You are not pregnant.  I think  you should make an appointment with your doctor to explain all of this to you.

spotting would just be little spots of blood in your underwear or on the toilet paper when you wipe... not even enough to really need a pad.
I understand your worry (I was pregnant at 15 myself) But I really don't think you are pregnant hun. Relax... I would almost promise you that your period was just late because your cycles haven't regulated yet. How old were you when you started? It took me years for my cycles to get regular.
Now that you know your not pregnant you should talk to your mom about birth control... not only so you won't have to worry about this type of scare again but also to help regulate your periods. But please remember, if you do choose to have sex again, birth control only protects against pregnancy, you still have to use condoms to prevent STD's.

If I remember correctly you thought you could be pg but weren't sure and had gotten a couple neg pg tests right???
If so then I would guess that you have started your period. Unless it is VERY light like just a little bit of spotting then I would think that this would be pretty safe to assume. Most women do not have heavy bleeding in pregnancy.
Are you having cramping too? Does it seem like a normal period??

You should go to the drs and report any sort of bleeding in pregnancy. While it is possible to bleed during pregnancy it is not considered as normal. Get checked out asap.

You will not get your period while pregnant unless you have a very, very rare condition such as a bicornuate or double uterus.

It is possible to bleed while pregnant but this is not common.  It happens in about 25% of women and in half of those women a miscarriage results.  If bleeding is heavy (period like rather than just a little spotting) accompanied by cramps or clots then the outcome is typically not a good one.
