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.

Have you found any thing out I am dealing with the same thing I use a nuva ring as bc. Sometimes I forget to take it out on the 28 th day but always take it out or put it back in with in 24 hours of forgetting. I got my period on my normal time after I had taken it out but I put it back in a day late which was a Sunday. That next Thursday night I was sexual assaulted an drugged I don't remember anything for 9 hours of my life I had a swollen Virginia an some tearing. I went an had a rape kit done an they said I wasn't showing any signs of abuse in side but said it look like I might start spotting . The next day I started bleeding badly but it wasn't the same as normal it was very thin and pink it has now lasted a few days an it hurts bad but not like cramping from a period but painful and my back hurts more than normally. I am tired all the time an don't have a taste for alcohol and I normally love to drink bit the taste an anxiety that causes it is not worth it so I took a test tonight an it is not giving me an answer it is reading that there is an error. There was blood in the sample. I have a 2 year old and I took 3 tests before I found out that I was pregnant I was 12 weeks pregnant. Any help or thoughts on this matter I am severely depressed and an suffering from sever anxiety and panic attacks. Plus I had thought I was pregnant about a month ago but turned out negative but my periods have not lasted even a week or even heavy like what I am experiencing now I am scared PLEASE HELP ASAP
Thank you,

I got of my period about two weeks a four days ago, I also had sex the weekend I was getting off of it. I noticed blood when I wiped today, but it only happened once today, it was very light and pinkish. I never spotted in between periods so I am scared.

Hi,
May 18, 2014 - 10:22amI've been running a fever since Wednesday and my period came exactly one week earlier(this Saturday 5/17) it started out heavy and it slowed down.day 2 and barely any blood on my pad but when I wiped there was blood. Is there a possibility that it was implantation bleeding because my boyfriend and I did have unprotected sex May 5th although he did not ejaculate in me, I know the chances. I am hoping this is a stress induced irregular period. Any information will be helpful to me. Thank You so much.

Hi, I am extremely worried. I truly do think that I am pregnant but I would like and educated opinion. I got my period 3 and a half weeks ago, it wasn't quite like my normal period, it would get a little heavier and then got lighter, I didn't pay too much attention to it. Then about two days after my period was over I had light pink spotting only when I wiped for about 2 weeks everyday. I've been very emotional, tired, crampy, having cravings and some other pregnancy symptoms, about 4 days ago though I got an extremely heavy period, I still have it and abdominal cramps that are more intense than any cramps than ive ever had before.should I not take a test while I'm bleeding? Please email me an answer at [email protected] Please someone respon!! Thanks for you're time xoxo

My husband and I had unprotected sex on the day I started ovulating and I know this as I was using ovulation sticks. Since this I have not quite felt myself been very tired nausea at times and frequent urination, also sore boobs especially nipples!. However I started to get abdominal cramps yesterday and when I wipe I have very light bleeding but nothing on a pad overnight or this morning I also have lower back pain. Is this my period or can I be pregnant and still get this? Thanks
