Spotting

I am a week late. I usually start at the same time as some of my girlfriends, but I haven't been around them much recently so I figured that maybe my cycle was just adjusting to someone else's. Three days ago I thought I was starting but it ended up just being spotting and it went away 2 hours later. The same thing happened yesterday (again for only 2 hours) and again today. I am a little confused why I am spotting for only a couple hours and then not getting my period. The spotting is darker colored than pregnancy spotting. I have taken 2 home pregnancy tests and they have both been negative. Is it normal to spot like this? Has anyone ever had this? Any info would be appreciated because I am a little scared and very confused!
Thanks!

If you don't get your period in the next week and are still getting a negative pregnancy test I would call your doctor.

I have had it happen to me but to be on the safe side I would wait another week and take another test just to be sure.

hey,
i have to tell you i did have the same exact thing. the spotting for a few days. It was just because i was so stressed and not enough sleep. It is normal to have a period that is just spotting. i assure you it isnt abnormal. but if you dont have a real period next time around you should probably go to the doctor.
