The last time I had sex was back in March and since then I have taken 4 pregnancy tests and they have all come back negative.. I took one in April, May, and June...
I got my March period the day I had sex (with condom) and in April, I was a week late but still had my period. In May, I was a week late again... so for the two months I had a 37 day cycle. In June, I had a normal 30 day cycle but it was a little bit lighter than my normal period. My period ended last week around the 4th of July and starting 2 days ago, I have been lightly bleeding. It's not to the point where I need a pad badly but every time I wipe, there is blood. It's red/pink. I have never had this before so I was wondering what it could be.
I was just scared because I have heard of women bleeding through pregnancy... could my diet/exercise cause my period to be so wacko? I gained a lot of weight since February-ish and have been on a diet and exercise since the end of May...

Thanks for your feedback!

Since you've had so many negative HPT results, and you've had periods every month, chances are very slim you could be pregnant.

Diet/exercise can have an affect--no doubt.

Cycles are reliable in one thing: They are crazy! Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason why they work out the way they do.

Other factors can be cysts, endometriosis, PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome), or just plain stress.

I suggest scheduling an exam with a GYN just to get checked out as well as for peace-of-mind.

Good luck
