Accepted Answer

Re-test: You might want to repeat the home pregnancy test and if it is negative but you still suspect pregnancy, get a blood test. These variations in your period may be due to stress, hormonal imbalances, or normal variation. Eat well, exercise, and manage your stress in a positive way (e.g. Yoga). Symptoms like these are best evaluated in person by your physician.

Possibly!: If you are sexually active, and not using birth control, then irregular bleeding can definitely be a sign of pregnancy.  Here is what you need to do:

1.  Do a pregnancy test
2.  Repeat the test in one and two weeks
3.  If your bleeding problem persists, call your ob/gyn for an appointment

two periods in one month a week apart the second one is brown/black blood with this mucus like brown cloud and very painful please help?

See your doc so she can examine you and rule out something more serious
