I am 32 and have 3 children. I am not on any birth control and my periods are always on a 28 day cycle. They are always heavy with a lot of clotting and last between 4-6 days. On 4/2/12 I started what I figured was my period but it was really light. My husband and I also had sex the same day with a possibility of an "oops." I prepared for a heavy flow with a pad and it didn't get anything on it all day. I only had blood when I wiped. It wasn't as light as spotting but I have never had such a light period. The next morning it was pinkish brown when I wiped. Halfway through the day it was completely gone. I never had that happen before. I did a bunch of searching online and it sounded like implantation bleeding. I didn't want to freak out so I said I would wait until my next period to see. Now I did notice that I didn't have any cramps or tender breasts at all this "period(?)," which is strange because I also get really bad cramps and sore breasts every month. That was actually really nice for a change. The day after it was over I started having sort of period-like cramps for 10 days straight with no period. I was about to call the doctor because it was so weird, but then it stopped. On 4/28/12 I had spotting no cramps or sore breasts. One time I wiped and it was very small amount of pink tinged with just a little bit of brown streaks. It was only one time that day and one time the next day 4/29/12. Then nothing else until about 1 pm the next day 4/30/12. I actually went to WalMart and bought a pregnancy test and as I was walking out the door to leave and I felt the period starting feeling. So I haven't used it yet. I am now having that really light flow period like I had on 4/2/12 but have some cramping now. It is 5/1/12 and still having this really light period. All of this is very unusual and I have never ever had anything like this before. I was excited for a minute thinking I might be pregnant (even though I am not really trying to get pregnant) but now I am worried something is wrong "down there." Has this happened to anybody else? Any advise? I have a doctor appointment later this week but I am worried.

Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
Is there any way you could be pregnant? Is so, take a test. If not. you may have hormonal changes this month that is causing this.

Are you asking if you could be pregnant from protected sex in April? If you have had periods since then you can't be pregnant but a test will let you know for sure.

Take a pregnancy test - one would be accurate by now. If it's negative, it seems like your period is on it's way. Keep trying, it's very early days yet- the average couple conceives in about 6 months.

Hello Anonymous,
How old are you? If you are in your 50's, this may be an early sign of perimenopause. Changes in hormone levels cause changes in the menstrual cycle.
If you are younger, again some change in the balance of hormones is at play.
Consulting your gynecologist is an option.

Hello Anon
If your test at the hospital was positive, then you are pregnant.Constipation is a pregnancy symptom. Congratulations!
