Could spotting be counted at one day of your period??

[1979ng]

Hi Ladies,

I started to get spotted off and on last month on the 26 and 27 and than staring bleeding on the 28. Its lasted about 3-4 days and very light. I usually get my period on day 28 and very regular. Today is day 29 and still no AF. I had sypmtoms starting last week, feel like vomitting, tired, leg cramp, bloated, hard to breathe at night especially by i turn sideway, headache most of the time and sore boobs.I tested on wednesday which is a day before my period and the result came back negative. So my question is since i started to get spotted on the 26 of March that mean today would be day 31. or spotting doesn't count??? Any tips???

If you think you might be pregnant take a home pregnancy test.  If not and you are simply concerned about a change in your menstruation, follow your menstrual pattern over the next three months and if significantly altered, present that information to your ob/gyn.

i would suggest do repeat home pregnancy test after a week. I know it is too hard to wait. but u have too. I had the same symtoms (had light period than unlike usual) but no pregnancy. it is hard to listen if u r TTC.

if u spot after 3 pm then it is called one day if u spot before 3 pm then no.
