My cycle came on the 19th of this month and ended on the 24th, each day started out with very tiny dots, then increased to pinkish spotting, then to a light bright red flow, my cycle also stopped a couple of days, whici is quite unusual, plus I had sex on the first day of my period. But now it is 5 days after my period and I still have very slight nausea, cramping,gas, and I get moody. These symptoms starts a week or two before my cycle, why do I still have them now? I bought a hpt but have not yet taken it because I know it will come back negative, but should I consider taking a test anyway?
