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?

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?
