What's going on with my menstrual cycle? Could I be pregnant and still have bleeding?

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.

Hi I have spotting for 2 days and it stops for another day and so on. I wear a pad but it always comes out clean. The spotting is usually when I wipe but not every time.. I was told it was due to stress maybe but I'm not sure..any advice on what may be wrong?? Or is there possibility of pregnancy??

I am just looking for some advice. My name is Janelle, I am 29 years old and have been having unprotected sex with my husband. My periods are usually on time and for the most part very heavy and usually last for 6 days. I get cramps and my breast are always sore for my periods. My period was to be due on 6/4/15. I actually started to spot 7 days before my period and it was a really light pink that was only when I wiped. It is now 6/7/15 and I still have no period and the spotting has stopped. I spotted for about 10 days straight with no cramps or tender breast or nausea. I did try some home pregnancy tests and they were all Neg. Should I be worried? or should I just wait a little longer and take another pregnancy test? Could it be that I am pregnant or can it be that there is something wrong? Please help??!

Hi. Umm, I'm 18 and very stressed. So the last time I had sex was in February. I started taking roaccutane once more for my acne but stopped two weeks into march when I realized its making me lose weight and I missed my Feb period. I didn't worry for the pill does mess up your cycle. However, I missed it again in March. I have also been spotting every day for the past two months. I decided to take a home pregnancy test and one at the clinic a week after the other but they came out negative. Now three weeks ago my spotting went from light to heavy. I use a pad everyday and have some large clots that come out. My appointment is next week with my gynecologist but could someone possibly let me know what could be wrong as I'm getting worse?

Ok so my period has been right on schedule this month or what I think is my period. My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex th mornin of my period. That night it started very light. The next morning there was nothing except when I wiped. It only lasted 2 days and was not heavy there were barely any clots. Then speed last night completely. We then had unprotected sex this morning. And again I have more spotting could I be pregnant our is this normal .my cycles are always 28 days. And always heavy. Im totally confused

Hi me and my boyfriend always have unprotected sex but I have never had my period. A couple days ago I noticed some pinkish blood and it has been there every morning for 4 days since. I thought it was my period but it's not heavy at all, it's just spots and when I wipe. Am I pregnant? I'm nervous
