I am 35 and a divorced mother of two sons ages 13 & 7 and have been with someone new for almost a year now. We aren't trying for a baby, but wouldn't be upset should it happen. My periods since the birth of my last son have been heavy, last for about 5 days (2 days of spotting, 3 days heavy) and on a 21 day cycle. My last "normal" period was around May 21 and it was the same as always. My boyfriend got back into town May 29th and we've had unprotected sex almost everytime we've had sex since he got back. I knew my period would be starting again around the middle of June and I started spotting but that was all I did. It lasted about 4 days and I kept thinking I was about to start. I went to the bathroom many times thinking "it was time" only to find nothing but spotting. But it was so light, I didnt even have to use a pad. I guess I've had other "symptoms" as well, my nipples have been a little more sore to the touch, more sensitive. A little more frequent urination but not running to the bathroom every hour or anything like that. A little more emotional I think but I tend to be emotional anyway.. but I have cried a few times over simple things in the last 2 weeks. I've had some constipation, some heartburn but again these things COULD be contributed by life in general.

I havent taken a test because I keep thinking I'm not pregnant but my boyfriend thinks I am. Is it too early for a test, should I give it a little longer or was the spotting I did have... could that have just been a light period?? It's been years since my last pregnancy and neither were anything similar so I don't know what to compare this to.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
