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'm 24 happily married to an US Marine, and recently I've noticed a lot of nausea and fatigue. Didnt really think about it too hard as the weather has been changing and it could be a cold or flu. Well, I also was accompanied by some cramping. I just thought to myself "oh, AF must be about to visit" so I pulled out my handy dandy app 'My days X' and it said I was 4 days late. I had sooo many emotions running through my head and bought a 3 pack of first response. Tested every morning for 3 days. All BFN. Went to my mom, she said I should go get a blood test. So I did. Got the results ... BFN. I have no stress in my life right now, I'm not doing anything different, hubby is home, and I'm now 12 days late, and I have 4 days until my next ovulation. Do you think maybe, quite possibly my Hcg levels are just slower than everyone else and the test couldn't pick it up? Or am I just siking myself out? Also had pinkish only when I wiped, and very watery? HELP HELP HELP!
I would like to add, I do not have sore breasts, I know that's everyone's go to symptom. Just tired and starving and nausea at night time. Thank you for your time.

Even though I'm due for my period soon?

Hello. Can you please answer my question ? I'm 22, not pregnant, and still a virgin. Yet for the past 2 weeks almost 3, every time I wipe I get blood too. It sometimes looks brown, other times bright red. Its not a lot only when I wipe but I have gotten my underwear dirty a couple of times. As far as my period goes, it was for awhile pretty regular. But I missed it for august and September, which does happen to me sometimes. Can you please tell me what's going on ?
