Hi Anonymous,
Take heart for now that the test was negative. The spotting also is a good sign that you are not pregnant. I have had cycles like that, especially when I was younger. If you have been stressed out about all of this, it could be a reason why things are "different." Keep an eye on this cycle, and continue to protect yourself if you have any new encounters with you boyfriend so it will stop the stress and hopefully get you back on track. Symptoms of pregnancy are similar to menstrual symptoms, so those are generally not great indicators. If I were you, and the period remains light, I might take another test in a week or schedule a visit with a gyno/health clinic to see what's going on. It is normal for periods to fluctuate in intensity and symptoms, but for your own piece of mind, a visit with the doctor or nurse practitioner may be a good idea.
