Hi ladies- I'm searching for a bit of advice or general thoughts.

I'm currently on cycle day 25 and typically start my period on day 24-26. However, for the last seven days I have been spotting with no period in sight. When I say spotting, I only notice a small amount of blood after wiping.

I've used a tampon a few times thinking my period was starting, but every time I removed one nearly nothing was on it. The blood has ranged from dark brown to red.

I have also taken a handful of pregnancy tests using first morning urine and all have come out as negative.

Do you think the seven days of spotting is just my cycle for this month? Everything I've found says a period starts when you saturate a pad or tampon and that hasn't happened.

What do ya'll think?
