    Pregnant or period?
    Hi,
    I was taking the pill for 10 years up until, Nov 07 and since have had regular periods which last for about 3 days. I have had unprotected intercourse with my boyfriend on and off since February/March of this year. I had some pink and red spotting a week before my period In March which was odd and never happened before then had a period a week later which was 2 days and about 3 days of brown spotting. Is this possible pregnancy or just my periods getting back on track from the pill?

    Why don't you take a test? I don't think it's the birth control because you stopped it in Nov so I would think your body would be acclimated by now.. But I'm not a doctor..

    Take a test and/or see a doc

    Does this sound like a possibility? Or am I just paranoid? Would a pg test be accurate at this point or should I wait to see if I get my period at the end of the month? Has this ever happened to anyone before?

    Well you said you had a weird period so I would take one now and then if it's negative take one again if you miss it this month.. it could also be stress

    OK, so I took a pregnancy test and it came out very faint after a few minutes. A couple of days later I took another test and it came out negative(or so I thought) checked it the next day and it showed another faint positive.. AM I PREGNANT?

    Best bet get a blood test, those are 100%.. see a doctor.. sometimes the tests show false positives.

    You can't take a pregnancy test and check the results a day later. Usually the results are visible within 10 minutes, anything after that is considered inaccurate.

    It is important to take the test using first morning urine as this is when the urine has the highest concentration of hCG (pregnancy hormone) and the test is most accurate.
