My periods have always been like clockwork. When I was pregnant with my daughter I spotted brown 2 weeks after the date I should've started. And with my son I spotted the day I should've started. Also when I was 3 months pregnant with my son I took 2 pregnancy tests at home, both negative. Then I took 2 more at the doctors office which came back negative till they took blood work which came back positive. Now with my daughter, I breastfed her for 13 months, I didn't get my period till a month after I stopped. I'm still breastfeeding my son, he'll be 1 year old next month. And I started my period last month on the 18th. I had intercourse with hubby and we all know the pull out method doesn't always work. I took a pregnancy test last week, negative. I'm 8 days late and just started cramping today. Then I started brown/pink spotting. I've heard of irregular periods while breastfeeding, this is a first for me. Is brown/pink spotting normal while breastfeeding? Or possible pregnancy?

It's very common for breastfeeding to cause irregular periods due to the delay in ovulation. If you just got your period back last month it could take awhile, even though your periods were regular last time.
Mine were always 28 days like clockwork even through breastfeeding until this last time, my first cycle returned when my daughter was 8 months old and that cycle was 27 days, the next was 30 days, and the next I conceived. (was TTC). If you start having pg symptoms I'd go in for a blood test.
p.s...........way to go on the extended nursing!!!

Yeah it is normal for breastfeeding. But for you its not normal, so I'd take tests again or go have blood work done.
