It's not possible to identify whether you were experiencing your period or another type of bleeding (metrorrhagia). Irregular bleeding is definitely not a sign of pregnancy which has been confirmed by a negative pregnancy. You may visit your gynecologist to identify the true reason for this irregular bleeding. You'll want to ask the questions, "Is the metorrhagia due to a hormonal disorder (functional bleeding) or to an infection, tumors, etc…?"
