Okay this is the first time I've had to research and see what other women had to say about missing their periods and having spotting when they're are supposed to be having their periods... I got off my birth control in Oct 2009 and have been off for about 2 1/2 mos now. So far since I've been off my BC, I've pretty much had a cycle that seems to be regular (30-32 days, since November I got my period on the 7th and in December on the 7th) but I've never had regular cycles before when I was younger (hence why I was on BC). I was due for another period this month on the 7th to be exact...but never started. I noticed some very light pinkish brownish spotting on the 10th for like a day or so and then some really dark brown spotting on 12th or 13th till now. I have a few small blood clots but nothing huge only when I wipe or go to the bathroom, my periods are never this spotty and never this light. I can go by wearing a pantyliner but the spotting hasn't been heavy enough for a pad or tampon. I haven't taken any pregnancy tests yet b/c I don't kno if I should since I'm spotting and I don't know how long to wait?? I have some breast soreness but no swelling (which is pretty normal BEFORE I get my period), some dizziness and some nausea here and there, appetite changes (sometimes I can eat a lot and sometimes after I eat I feel so sick), I've been having gas ( I thought it might be b/c I've been drinking coffee) but I get it even w/o drinking coffee. I don't normally have gas. What is funny is that my first pregnancy I had some gas but the more noticable symptom was EXTREMELY SORE, SWOLLEN boobs (which is not the case right now so that is why I'm not thinking that I am pregnant but then again I've heard that not all pregnancies are alike)...and I did have some dark reddish brown spotting during 6-8 weeks up until I was about 3 mos pregnant, Should I go ahead and take a pregnancy test??
