My last period started July 30th. I had unprotected sex on August 23 around 1130pm. I noticed some light spotting yesterday morning 8/26/11 around 9am but it was much lighter than my usual period flow is and I didn't need a tampon. I noticed the same thing later in the evening and put a tampon in incase it was my period but my periods are never early they are usually late and heavy and this is very light. Could I be pregnant? Could it be implantation bleeding? I thought my period was supposed to start Tuesday and this really doesn't seem like a normal period.

Hello all. I can see there are many comments on here but I'm hoping someone will reply. I am 22, and only 2 months off getting married. My fiancée are hoping to conceive between now and a week after our day. My cycle isn't 'normal because I've only been of the pill for about 3 months. My last period was July 25th. Can anyone help. I feel sick about morning tea time too, before I eat too. I can't wait to be a mummy!! Any advice?? I'm going to have to go back to my doctor. Thank you
