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.

ok so yesterday I got a couple of cramps so I thought it was my cycle and when I wiped myself it was light blood so I thought maybe it'll bleed normal later. When I went to the restroom again it was gone. Today it's like it's only bleeding in the inside cause it only shows when I wipe myself but I know it's on . Can anybody tell me what this might be or why it's doing this?

Hello Anonymous,
Have you had unprotected intercourse since your period in December?
If so, was it about two weeks ago? Then this could be implantation bleeding. I suggest you take an early response pregnancy test. Test in the morning. Use the urine when you wake up and first use the bathroom. That is the first step.

Hi all
So last month I was a week late I'm usually a 28 cycle... I was convinced I was pregnant had all the symptoms but I then had my period.
This month 37 days after my period ended I had a bit of blood so I prepared for my period which is usually he really heavy. But all I've had is a bit of spotting... I've woken up this morning and there's nothing.
It's strange as like I said it's usually heavy and I get terrible cramps. It lasts for 4 days this is my 3rd day now and nothing what could this be?

Hello Anonymous,
The menstrual cycle is regulated by a precise balance of hormones. Any changes or upset in this balance will cause a change.
How old are you? Has this ever happened before? Have you had unprotected intercourse since your last period? Are you using any type of birth control?

Hi
I had protected sex in Nov about 6 days after my period. My period came in December like normal but then in January it was late by 3 days, heavy the first 2 days then almost nonexistent the 3rd day and ended. My period normally lasts 5 days, what does this mean???
