My husband and I are trying to conceive. I ovulated and we had sex 3-4 times during the ovulation period. Today I am suppost to get my period because I am 14DPO. Yesterday I had brown spotting, and really bad cramps for about an hour, but I have not started my period. There is nothing at all today, no cramps, no spotting. I am recently off the patch and things could be getting back to normal, but I am not sure. I took a test to see if I was experiencing an eptopic pregnancy, and the test was negative. I have never had brown spotting like this before, please help

This could be very normal. Every once in a while we all experience a weird period.
When is your period due?
Please understand that there is no accurate at-home test for ectopic (tubal) pregnancies. It is only diagnosed through ultrasound.
You do not mention your age, this could be a factor. Also, how recently are you off the patch? This could very well be a contributing factor.
Have you taken a HPT yet? If not, it might be wise to do so using first morning urine.

My period was due yesterday 4/17. I am 25 years old and very healthy, rarelly ever sick. This is my first month off the patch. I had a little brown spotting again yesterday, but nothing further. I am surely emotional though, gosh my poor husband. I wish I understood what was going on, I am so confused.
