I have irregular periods. The last 5 months have been very regular. I had a period around Dec 7th. Im not on birth control per doctors orders so I use ovulation test to make sure before having intercourse. The last time we did anything the test was negative for ovulation. Weeks later feeling moody, nausea, etc. Then week and a half later started my period. It started Dec 29th. It has been quite a bit lighter than average and pretty much painless, minus the gassy pain. Which is not normal. I haven't had any cramps, usually they feel like im in labor again. (Correct me if im wrong but isn't the clots that come out part of the linning?) Only two very tiny clots came out. Ive been feeling similar symptoms to my last pregnancy. Ive been told that you can hope and obsess about pregnancy to the point where you have symptoms. The thing is, we're not trying to concieve, and this would be an unexpected one at that. What do any of you think? Thanks!

I forgot to mention, I have taken 3 of the at home pregnancy tests, but they were from the dollar store, does that make a difference? should I ask dr for a serum test?

Dollar store tests don't make a difference, except in your wallet. You could be psyching yourself into this, you could be just having another irregular period, or you could be pregnant. It's hard to tell from our point of view. There must be a reason that the doctor recommended you not to take BC. Could that reason be a playing factor here? My cycles were irregular in time and appearance. Turned out I had a medical condition that needed to be addressed.
All I can say is quit freaking out over it, and see your doctor. Even if you turn out to be not pregnant, you should probably discuss the change in the cycle itself, especially if it repeats later on.

The blood test is not more accurate than the urine test. I had a blood test that came out negative and the next day I took a urine home test that was positive.

After my wife had the first kids, she always felt pregnancy symptoms during pms or the cycle and still does.
