Strange and kinda gross

Possible TMI

So this month AF was late 3 days which is unusual but she finally shows up.. or so I thought. Turns out it's just really really really light spotting. Like no tampon, pad, or pantyliner required spotting. So I took a test. Negative.
Well now I've got these tiny pimples ALL over my chest, neck, and face. I thought they were hives but they are tiny white dots and they don't really itch.. I don't have perfect skin but this I've never had anything like this before. It just looks kinda gross because there are so many of them all over my top half.
Any ideas wtf is going on with me? I don't think it's enough to need to go see a doctor but it's really weird. I haven't changed laundry soap of body wash or anything like that either.

That's really weird! I wouldn't think the 2 things would be related though. Have you been really stressed recently? I've missed periods due to stress before, and I break out really bad...maybe that's what it could be?

I really thought I was pregnant for a minute (well three minutes to be exact). I was a little stressed over that but not enough for the breakout. I was mostly just worried what H would say if I was. He wants to wait a few more years for kids (I don't but if he's not ready then why rush). We have talked about if it happens to happen and he said he would be okay with it, he jut doesn't want to actively try yet. So I wasn't too stressed.. I dunno it's just weird timing if they aren't related events ya know..

I'd test again in a few days. Also I don't think your little bumps are related but if they don't clear up in a few days I'd go to the doctor.

I thought maybe my hormones were off causing the break out but I just don't know. I'll take your advice and work on the assumption the two aren't related just a bad coincidence. I tested the first day after I was late then again today after the "spotting" started. So I will probably test again if things don't pick up in the next day or so.
H saw the spots all over my chest at dinner and asked what it was I said I didn't know then when I was getting ready for bed I washed my face and noticed they had started showing up all over my neck and face. So I took a good look at me and they are all over my chest not so much on my actual boobs but a few then they go up my shoulders a little then up the sides of my neck all over my cheeks and chin but not so much on my forehead and nose.
I'm a weirdo...

Sun spots? Have you been in the sun more then usual? Has your skin been more exposed then normal? My friend had them every summer when she would stay in the sun more often and in a bathing suit

No it's rainy season here so it's sunny like one day a week . Thanks for trying to help though! Everything I find says if it's not itchy it's probably just acne. I hardly ever break out and when I do it's usually just one huge pimple in a really noticeable location

I am with Pink if it doesn't go away in a few days I would go to the doctor

I agree. All that together sounds like a good reason for a doctor visit. Sometimes, too, things can throw hormones out of whack and make your period late or light.

I've had those bumps on my chest before as well. They just cleared up on their own. It slmost looked like baby acne. It was awful. But, I think I blamed hormones. Also, I've had a period like that. Periods can be thrown off and you can have spotting like that. test once a week until your period shows. If you go longer than 60 days with no period then see a doctor.
