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.

Oh and yesterday my husband and I went target shooting and I for the first time really smelt the gun powder. It was a very heavy smell. I really liked it

I am 25 years old. I am not on any birth control and I am quilty of having unprotected sex. My last period was 36 days ago and just yesterday I started bleeding. It's not a normal period for me either. It is a very bright red color and is lighter than I have ever had. Also my regular periods are heavy and very painful. I do not have any pains or crampings... I'm not exactly Ayr what is going on. I dont know if this is normal or if this is something I should be worried about. Any advice or any answers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

On April 23rd I found out I was pregnant , a week later I was at a threatened miscarriage I was put on bed rest until the bleeding stopped, and it did so me and my fiance began having sex after it stopped. I thought i was 7 weeks but when I went to check on my baby the doctor said there was no baby in my uterus. It was hard for me and my fiance to find out we miscarried. But now I have been having brown spotting when I wipe. But it stopped can someone please tell me what's going on, the doctor was very vague he just told us not to try for another 4-6 months.

Hey, I just wanted an opinion on what's going on with me. I had protected sex for the first time 12 days ago with my bf. I'm 21 yo and Since then my main thing has been sore breasts, though it's almost gone now. I've had pms symptoms (acne flare up, lower back pain, slight mood swings, nothing major) , like usual and started bleeding around the time I was expecting my period. I'm generally very regular, but last month I had a cycle that was again, strange for me, with breast soreness being really prolonged.
This is the start of my fifth day of bleeding. My first was very light, maybe just a spot or two of pink when wiping. Second varied from pink - red off/on and showed up on panty liner. Third was more bright red mostly them pink, but watery and light - medium. Yesterday I finally got what would be normal for me, only on a lighter scale. Bright red, a few clots and I had cramps. Changed pad every 2-3 hrs until night time when bleeding turned pink again. Cramps are gone, but there's still a bit of pink blood. I've been very stressed wondering if I could be pregnant and my eating habits lately have been very poor. I've probably gained 10 lbs in the last month or two.
Could this just be a light period due to stress?
Thanks!
