Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
Your concern is really appreciated. it is very usual to have spotting between menstrual periods so in your case I would recommend just wait another 2 weeks and keep record of your days with spotting or bleeding. Repeat the urinary pregnancy test every 3 days during this time. If you have been having unprotected intercourse during this time the risk for pregnancy is there even though you had negative pregnancy tests. You can start to take folic acid 400 ui/day now just in case you are pregnant and you would like this pregnancy to be healthy till you learn for sure you are not pregnant.
If the irregular spotting/bleeding continues and you are having negative pregnancy tests you will need to see a doctor. If your last pap smear was earlier than 3 years ago you will need one soon. The doctor might do a gynae visit and ask for vaginal ultrasound also and routine check of the secretions for infections and blood tests might be needed also.
Hope this answers to your question and is helpful to you
