Light spotting for 13 days

I have PCOS which has gone untreated because I have no health insurance. However my menstrual cycle is anywhere from 28-38 days. July 6th I had a regular cycle and figured I would start around the 12th of August. I ended up starting on the 6th and have been spotting light pink to light brown ever since. It has now been 13 days and this is still occurring. At one point my fiancee and I had intercourse because I wasn't flowing and during this I didn't bleed at all until I had an orgasm.Then that was actually red but even after that no full on period started.I haven't even needed to wear any tampons or pads for protection because it is only when I wipe after urination. I have no cramping or any discomfort. I don't believe I can become pregnant without seeking treatment for PCOS, but I have no idea what is going on with my body. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? I have never experienced this. I am very concerned. What is wrong with me?

Your welcome! Well it definitely gives me hope hearing stories like yours!! I haven't taken one. I have gotten to the point where I actually hate taking them and seeing that negative response every time. I know I should anyways, it's just so discouraging not only for me but for him too. I hate having to tell him it's NEGATIVE! It *****!

Thank you! It is a good feeling, it wasn't planned, but I really didn't think I could get pregnant having PCOS.
Have you taken a HPT, just to be on the safe side?

Congrats on your pregnancy! That must be the best feeling ever! I have been spotting it's  very light pink to light brown and what was weird was when I went pee there were tiny little blood clot looking particles in the toilet.Not a lot just a few here and there. No it hasn't gotten heavier at all. My periods are normally 4-5 days long and I have all the pms symptoms tender nipples, cramping, headache, bloating. This time I didn't have one single symptom.

Hi, I have PCOS, too. I've never bleed for more than 7 days and ovarian cysts can burst at anytime, causing bleeding, but it's usually more than spotting like you are describing.
I really never was cautious when it came to sex with my boyfriends in the past because I thought I couldn't get pregnant without trying verrrry hard.
Now I'm four months pregnant, so it can happen.
So, you've been spotting? Has the flow ever gotten heavier, like a normal period? I would take an HPT just in case. I've never heard of implantation bleeding lasting that long, but things are different with PCOS. My sister also has it and she bled throughout her first pregnancy.
Let us know what happens, good luck!
