Hi everyone! I haven't been around in a while because my husband and I decided not to have any more children that we were content with the 2 boys we already have. He's almost 30 and I'm 28. So anyway, we have a pretty active sex life and the one month I decided not to chart anything is the month I'm wondering what is going on...figures. So my last period was March 28th and was normal lasted 6 days etc. My periods are very regular every 28-32 days. I know I O'd about a week ago because I had my usual Ovulation symptoms (egg white mucus, little cramping). So I'm not expecting my period for a few more days but about 3 days ago I started brownish/reddish spotting so I assumed my period was coming like usual just early for whatever reason. Well it's been 3-4 days and I'm still just spotting. In the morning it's light almost unnoticeable but as the day goes on it gets a little heavier but still hardly even a need for a panty liner. It's still staying brownish There has been some small clots as well but nothing like usual. Yesterday I had some light cramping and a headache. I usually get a day of moderate cramping the day my period shows and my breasts get a little sore. I just had the light cramping yesterday and a little today and my breasts are sore like normal. Is this just a super light period or could I actually be pregnant? I did take a pregnancy test yesterday (a walmart .88 first signal test) and it was BFN. Anyone have similar experience? What was the outcome? I admit I have my hopes up a little. I had light bleeding similar to this when I was pregnant with my first son but it didn't come until I was 8 weeks PG.


ps I should also add my husband had a vasectomy 3 years ago. So I know the likelihood of me being pregnant is extremely unlikely but I guess you never know. It does happen.
 
I had this when i was preg...i got weird colored cm on cd19, which went away. then on cd24 [of a 28-30 day cycle as well] I started spotting brownish when i wiped and it never went away. got bfp when i was 2 days late for af..ended in mc unfortunately :( had the same spotting on the day af was due with my first bfp back in spt as well, and that ended in a mc as well. so for me, thats the tip off that im preg, but I hope this time around I DONT have it bc it seems to be a bad sign fr me, but I have read of many other owmen on here that have the spotting and go on to have healthy babies afterwards! so good luck to you!
 
Thank you for the response. The spotting has picked up to heavy red spotting but still not my usual AF. I'm so confused and kinda nervous.
 
Has he had a SA since the vasectomy? Vasectomies can definitely 'correct themselves.' I have a friend who ended up pregnant within a year of hubby getting a vasectomy. He got tested shortly after, and sure enough...sperm! He had it redone, and then next year....pregnant again.

Wow, can you say fertile? lol! :baby:

Yes, hubby went back for the check and got the all clear about 6 weeks after. Well AF finally showed up full force. Relieved as if I was actually pregnant I'd be scared something was wrong. :)

It always seems to happen when AF is running behind or whatever and I decide to buy a HPT AF shows later that day. I ordered 3 tests online this morning to arrive on Friday. I'm hoping they'll let me cancel. :dohh:
 
Uhhh now it's back to light brown spotting. What is up with this? I've never experience this in the 16 years I've had my period.
 
I am having the same thing. My cycles are between 23 and 25 days and I'm having brown discharge not enough to need anything just when I go to the bathroom. there is a tinge of red blood but mostly brown. I'm on CD 16 and due for AF in 8 ish days. Im lost hoping its good new but not sure yet

26th/ 27th my cycles are pretty short about 23 days so just over 3 weeks I ovulate quickly after AF stops.
