Help PLEASE! (Pertaining to pos. preg)

Perhaps someone can help me. Usually my period comes a few days (2 or 3 tops) after it came the last month (in this case, 5/16 I got my period, then 6/21...a 5 day difference which is rare, but it happened). July...my period is nowhere to be seen and now it's August. (My boyfriend did come inside me around the 28th or 29th.) I calculated (allowing 5 days) that it should've been here by 6/27 THE LATEST. Now it's 8/6 and still nothing. I had some spotting right after I had sex w/my boyfriend (unprotected) on the 30/31st which I took to be the start of my period so I put a tampon in (around 12:00am) and took it out the next morning around 7 and there was nothing but a lil watered down brownish blood. Ok, so I put another in thinking it might've been a slow start, took it out a few hours later...and nothing. Now, there's still nothing but a VERY lil bit of light pinkish/watered down blood. I have no breast tenderness, no darkening of the areolae (as far as I can see) and no headaches. I've been VERY PMS-y, but thats usually normal for me around the time I (am supposed to) get my period. I also took 2 ept's and they came back neg. I have had an increase in discharge (it's kind of creamy). I apologize for the length of this, but if you can take the time out to read it, it would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks ALOT.

Are your periods normally on time every month and do they come at the first of the month, middle of the month or end of the month?

The reason I ask is because it is possible that you are pregnant even with negative home test. It is possible to have spotting like your describing when you are pregnant.

When did you last take the home pregnancy test, and what brand was it?

If your period doesn't show in the next week take another HPT. If it is negative get your doctor to do a blood hCG. I wish you the best and I know this waiting can be nerve-wracking whether you want to be pg or not. I hope things work out for the best (and soon) :-)

My periods usually come towards the end of the month, but its hard to say. For example, if it comes on 1/1, then the next month woudl be 2/3, 3/5, 4/8 and so on. The brand I first used (hpt) was an Eckerd brand, then I used an EPT (which was 1 month past the exp. date, but i figured it might be ok. Arg, this is KILLIN me. Thanks for your help!!
