    17 days late
    First and foremost I know the advice always my doctor:)

    I am pretty late.. 17 days to be precise.. I had some light pink spotting.. barely enough for a tampon. I am a pill taker, BC. I would like a child, this one would be a miracle. But how do you know. All four urine test eight - twelvedays later cam eback negative. Or was I just blessed with a light period. Your oppinions would be nice. I do have a an appt. schedule with my doc. So wise women and men... what do you think... is there anything to be happy/worried about.. or is this just stress.

    Thanks, jencr

    Jen, a period does not have to be heavy and can last for a very short time. If all the pregnancy tests were negative, you are not pregnant. The best time to take a pregnancy test is seven days after missing your period. Sometimes, there is hormonal imbalance and you can merely have some spotting instead of a full period. The pill can also cause irregular bleeding patterns, spotting or breakthrough bleeding. If your concerned about this talk to your doctor.
