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,
April 1, 2014 - 12:03pmI usually have a 30-35 day cycle and now I am 7 days late. I had unprotected sex 3 weeks ago and again on this Saturday. 2 days after the last time I had sex I started to have some pinkish discharge but only when I use the bathroom and wipe. I am also having mild cramps. Should I test or just wait for my period to come?

For ten + years now I have always had a normal period I am on birth control too and something has got me worried two weeks before my period was due I started to get a lot of cramping and feeling dizzy and my breast were sore I did not pay too much attention to it till my lower back had cramping too . Then the day of my period came normal but it was not normal it was completely light abnormally light where I could wear a panty liner for the day and fill that up and that not normal for me I'm usually heavy for two days then med for two more then slowly goes away . I went to the doctor before my period started and did blood work and urine and could not find anything. I am finding it very unusual for me to ever had that happen. I have had stressful stuff in my life and it never affected me that way ever. What is going on? And I am having sex just using the pill tho

Ok. So I'm in the same boat kind of. I missed my period in november my fiance and I have been having unprotected sex for the last couple years and never missed a period. I was late but never missed. It didn't seem like I was stressed out. I took 3 hpts all negative. I feel pregnant well never was but I have every symptom. My breasts hurt so bad a couple weeks ago and my nipples were darker. Today when I went to go to the bathroom I had extremly light pink bleeding only when I wiped. I also normally have my af pretty heavy except towards the end. I'm hoping I am pregnant it would be a blessing. I have unusual cramping in lower abdomen and on the inside of my uterus. Could that have been implantation or am I nuts. I go to the docs weds I just need some imput.
