I spotted 2 weeks before my period...what does that mean??

Hi there,
  Just was wondering if anyone could answer this question for me??  
  My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, and each and every month we are disappointed.  My question is this. What does it mean when I spot about 9-10 days before my actual period??  I have not tried using any calendars..or anything like that. I just count the days and go from there.  Could I be pregnant??  I have no other syptoms...I am tired but that is nothing unusal.
  Now this spotting was brownish in colour and it was more on the toilet paper then on the sanitary napkin.  I feel really stupid asking these questions...but I guess it is how we learn.  Also the spotting happened for one day then nothing the next, then it happened for 2 days after that...then nothing...could it just be my period early...or WHAT??  LOL LOL....I am 32 and my husband is 40, so we are really wanting a baby...please feel free to write me at ***@****.  I would really appreciate any help, advice...and please remember I dont not know of other techniques then the 14 day after is the best day method...
Thanks for all that read and can help

I am in a similar situation, I have one son already however I had him quite young and now 6 years later am ready for more and I have since been diagnosed with PCOS, IR and Endometriosis. This is my first cycle of clomid and I know I have definately ovulated about a week ago, ( i used OPK), and now 6 days before AF due I have had slight spotting only lasting a day.
My concerns are if I'm not pregnant how will i know if it's implantation or AF next time so that I can restart clomid....very confusing I know..I am finding it very hard to wait theamount of time to take hpt. I am hoping the bleeding i had was implantation bleeding...what does everyone think?

I have been having a normal peiod for a while now but recently i went for  a pap and after my pelvic exam my doctor had blood on his hands if this was my period it would have been 3 weeks early.. the blood never stained my underwear but did  coe out wehn i wiped after going to the bathroom.  This lasted for 5 days then i asked my dr if it could be my period he said it probably is so i began teh uv ring which i was planning on beginning anyway... i inserted the ring on mon the 31st and have been bleeding eversince so I basicall have been bleeding for  16 days streight... it is not like  aregular flow although it does stain at times.. and other times its just there after i wipe... i made an appointment with my gyn but i am concerned what do u think it could be?  I have breast tenderness and am swollen in my lower abdomin.

My husband and I have been trying for over 6 months ot have a baby, and nothing yet. This month I felt like for sure (just a feeling, no actual signs except tiredness) that I was pregnant. I have an irregular cycle, but it usually varies from 30-35 days. This month my period or slight bleeding occured on the 27th day. I am confused about if this is my period, or implantation bleeding? I took a pregnancy test, and it came out negative. I dont want to get my hopes up, but curious as to if this is my period, or am I pregnant but too soon to tell?? I need some answers please... I hate the waiting game. Thanks so much in advance, hear from you soon...

I was searching the internet looking for an answer to my spotty bleeding about 2 weeks before my period, and most answers are coming down to pregnancy. I'm not even close to ready when it comes to having children. Plus, I'm on birth control. I just want to know if stress could also cause this.(?) I'm from Louisiana, and we just got through hurricane Gustav. So hopefully this is just my body freaking out over what's going on.

Can anyone answer my question about it possibly being stress? If so, please e-mail me, adrienne.***@****
