I am utterly confused with my body...August I was 12 days late for AF, thought I was PG for sure..but then AF came...Started AF on August 4th...I was due for AF on Aug 31 (Reg. 28 day cycle)....well on 30th..some light, light spotting..31st and 1st was very dark brown, watery but semi heavy, then on the 2nd was almost totally gone, by 5 pm on the 2nd there was nothing, and still now at almost noon on the 3rd still nothing..AF seems to be gone...but my AF is always 5-6 days and VERY VERY heavy on days 1-3....but this AF was unlike any I've had before.....I was planning to BD the 10-15th as I shoudl ovulate somewhere in there, however will this Weird AF change things??? Anyone have this before??

I had the same thing with my LMP on 8/27. I am usually heavy from the get go till like the 4th or 5th day and this time it was light, gone, started red, heavy, than by the second day is was brown than turned to light spotting by the third day. Are you experiencing any other symptoms? Have you tested? I have and it is coming out negative.

I would take a pg test if you haven't already. I was 7 days late this past month then got my AF. I tested negative the whole time during that 7 day wait. My AF however was not typical for me. Heavy first day then practically nonexistant with brown spotting. Today, day after what I thought was an AF cycle, I tested again (still had pg symptoms) and it came up positive. I went and took a BETA HcG this morning and I'm now waiting for the results. My OB/GYN nurse thinks I either had a m/c or I'm bleeding through a viable pregnancy. I should know the results in about an hour and a half. I wish us all the best of luck.

Well, I've had some symptoms like heartburn, bloated feeling, some mild cramping..tender nipples..which is gone now..some dizzyness...but after last month of "thinking" I was pregnant I just played it off that it was all in my head, but now I'm not sure what to think.

Nasus1173- please keep us posted and let us know what you find out!! I am sooo confused now.

No advice, you just described exactly my situation. I am still breastfeeding a toddler and the few AF cycles I have had have been long. This time it came right at 28 days and was just brownish spotting for 2 days, I always have a heavy 5 day af. So I am real confused too. Am I pg, which I can't believe. But.... if not that than why the funky af. Very frustrating and confusing. Good luck to you. -Katy

From what I have read so far, your scenario sounds a lot like mine. Katy who replied, sounds exactly like mine. I breastfed my daughter for a year. She weaned herself since I was working. Then I got laid off and she started nursing again at 15 months. My cycle resumed for Apr,May,June and was 2 days long for July and nothing for Aug.???????????? I know the feeling of being so puzzled. Good luck to you. If anybody has any thoughts email me.

I am in the same boat. I have a very light spotting time from Aug 21 to 26. My cycle is 20 to 22 days and was late. I went to the doc and they did a urine test...which was neg...but also said my uterus was 4 to 6 weeks in size. My last AF was 7/26 (which was normal...3days and very heavy) and all HPT's are BFN and I plan on going back to the doc friday! I have symptoms of pg but have tried to explain them away as anything else at this point!! Let me know whats up!! I will certainly let you know what I find out!!

I still have no idea what is going on with my body, AF is gone, gone gone...if that's what it was, but I am just assuming that I am not pregnant, and going to try for this month...however I took my temps today and it was 98.1 and every now and then I have dull cramping in my lower abdomin........don't know what's going on...

I had replied earlier about having same weird AF. It ended aa week ago and I am STILL cramping. It comes and goes, but is dull not sharp or something that I would need medication for. Sometimes, I could swear that I am feeling my period come again! I took another HPT...negative =(

....what is going on?!!
