Hello, I've Been Having Strange Period Like Spotting...
Posted: 02-17-07 01:21am

Hello, I would like opinions please. I was a week or so late for my period, then began light spotting. Ususally I have very heavy periods and bad cramps, but I didn't really even cramp.

It's been two weeks since I stopped having that period, and i'm lighlty spotting again. This time i'm feeling tired and sick, though the cramping isn't too bad. I'm bleeding even less then before though, only a slight tinge.

I want to know if anyone thinks this is a sign of pregnany or if i'm being paranoid. I don't want to alarm anyone if it's not needed.

Having a period is .N.O.T usually a sign of pregnancy. What contraception are you using?

Well, i'm n.O.T using any kind of contraception at the moment. I didn't feel as though this was a period, because the blood was brown at the begining, the way it usually is at the end of your period. It lasted only 4 days.

Now, it has been two weeks since, and i've started spotting very lightly, it's a light pink, not enough to wear a pad or tampon for, but visible. I was worried if this is something serious or maybe I could be pregnant.

I didn't even think of it as being a possible pregnancy, then my friend told me she had spotting when she found out she was pregnant.

I am not on birth control, so that is not what is causing it.

Instead of worrying just do a pregnancy test! It's the only way to rule pregnancy out.
Now bare with me as I may be way off here, but I think that it's possible that brown blood at the beginning of your period could just be leftover blood from your last period, but I don't remember where I heard that and if it's right.
If you don't want to get pregnant try some contraception, but in the mean time just do a test at home or go to the doc!
Good luck.

I think it could possibly be pregnancy since you don't use contraception. Spotting is a symptom for some women when they concieve. It's called implantation bleeding. Good luck, let me know what happens!
