I’m confused and wonder if you could lend some advice or your own thoughts on the differences that you have experienced on this topic.
I have regular cycles around 27 days (sometimes 26). My menstruation typically starts light and is super heavy the second day (red in color). It typically lasts 4-5 days. On day 12 of my cycle I have a positive OFK and subsequently had intercourse. I either ovulated on day 13 or 14 so today would be around CD 11. Yesterday morning, I started with a very bright colored blood and then experienced nothing until later in the afternoon. Later it was more and I had some cramping. I used a tampon b/c I did not have pads. That night it was only on one side. Two different times I had a drop on my underwear. Overnight it did not fill half the tampon. Today was the same thing. In fact after six hours and then checking the tampon, it was filled about half way, but my guess is that it was not soaked all the way through. The color is not the same as usual, but it seems like I shouldn’t have that much blood b/c what I read says “spotting”. Typically, today I would be really heavy and it is about half that. It is also three or four days prior to my period so I am confused. It feels like a period, but I am unsure because of the bright color and amount. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi, I am a little confused. I wasn't suppose to start my period until around the 10th, but I started on the 5th. It wasn't very heavy at all on the 5th. The 6th i had to work that morning and before I left for work i put a pad on well during my break I went to the bathroom and when i looked at the pad it was dark and brown not the slightest bit red. Well later after I got off work I noticed that It seemed to have been stopping because when I wiped the blood was a faint pink color. Then on the 7th there was no blood at all. I went to school on the 8th and still no blood. But when I woke up this morning on the 9th there was a faint pink spotting blood but now it has stopped again. This is very different from my other periods they are usually very heavy and not the slightest bit brown. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex around the 20th and 21st of September. So is this just an odd period or am I experiencing symptoms of pregnancy?

It sounds like it could be implantation bleeding. So, there may be a chance that you are pregnant. Hope this helps!

Hello. I have two kids already and both pregnancies i bled every month like a period. I would get false negatives and positives on hpt and at dr office. So I have blood test done and it would show prego. I had my iud taken out beginning of august and had a few days of heavy bleeding. Me and my hisband had sex a few times around Sept 6-10. Now I'm a week late and one day i had brown when I wiped, then 2 days later light pink when I wiped only nothin in toilet. It's been like that two times in last week. Then.today I got up and bright red blood in toilet and when I wiped. But no more bleeding since. I have several symptoms I don't normally get.when its that time of month and I've had 1 positive and 2 negative hpt. Should I go get a blood test done or wait another week n see?

I have a question I had my tubal done last aug. but the only time I experienced what I did last month was when I was pregnant. I have a 20 day cycle and got my period on Aug. 30 it was dark brown and almost nothing filled about a quarter of a pad from 800pm till 700 the next morning and then only when I wiped that day and the next morning there was nothing else and now I'm late am I crazy or can I be pregnant. I haven't taken the test yet because that would make me feel crazier. I have also had severe fatigue, slight nausia, no vomiting, but lots of extra peeing. If not pregnant do you have any ideas?
