Hi--
I've had a relatively normal period for awhile (occasionally early/late but always the same general time period). Typically the bleeding lasts 5-7 days, however this month, approximately 5 days before expected, I got my period. The bleeding was the same amount as normal, the same color, and everything. However, after 3 days, it stopped. After a day or so, there was dark spotting which lightened in the following days. I am sexually active and use protection most of the time. Could I be pregnant? What else would cause this?
