Hello I have a regular cycle 25 days now it is it changed about 3 or 4 months ago but it is regular. I started my period on August 2nd and it ended on that Sunday the 9th. I began spotting on the 14th it was just a bit and it stopped then Saturday morning I started spotting again but this time it was the whole day. My husband and I have really been trying, but lately we haven't been thinking about it or anything I want a baby so bad and he does also I just I just want to know if I might be pregnant or what I am going to take a hpt but my mom told me to wait until I am suppose to come on again but I just want any other moms out there to tell me what they think... I need help ladies!!

Hey,its only the 18th today,it may be a little early to take a test,I think your mother is on the right track,wait a little longer,keep trying to get pregnant thought,good luck.

Your stress on having the baby could maybe be making you spot. Or have you changed eating habits or exercise? Anything can make you spot. If it doesn't stop though go to your doctor and make sure your OK.

Your mom is right - take a pregnancy test once your period is late.

Spotting can be caused by several issues, not necessarily related to pregnancy.

It is true that stressing about being pregnant and conceiving can cause you to spot and as you hope for the best this dashes your hopes. It is the hardest thing ever to do is wait but there isn't much more that you can do other than keep trying to conceive in case it is a false alarm x

I waited and I still got a false negative. So patience is key... I waited a little over a month since my missing period before I got the actual "pregnant" result. (my hcg levels are normal... I just have a mystery baby hiding in there).

So waiting and trying to find something else to occupy your mind is very important (and healthy). This way you don't burn a lot of money on home tests, and you're able to keep sex fun and enjoy the little time left you have to it just being you two. I had to learn to relax... so I started taking classes at college to work on getting another degree... and focusing on something else helped us greatly! (plus I had something to do while I waited)
