I have had two children previously, my last being 4 1/2 years ago. My second, I was on bcp's and decided to have another baby so I got off and became pregnant that month after being off of them. So now, I want to try again for a girl. I got off bcp's and starting trying. I know that it is very rare that you get pregnant on the first month after quitting bcp's but it happened once, maybe it can happen again. I had some symptoms of being preggo but don't know if it was just my mind playing tricks. I have sore breasts, some cramping a couple weeks ago, headaches. However, yesterday I starting having discharge. Yesterday it was reddish brown, now it is really brown, not at all like my normal period, but I don't know how much is "just spotting". It seems like an aweful lot. I took a hpt yesterday morning when it started and it was negative. Could I still be pregnant? It is bothering me because I don't remember this discharge with my other two children so I am thinking I'm not. Tell me what you think, please.

I had brown spotting with my 3rd pregnancy, but not with my first 2 pregnancies. However, I was already 10 weeks pregnant when I got the spotting so I guess the situation was a bit different than yours. I would suggest waiting a few days and see if the spotting gets any heavier. I used to never get spotting before my period but for the past 4 or 5 months I've been having brownish colored spotting 2 to 3 days before my period starts. If you don't start bleeding then I would definitely re-test or call your doc and get a blood test because you never know! Good luck!!!!!!
