I don't know if this is where I need to ask this..if this isn't the right place please let me know.
I normally have super regular cycles. Like start on the same date, at the same time on the dot cycles.
In May I had my regular cycle.
In June I was 8 days late...with several negative HPTs
then about 18 days later I started again..two full periods in one month.
Now in July I only had spotting 5 days after my period was due to start. It has been brown and black and never heavy enough to fill even a regular tampon. i had a little red blood but not enough to convince me that this was a period. the entire week I have had weird achey cramps that almost feel like bad gas pains...different than menstrual cramps, super tired and achey. I took HPTs on the second and third day i was late and both were negative. I am still spotting..going on the 6th day today.
So my questions are:
Do i count this as a period?
If so would the day i count as the first day be when I started spotting?

Help! thanks in advance ladies!

Ooh, I'm going to be no help at all as I am very irregular and rarely have a period. Just wanted to offer hugs! Hopefully one of the ladies here is more helpful. Or may I suggest posting in the TTC forum. GL!

thanks anyway!

I think you should call your doctor. I'm not sure about miscarriages, but maybe you had a partial or missed miscarriage and for whatever reason the HPT isn't picking up the hcg. Or it could just be something like an annovulatory cycle messing things up, or something like a fibroid causing the irregular bleeding.
