i have a 28 day cycle, had sex on 6/24. last normal period began 6/14. according to research i had sex during my "fertile period". Expected date of ovulation was6/27. next period should've started on 7/11 or7/12. Yet it came one week early on 7/5 instead. it was very different from any other. I t started off l light pinkish brwn then darker red only when i wiped, then i bled more heavily needing a pad and then it was bright red and back to brown. all in all it was much lighter in volume then my regular periods. also noticed that it did not smell at all like a period, no smell at all. this all lasted for abt 4 days only 2 days of heavier bleeding though the last two days were very light in volume and in color. also on the last day i noticed mucus tinged blood coming out. i'm very bloated as well. took a test today . it was neg. has anyone else experienced this? Please any feedback will be much appreciated. thanks.

I had something similar. I am on birth control so I always know exactly when my period is coming. Though my doctors told me I may have lighter/less painful periods, I have been on the same meds for a year and have noticed no difference. I always have very heavy bleeding for 5-6 days. Well, this month I have very light bleeding for 3 days and it was really dark and sort of dry. Normally it's very wet and bright red. I don't think I am pregnant because I am usually very good at taking my pill at the same time every day but for the last couple of days I have had backaches and breast tenderness. Does anyone have any advice on when I should take a home pregnancy test?

this could be implantation bleeding... its when the egg implants itself into the uterine wall after being "fertilized".. this could be a sign of early pregnancy.. take a test after u miss ur period... GOOD LUCK LADIES!!!
