Is it possible I could be pregnant?

I'm in a steady relationship, and a child would be really welcome, although we weren't exactly looking right now. Anyways, I'm a week late today, which has made me hopeful, but this morning I've starting experiencing some very very light pink spotting, only when I wipe after peeing. Generally, if I get any spotting, it's a sign my period is imminent, but it's been 8 hours and I've just had that very light on and off spotting.

Since we weren't really working on conceiving, I haven't wanted to take a home pregnancy test yet, as I don't want to get my hopes up (although I'm generally quite regular, 3 days late at most).

My question is the following: has anyone had this happen and then been pregnant? I don't want to be disappointed if I get my period, but I don't know if I have reasons to be hopeful yet.

    A little bit of spotting in early pregnancy is normal. I know your scared to be disappointed however, it's best you take a test so you can know for sure. The more you stress about whether or not you are the more at risk you put yourself. And stress will also affect your periods. Good luck!
