    Pregnant or just a weird period?
    I have a very regular cycle. My periods are usually 7 days long but this time it was only 2-3 days long. The past few menstrual cycles have been only 22 days long my last period was the 2nd through the 8th of January so therefore my next period would be on the 24th through the 30th but for some reason I missed it and I have taken several pregnancy test and all have came back negative. I started spotting Thursday the 5th of February and then heavy bleeding on the 6th and 7th and now back to spotting again could be I pregnant?

    Since you have experienced a couple of off cycles, it likely is just your cycles continuing to be off. While it is not the norm for you, it can be perfectly normal for a period to be 2 or 3 days long.
    I'd see what happens next month. If you still have an irregular cycle, you could always speak to your doctor about it. It could be that your cycles are just shifting to a new pattern, or your doctor may want to see if a reason can be determined. If you feel that you happen to experience possible pregnancy symptoms before that time, try another pregnancy test.

    Oh and I was 12 days late for my period and when I did start bleeding it started very light and pinkish with brown blood and then got heavier over the next 2 days and then got really light again to almost no bleeding at all

    My periods have never been off or late other than the one time I got pregnant with my first child and I did have bleeding with him and a missed period so I'm not really sure I went to my dr. This past Thursday and she said if my period didn't come like it was supposed to over the weekend to take another test and to call her but I want answers now because I have read that women can be pregnant and have false negatives or even bleed heavily while actually being pregnant I'm just confused is all.

    The thing is that we're not going to be able to say yes or not or what is really going on, what we can tell you is what MAY be going on. For example, a lot of women could set a clock by their periods... until they change. As you grown and mature your hormones will flucuate and change depending on many things. So you could have had regular periods for the majority of your reproductive life so far, but not any more. So it would just be a wonky period that hasn't started yet. Pregnancy tests are most accurate about two weeks after your missed period using your early morning urine, the concentrated stuff. Beyond that... you'll just have to wait for your doctor.

    This is a hurry and wait sort of situation, be patient.
