/12 Monday, 1/4/12 Tuesday) then on the 3rd day(1/5/12 Thursday) i had a very very light pinkish/brown spot like about the size of a quarter on my pad for another 2 days(1/5/12 THURS,1/6/12 FRI)... Then by Saturday 1/7/12 afternoon it was gone... on Sunday 1/8/12 afternoon my fiance and i had sex and my bleeding came back but its a brown mix pink color on my pad the size of a dime or nickle... he ejaculated inside of me on Sunday 1/8/12 but before it would only be pre-*** which he lets out a whole bunch enough to use as lube... this morning(TUES 1/10/12) i felt nauseated and wanted to throw up but i didn't i just had the feeling... oh and i think i got that bleeding one week before my expected period... can i be pregnant and how far along would i be? p.s i have been pregnant before i have a 5 yr old... my period for December was on the week of DEC 12th 2001 through DEC 16th 2011 and it usually last me 1 week in a half to two weeks.... so i got this bleeding a week in a half before...

This is EXACTLY what is happening to me! I had what I thought was implantation bleeding a week before Christmas 2011....but I wanted to wait a while to take a test, because I had just had an early miscarriage in November, so I'm leary of finding out too soon. Well, I took TWOpreg tests a couple of days ago...and right when I finished taking the second one, I finished urination and blood came out. I guess it's my period....but what bothers me is that it's already starting to become MUCH lighter. I have no idea what the hell my body is doing. It's driving me bonkers! We want another baby so bad, and it just seems like every time I think it's finally happened, it doesn't. UGH! This really *****!

Hello Ladies... I had my period on Nov. 23 which lasted 5 days like normally and I had another on Dec 17 which only lasted 2 days.  After the 2 days I had brownish spotting for a day then it was completely gone.  I am not on BC nor am I trying to get pregnant, however, I have had unprotected before and after regular and irregular periods.  I took 2 HPT and they were both negative but all of a sudden I am very tired and have cravings for sweets ( I am NOT a sweets eater). I am a little confused because my periods are always 5-6 days and come every 26 days...Can someone help me out?  Could I possibly be pregnant?
