so i last had unprotected sex on july 13th and i thought i started my period on august 14th but ive been spotting brown, red, and pink for about 5 days now. last cycle i spotted for like 4 days and then started my actual period after those 4 days but im now on day 5 of this and no actual period. i’ve been under a lot of stress, i will say i took many tests and i took a final test about 25 days after sex w first morning urine, but i’m still worried about pregnancy. any input? also i have extremely irregular cycles

alright so basically i had unprotected sex on the 12th of july which was about 5 days after my period ended. he did not finish in me, and it was only for like 15 seconds, which i know still poses a risk, even if it’s unlikely. a week later i was stressed about it so i took a pink dye test and saw the FAINTEST FAINTEST line. my bf couldn’t see it and i could only see it at a certain angle. so then i go get blue dye tests, and there were faint lines on those, but i also know that they are not reliable. i know a week later is early, but i still saw the faint lines and freaked out. so then i took a first response and digital, both negative. so fast forward i got more clear blue pink dye tests, and they all had the same exact VERY faint lines. i took them 4 days apart but they still looked the same, the line didn’t get darker. i even tried it with water and didn’t see the line, but i know urine and water will react differently to the tests. so then fast forward to yesterday which is 16 days after sex. i took a first response with morning urine, negative. i also took a first response and digital on 15 days after sex, both negative. so now im waiting until 21 days after sex to take my final test. i haven’t even missed a period yet bc my periods are extremely irregular and usually 30-60 day cycles, so i know i probably wasn’t ovulating, but im still freaking out about the lines i saw on the tests. i took the very first test and the most recent test about 7-8 days apart, and the most recent ones are negative so idek what to think. i also took a blue dye tests the day before i took the most recent first response and there was a faint blue line on it even tho the first response was negative. the blue tests were very cheap so i don’t think i should trust them. i’ve also been cramping and having food aversions but i think the aversions are due to the anxiety over all this. i’ve also taken ovulation tests and my lh has just been going up and down like crazy so idek what to think. pls help

ok so last time i had sex was about 21 days ago and i think im ovulating right now, however i had very light bleeding today (im talking like a few brown spots) however i just took a test to be sure and it is negative. my last period was about 17ish days ago and it was just extremely lighter than normal so i wanted to be sure it didn’t have to do with pregnancy, can i trust this negative test?

i think i’m just being paranoid, but here’s what’s happening

my period was around 22 days late, which my period is pretty irregular, so it wasn’t anything crazy. but when i did get my period, i had light spotting for 4 days, and then i bled like normal for about 5 days. the spotting began around may 10th and then the heavier bleeding came around may 14th. the reason im worried is because the period was very light compared to my other periods. usually my periods are extremely heavy with severe cramping, but that period had mild cramping and lighter bleeding. the blood was red like a normal period but just a lot lighter than normal.
i will say, i’ve been under extreme stress during that cycle. according to my calculations, i also would’ve most likely ovulated around april 27th to may 3rd and i did not have sex around that time. i did have sex sometime in april and i had sex twice in may, sometime after may 4th. all times were protected (condom + pullout) and to my knowledge the condom did not break.
now i did take 4 tests, all clearly negative. the most recent test i took was on may 17th, which would’ve most likely been at least 14dpo. right now, i don’t feel like my normal self, i have kind of been having mood swings, and ive been hungrier than usual. i’ve also had mild cramping, but that happens after every period so im not particularly worried about that. my boyfriend is fully convinced i am not pregnant and just freaking myself out. i’m mainly worried because my periods are just never that light, and the 4 day spotting was a bit odd. am i just freaking myself out? i know i could take another test but i’ve already taken 5 in total (one of them was defective and showed no lines) so i’m just really not looking to spend more money on tests and i would like input from others before i do so. i would also like to add i have not had sex since the bleeding began. the last time i had sex was a few days before the 10th im not entirely sure which day.

so basically my period is 19 days late right now, and currently i have been spotting for 3 days. my period is usually pretty irregular, but it typically varies like a week. when my period was late i had protected (two forms of protection) sex only once during my cycle. i tested negative on a pregnancy test once like a few days after my missed period, again about two weeks, and again last night, all negative. however i’ve been spotting for 3 days. sometimes i will spot about a day before my period but never 3 days. the blood was brown/pink the first day and now its a bit of a darker red/brown. i did have sex twice since my period has been late but they were both protected. i’m just a bit confused because this doesn’t usually happen. i will say i have been under a lot of stress recently. is there a chance that i’m pregnant?

edit: i feel like i should also add that i have been cramping a lot during the first bit of my missed period but i haven’t really been cramping recently
