Is it worth taking a test? Short, abnormal period..

[Tightslady]

I'm confused as to whether it's worth taking a pregnancy test or not...
I had sex with my husband using the withdrawal method a few times last month (after my period had ended) and my last 'period' started off like four days earlier than I expected with brown discharge and then some light pink blood. I then had a very short two day period (4th and 5th March) followed by some more light pink blood. My normal period lasts 5 days. I had some very light cramps whereas I normally have heavy cramps which I need to take painkillers for. Should I take a pregnancy test? We aren't trying to get pregnant but if it happens then it happens and we'd be happy I just don't want to waste the money on a test/get my husband's hopes us/get myself all wound up for nothing..

do what's best for you/your mental state right now. if you can't stand waiting, take a test and see what happens. if you think you'll take it poorly and are OK with waiting, wait it out.
