I am 36 years old and have for the most part always have regular cycles about 28/29 days with 4 to 6 day periods. My most recent period started January 3rd 2012 and was unusually long. It did not end until January 11th... So 8 days of full on bleeding. Going off my usual 28 day cycle I would have ovulated on January 17th. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend on January 14th. Again, per my usual cycle I should have started my next period on January 31st. Instead, this is what I have experienced thus far... On January 29th, 2 days before I expected to start, I noticed a very pale pink discharge only when I wiped but not every time I wiped. This discharge pattern happened the 29th, 30th, 31st, 1st, and early this morning the 2nd of February but has since stopped all together. Yesterday afternoon I took an HPT and the result was negative. I am curious if I could be pregnant or if I could be experiencing signs of early menopause... My mother had me at 36 and then by age 40 had gone through total menopause never having another period. I have 2 children and as of right now I don't really feel pregnant. I have had some symptoms ex. Throbbing nipples and sensitivity to smells with some fatigue but overall nothing like my previous pregnancies. My children are 13 and 14 now though so I was uncertain if later in life the syptoms could present differently. Can you please give me some input or a direction in which to research. I have searched the web with many conflicting reports. Thank you very much for your time.
