Just to give some more info about my question...we have been trying to conceive for some time now and I took a pregnancy test a week ago and it was negative but I'm not sure if the test was done properly. My period normally comes on the 15th of the month; however, I have been a week or so late before. It is now the 23rd, and on the 20th of this month, I started spotting this brownish stuff, the same kind of stuff that normally occurs before each of my periods, it would last no more than 2 days. The only difference this month is that I have been spotting this brownish stuff with the occassioanl red blood...it's been 4 days now. It barely gets on a thin pantyliner...I was extremely moody last week, my breast are tender and they are normally tender but as soon as I would start to spot, the tenderness goes away, my breast are still quite tender today. I hope that we are pregnant but could it also just be a very late period?
If you are looking "not to be pregnant" you are probably in luck. Spotting is an early indication of a late period, in your case.
probably you were pregnant and had a miscarriage
this could be old blood--this happen this to be but last one week and you will still have a healthy pregnancy --congrat
I have had my monthly period and that lasted 6 days instead of 7 days and started spotting 2weeks after does this mean Iam pregnant?
Yes, I have. I was 7 weeks and 5 days pregnant when that started. I was told by my doctor that it was likely old blood that was being discarded and that it was nothing to worry about. In my heart this didn't feel right so I requested a sonogram. Sadly, the sonogram revealed that the pregnancy failed (there was no heart beat). So, for me, the spotting and mucus which was accompanied by mild cramping was a sign that my uterus was trying to abort the pregnancy.
No, if you menstruated then you are not pregnant - it is possible to bleed when pregnant, but biologically impossible to menstruate during pregnancy. Two days after menstruation spotting is normal, it's just the remaining blood leaving your body.
I am also spotting at 17 weeks pregnant. I started spotting off an on with brownish discharge at 10 weeks, alhtough it is now a pinkish color. You should contact your Dr. My Dr. told me that 30% of women spot during pregnancy. She was not concerned b/c she heard the heart beat. She said that spotting can happen after heavy lifting, exercise, intercourse or constipation. I too and trying not to freak out. Good Luck!
Only if you had sex.
Yes. Take a test
It could still be your period. When I was 18 I got my normal period,then started spotting a few days after.(that had never happened before) Turns out,I was pregnant.So,it's either still your period,or you're pregnant.
i would wait till tommarow, maybe u are justing spotting
If you are pregnant and bleeding red call your doctor ASAP. If you recently had sex it could just be from a sensitive cervix. When i was pregnant and spotting my docs office told me no sex and I was on bed rest for 7 days after the spotting ended.
