The past few days I have been under a Significant amount of stress. For the past 3 days, i have been dealing with some very hard relationship issues and have been under more stress than i can ever remember in the past. However some strange things have to happen around weird times. I am about one week out from my period. Last month I had it and was slightly worried about could have gotten pregnant, took a test and all was fine. Since then my partner and I have had sex occasionally. I have been on Birth control for a long time, and a certain brand for the last few months now. We only had sex one or two times without a condom on top of taking birth control but even when we didnt have a condom for backup, he never ejaculated into me. However, i don't know if what im experiencing is from great stress or what, but just the other day, a week out from my period, I had some black gooy chunky menstrual fluids, and the next day after, today, i have slight cramps and tender breasts. What could this mean? Could I be pregnant? Is it Stress? or is it something else?
I have changed pills a few months back, but never experienced anything like this until now. How effective really are these pills? ya ya i know 99 percent, but really, I always here of people only trusting that with a condom as well. And what is the deal with the black looking period. Can periods come early, or things that look like periods?
