    Could I be pregnant or is it an Eptopic Pregnancy?
    I have been off the pill for three months now. My last period was 3/24 and it was on time and heavy. This month I was suppose to start 4/20 ( I use the 28 day cycle to predict when I am suppose to start) I noticed today 4/22 that I had some light, very light, pinkish color blood. I thought... Okay, I started. This has been going on all day and night and it is not normal for me. I thought maybe I am pregnant so, I took 2 hpt and they were negative. I have been pregnant before, my son is 3 and my hubby and I want another child so, we have been trying for three months now. Normally I get cramps and bloating and crave chocolate a couple days before I start and I didn't this time. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

    It could be that you're just having an off month, that happens to all of us, especially if you've just gone of the pill in the last few months. It can take some time for your schedule to get back on track.

    Why are you fearing an ectopic pregnancy?

    You could always go to your doctor for a pregnancy test or wait another week or two and test again.

    Good luck.

    Hi, thanks for your advice, I read that if you have light bleeding and dizziness etc. and have had a C-Section before you might have an eptopic pregnancy?

    I've never heard that, but I'm not a doctor, so I don't know for sure. If you had a normal pregnancy before I wouldn't be too worried about it. Of course only a doctor can know for sure, so if you're concerned about it then I'd definitely get it checked out.

    Light bleeding can happen in early pregnancy. Some women can actually have what seems to be a normal period throughout their entire pregnancy. It all depends on the woman and the pregnancy, because each one is different.

    You could be having an off month, or you could in fact be pregnant and it's either too early to test or your hcg levels aren't high enough yet. Wait another week or two and then test again. Make sure to use first morning urine as it's more accurate. If you're really concerned then see your doctor.

    Let us know how it goes. I wish you all the best.
