Basically, I've never really had regular periods, especially as I got older and put on weight. I'm now 22. But since July last year my periods have been very regular, starting around the middle of the month and lasting at least 7 days. My last proper period started 19th January. Expected my next period around 22nd Feb. On 12th Feb I started what seemed like a light period and just assumed my period had come really early. There wasn't really a flow, didn't have to wear a tampon and it was only there on and off when I wiped. That lasted a day and a half. I did have a bit of cramping but nothing like my normal cramps. The next day, I started to feel really really sick and put off by a lot of food. The sickness lasted all day for about 4 days. Then when that went away, I started to get cramps around the 22nd so I thought AF was on the way but it never came, but I continued to cramp on and off. That lasted about a week. I've taken HPT's and they came back BFN. So I assumed that I wasn't pregnant and moved on. On the 17th and 18th of this month, I had spotting. Only happened once both days and was barley anything. Literally just a few spots of watery red. My period was due on 23rd. I've never spotted before a period before. On the 23rd nothing happened during the day (which I was okay with because it was my partner and mine anniversary), but when I went to the toilet at night, when I wiped the paper was brown and there was a tiny clot so it was like okay, AF arrived on time. Got home and put a tampon in. Got up during the night for the toilet, removed the tampon and nothing. Didn't bother putting another one in. The next day, there was only blood when I wiped once and it was a pinky/reddy colour. And that was it. Nothing after that.
I haven't really had any symptoms of pregnancy. Felt nauseous a couple of times. Had a couple of vivid dreams about being pregnant, had shooting pains in both breasts (which has now gone) and I've started to get red pimples on both breasts. Also, I have a vein that can always been seen on my left breast that has got darker so I don't know what that is about. Also, the two most recent HPT's I took both looked like they had a very very very faint second like. Both appeared within the time, but could only be seen when under a light. Both have a tiny hint of pink but really don't know what to make of them. I don't want to get my hopes up and believe that I'm pregnant so for the time being I have dismissed them.
Has anyone ever experienced anything similar? What was the outcome?
Sorry for the TMI and the essay.

Holli, your early signs are not strong enough to convince me you are pregnant. Run yet one more test to be sure. Hormones can be upset by glandular malfunction or ovarian cysts. Could your weight gain be a factor? When was your last annual check up?

I plan on testing again next week. I wouldn't have thought the weight gain had anything to do with it and I don't have annual check ups
