I've been Trying to conceive for 2 months now. I started spotting dark brown about 5 days before my usual period day. Once I wiped a tad bit of pinkish. Later, I thought I had started my period 2 days early (even though my period can be irregular). It was bright red when I wiped so I put a tampon in, and hrs later the tampon was unusally dry. I was dry for the next several hrs, then it happened again. It seems as if I'm bleeding bright red in spurts maybe every 6 hrs but only spotting until I wipe. I wouldn't hardly know I was bleeding until I urinate and wipe. I'm now past my expected period date with this weirdness going on. I don't have any pregnancy symptoms unless it's fatigue, but that can be easily mistaken. Today is the 30 days of my cycle. What could this be? My period has never been this weird. I did take a HPT and it was negative. but it was also before my expected period.

Maybe this is obvious and I'm just too tired to realize but what's Trying to conceive?

I was thinking the same thing... idk if I'e ever heard of Trying to conceive.

Hmm... this is kind of hard to say whether its just spotting or maybe an incredibly light period. But I'm leaning a little more towards spotting. In any case, if it's that light, I wouldn't recommend using tampons for it. I'd suggest a pantiliner. They make the regular thin pad shaped ones or they even have ones for thongs. I've heard its not good to use tampons when you're not bleeding very much, like when its coming out so dry.

Sometimes I've had spotting like that in the weeks just before my period, but that was when I switched because pills, and I don't know what else causes it.

Trying to conceive means Trying to Conceive

Ohhh. OK. Now that you're past your expected period I would take another test.
