Hi everyone!

I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I am 10 days late, have all the signs of pregnancy (except nausea), but have tested negative on 6 HPTs. Today I started bleeding - very lightly. I don't know if this is my period or if I am "spotting" and am actually pregnant. I took the mini-pill as an experiment for a month, stopped, got my period on time, but now find myself in this situation. Before I started bleeding lightly today, I was pretty convinced I was pregnant despite the negative tests. I'm never late, but maybe my cycle is just screwed up because of the pills? How much can you bleed and still be pregnant? What causes "spotting"?

Any and all help is much appreciated! Sending Baby Dust to all!

I am in a similar situation. My cycle is all messed up because of the pill. I have been off for 5 months now but I am still not right. I was about 2 weeks late and also experiencing symptoms. On wednesday I began spotting but then on Saturday it seems I now have my period. I thought and was hoping I was prego too but it doesn't appear so. I am not sure though how much you can bleed while pregnant.I wish I knew! Good luck & baby dust I hope your situation is different!
