Hi all - I'm going to give you a brief rundown of what is going on. First off, I'd like to say this since pregnancy is one of the first things that comes to mind with irregular periods: Before my period started, my husband and I hadn't had intercourse in 4 weeks because he was away. We do not use birth control, but I feel it is highly unlikely I am pregnant because of the time of month it was.

My period this month came right on time last Thursday. But, unlike any before, this one had me in bed ALL day with cramps. Usually, I get them for a couple hours. The period came and then on Friday it was really light. After Friday, it completely disappeared. Now, Monday, I am experiencing spotting. My first thought was "Great...my period is back.....", but, this isn't even enough to have a tampon in. I've just been wearing pantyliners (which have accrued next to nothing). It usually only happens when I use the restroom. It will be little droplets or I'll see it when I wipe. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? My period has never completely disappeared and then come back before. I have heard that this can often be "implantation bleeding", but I've also heard that it would normally happen about two weeks after conception. Given the fact that, before the start of my period, the last time we had sex was 4 weeks ago, that doesn't sound right. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks for your help!
