:confused: What is going on with me? I started spotting 1 full week before my period was due... it started like pink then went to brown.. not enough to wear a panty liner or anything just when I went to the bathroom... now I am 2 days late and the spotting has pretty much stopped... the little bit I have had is still light pink.. I took a test the other day and it came back negative. I am going to test again on Sunday... I have no pain or discomfort so no reason for me to believe its an infection or uti or anything. Anyone have some insight? I am going nuts

Hun, there is a good chance that you might be pregnant... I did this and kept taking tests and at 6 weeks, BAM, positive.. try early results like EPT or something, the ones that say One day after missed period.. or there are usually companies that will do a hospital grade test for free... usually anti-abortion companies.
Good luck, and God be with you!

Are you taking birth control at the moment? If you are this could explain it. I had this happen when I was on the shot. About two months after I went off it, it stopped. If you are on birth control it could be that you have had a very light period. Some because meds will do this. Have you had a female exam lately? Maybe this would be a good time. You are probably OK, but if you continue to have problems, you should go just for peace of mind. Pregnancy could be the reason, especially if you are not on birth control. When you use your birth control test, use it the first time you use the bathroom in the morning. Your hormone levels are the highest at this time of the day, so the test should be more accurate then. If you don't get your period within a week or so, and continue to test negative, I would say to go to a doctor. Hope this helps!
