I've always started my periods heavy right of the bat. This time I've only had a little spotting, sort of brown in color... Me and my husband have been trying to make a baby the past 2 months now, we have one daughter already. Could this spotting mabey indicate that I'm pregnant or what is it?

Brown spotting typically means old blood that the body is just trying to get rid of, so unless there is a foul odor this is quite normal. If you became pregnant during a cycle you would initially miss a period, and implantation bleeding would occur. Implantation bleeding occurs a bit earlier than expected, and it is scanty, spotty, pinkish and not red and heavy like a period, and does not follow the normal pattern of a period (light to heavy to light). If you feel you may be pregnant, your best bet is to wait at least two weeks after a missed period, and see your doctor for a blood pregnancy test as this is the most accurate way of testing.

Spotting around the time of your period is an indicator that you might have become pregnant. Use a home pregnancy test with your first morning pee and see what it says. You might have to repeat with a new test after a few days if you don't get a result right away.

This happens to a lot more people than you think. Especially teenagers. I've always had abnormal periods myself and still ended up getting pregnant, so I wouldn't worry about it. If it still concerns you, go to your doctor and talk to them about getting on birth control to help regulate your periods. Like I said, it especially pertains to teenagers, but usually your body doesn't become really "regular" until your mid 20's or so(granted every woman is diffrent ). I hope this helps!

It could be an indication that you're pregnant. Brownish spotting is old blood, not new blood. I'd definitely take a pregnancy test.

Possibly. Sometimes when the fertilized egg implants into the uterine wall there is a small amount of bleeding that can be brown. If it's time for your period to start, it's time for a test. Run to the store girl- and good luck to you and your hubby!

are you due for a period?? If it is very light it could be what is called implantation bleeding or a pregnancy that did not imbedd well.

It could be implantation spotting, meaning you're pregnant.
