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?

so i'm very concerned...

my last period was on june 23rd. my bf and i had sex about a week after, but we thought we were safe. 2 weeks later, i was experiencing pregnancy symptoms: i was nauseous, i vomitted about 4 times that week, i was always hungry, and i was constipated. i was really scared that i was pregnant because all the signs were showing that i could be pregnant (or is it too early to have these pregnancy symptoms at this time?). then on july 21st, i started bleeding with cramping. i was relieved that it was heavy bleeding (really hoping that it was my period), but then it lasted only 2 days. my normal cycle is about 5-7 days of heavy bleeding. now, i'm just spotting. i've read that implantation bleeding is not heavy, but light and pinkish/brown, so i ruled that out as a possibility. is it possible that i really am pregnant and to have pregnancy symptoms so early? even today, i vomitted and felt nauseous. i'm really scared that i'm pregnant...

can anyone help please?

Hello all..I am hoping to find some answers here.  I had my tubes tied two years ago after a c-section and I have been on time every month for my period.  Last week I had some dark brown spotting, only when I wiped, my fiancee and I had intercourse since then and now no period.  I should be two days into it already and I normally have a very strong flow the 1 & 2 day. I am bloated, had the pms emotional symptons but no cramping.  My bowels have been moving more in the last few days and I have had headaches everyday.  I got a massage yesterday and about fainted when I got up off the table.  My appetite is diminished, I feel "full".  I have three children and none of their pregnancies felt this way, other than the fullness feeling. Anyone had this happen?
