Periods Ended Earlier. Have Brown Discharge, Achy Breasts, Cravings. Pregnant?

My last period was on 04/29/13. It was a day late && unusually light. I wear tampons and usually i overflow especially for the first two days. This cycle much lighter than the norm and contained no blood clots which is also not the norm for me. It also ended a day early. I usually have a 5 day cycle and my periods are not irregular. About two days after my period i noticed a rusty brown discharge and thought of it as old blood. About three days after that, i just so happened to use the restroom and noticed three red spot in my undies. Lately i have had achy breasts. Sometimes i have cravings but i try not to over think it. Ive heard that females cannot have a period while pregnant but they can bleed some throughout pregnancy. Sometimes months at a time. My question is should i be concerned about pregnancy? Oh, i also took a pregnancy test this morning and it came back negative. Some women have also stated that they didn't show a positive pregnancy test until five months or so. I know my body well and this is very not normal. any advice would be great! thank you!

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The comparatively lighter period that you had this time is not likely to be due to pregnancy. This is more likely to be due to a minor hormonal imbalance. To be very sure, you can get your urine tested for pregnancy.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
