Well, it could be some form of hormonal changes causing a bit of breakdown of the endometrium before your period actually starts. It doesn't look like a sign of pregnancy, at least not as you described it.

With a first response test, u can do one a few days earleir than your period.

I think your stressing out to much, stress causes u to miss your period.

Its unlikley that your pregnant, wait till your period is spossed to get here, not that I think it will arrive on time, because your so stressed about it.

Thanks...Im trying to relax, I guess I realized that im not ready to be having sex with just using a condom because im too worried about getting pregnant. I got bc pills the other day from the clinic at my university, the nurse told me to use a backup form of protection for a month because that is how long it takes the pills to work. I dont plan on having sex untill the pills are working and we will also use a condom! I dont think im pregnant just paranoid!
