To give some back ground first: I am normally a 26 days cycle and last for 5 days. Day 1 being light, days 2 & 3 being pretty heavy, day for a little lighter, & then day 5 some spotting and stop!
This month I was due to start my period on the 5th. I have sex on the night of the 4th! But nothing came on the 5th. On the 9th I had sex in the morning and an hour after starting bleeding very light and red! The whole day nothing showed on the pad, only when I wiped when I went to the bathroom. Then the next day the 10th, I was still bleeding lightly and some showed on the pad, but not very much. Then on the 11th, I seemed to be only spotting, it would stop and go most of the day till it finally just stopped! NOT SURE WHAT THAT WAS!?
Also I normally get tender breast and a little emotionally right before my period comes, but it goes away when my period starts. This time my breast are still tender and I am still emotion and weepy, also seem like I can get enough sleep!
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME?? Has anyone else had anything like this? Could I be pregnant? Or is it something else?

Sounds like you could possibly be pregnant but there is only one way to know for sure. You should take a test or see your doctor of course. :D

Dear, first welcome to the forum. Mrs Pennell is right, do a test and see your doctor for reassurance.
I'm attaching some links for you to check out until you get your doctor's appointment - but they should not replace the doctor's visit, because if you might be pregnant and there are pets in the household or neighborhood you need other tests done to make sure everything works out fine. Good luck, and by all means, keep us posted.

Hello bmlccloud- I am also in the same boat normally a 21 day cycle. I have been on-line for 3 days now trying to find some answers. In hearing everyone's stories some things are clear. I am trying to determine if I am experiencing implantation bleeding or am I pregnant. I am 32 yrs old. I have been trying for a year now to get Pregnant. In Aug I started my period on 8-10 lasting 5 days. One night I experienced cramping and immediately became nausious with the cramping and around 8-25 I started bleeding again lightly I was nervous so I went to the hospital and they told me the test was negative and they did not see anything wrong it could have been old blood from my period since it wasn't much bleeding. In Septemeber I was 10 day late I took a HPT and it was Neg. Since then I have been getting what I think is a period every month so I didn't think anything of it. Last month I had my first day on 12-5 and this month it didn't come until 1-13 light for 2-3 days.It is now Jan and I have noticed that not only have I gained weight but my stomach is growing and I have a line down my stomach that wasn't there before. I haven't experienced having sore BB's or anything at one point I was very tired napping when I came home from work, lots of gassy like feelings and like stomach growls and now I am having trouble sleeping at night. I did make an appt to see my GYN tomorrow. I have two other children and I have never experiebced this before. Could I be pregnant?

STOP wondering and make the move. Try and do a home pregnancy test or go to a doctor or clinic asap. You will feel relieved when you know... and then you can decide from there. HEY< its going to be OK!
THE BEST WAY OUT IS ALWAYS THROUGH>>>>>>

That is my question too! This is so confusing and like you I have been trying for over a year to get pregnant and am a little tired of false alarms and get my hopes up for nothing. I haven't made an appointment yet, I think just cause I am not sure what is going on and I don't want to have false hope again! I still am having symptoms and am not sure if I should just wait and see if my next period comes on time and/or if it is normal!? I never had this happen before either I also have 2 other children!
I did also do a test after the weird light bleeding and it was negative. So, I don't know what to think! I have not taken one lately!

Here are two links that might help you out a little. Also, please remember, that when men get older and/or take medication for other illnesses, this could reduce sperm production. And, in case the sites don't mention it, make certain that the scrotum gets kept cool - mother nature built them outside for a reason - and the less daily heat i.e. hot showers, sauna, etc will help prevent minimal production. The male reproductive system goes through changes as well as our's does and before spending a lot of money on doctors, take these precautions, try them, and then you can always see the doc if that does not work. A lot of luck to all of you and hope your dreams come true!
