Help? My last period was october 1st. It lasted five days. then i had another one on october 17th.It lasted three days.No period since then.But i did have some light brown spotting on november 9th .It lasted one day . I took a pregnancy test on november 11th it was negative. I've always been pretty regular a 35 day cycle. Am i pregnant? I never miss periods.And When do you think i should do retest. Help Scared??

Hi there! Have you started any new birth control pills recently, undergone undue stress, or any other major lifestyle change? I know sometimes any of those things can affect your period. I had the same thing happen to me recently, and I just started a new birth control pill, which I learned can cause a period to be light/missed. I tested myself for pregnancy three times!!! I couldn't figure it out!

You might want to wait a week or two and try a pregnancy test again, but it's certainly possible that it's something else besides that....

I'm going thru a similar situation. LMP was Oct 12th nothing since and 2 negative HPT's.

I would see if itcould be anything else first. I am rrunning a blood test now because I had my tubes tied almost 3 years ago and we want to rule out pregnancy first. I've been on probably 12 different birth control pills and some do cause odd reactions. I actually had one that caused two periods a month. If you are really concerned call your doctor. Better safe than sorry.

I would retest again, just in case. Have you talked to your doctor about it, at all?
