I am due to start my period at the beginning of next week, but since Saturday, I have been spotting. Well, I noticed it during intercourse. The blood was bright red. But my discharge has been pink since then. Even up until today, but it does get fainter as the days go by. Sunday it was brown and then it just got paler and pinkish. Could this just be trauma due to intercourse? Nothing unusual happened, so I'm not sure why I would still be spotting! The sex wasn't extraordinarily "rough". Also, my breasts are sore and I am extremely bloated. I took a pregnancy test yesterday and got a negative. Am I missing something!? I'm 28 years old; is this just stuff that happens with age? Sudden weight gain and spotting??? Thanks, your comments are appreciated. :^)
