I think I'm pregnant, I'm experiencing spotting over the last two days. I'm just wondering if I should take a test or if it's a normal period. It ranges from light pink, to watery pink, to light brown to dark brown. On and off two days.

It could just be the start of a off period. When was your period due? I would wait about two weeks from that point and if you don't get your normal period you should take a test then. The tests are designed to react to a certain level of hormone in your urine. That level isn't usually present until two weeks after a missed period using the first urination of the morning. There are a lot of 'sensitive tests' that is supposed to show a few days/weeks earlier but they're not as accurate.

Good luck!

Thank you! I'm not sure as I don't track it. Husband and are I are trying but not actively. I usually have irregular periods, but not like this. It was a little heavier at one point but now it's stopped and it's a brown. Very light. My last cycle was last month I believe and I think I ovulated 7 days ago because I noticed the "stretchy" cm that goes between your fingers.

I believe I'm pregnant. I think I ovulated 7 days ago, as I saw a stretchy cm. I also felt more in the mood. I'm not sure if this is pregnancy or weird period. I have irregular periods, but this never happens. For two days I've had Discharge when I wipe. Ranging from light, to watery pink, to light and dark Brown. I thought it was a period, because it got slightly very slightly heavier. But now it has stopped almost completely only a light brown now. Please any advice or thoughts. Baby dust to you all! Xo

How irregular are your periods? Right now it is a waiting game.You need to wait until you either have severely missed your period or it comes. With them being irregular it might take a while.

They aren't too irregular. I do have pcos but a mild form. I go two months or three months without a period but I did have one last month I believe. Either then or the month before.

If you think that you may have ovulated recently, give it a couple of weeks, and if no regular period, try a test. It doesn't hurt to test if you suspect a possible pregnancy.

With irregular cycles, and since you aren't using birth control, you might just want to try a test once a month. That way, when you do become pregnant, you'll be able to know early on.

While you are trying, it is wise to make sure that both you and your husband make any lifestyle changes that you know would be healthy, including either a prenatal or good multivitamin for you.

Thank you very much. I don't take vitamins but I eat very very healthy, as does my husband and exercise 3-4 times a week.
