abnormal symptoms & bleeding

Hey hi hello.  I'm 17 years old (yes I'm very young) but I need help my mom works on a hospital but I feel like she wont give me an honest answer. Example I was really sick with the flu once more sick than I have been before and all she advised me to do was drink water? Anyways I've been with my bf for about 3 years and got on the pill about a year ago And we've always has unprotected sex. Not to mention I haven't always taken my pill on time
Or I wouldn't even take it due to forgetting to take it. (Very irresponsible.  Yes I know) we've never had any issues or questioned whether I may be pregnant until now. I've put off drinking the moment I thought I might be pregnant (yes I know I'm too young to drink but I feel like any information can help give me an accurate answer) so August I was late on my period. I'm not sure if it was my period but I was bleeding after my bf and I had sex. So I waited for it to pass which was about 5- 6days and when the bleeding was gone we did it again about 3 nights in a row.  I'm not sire if any of his spwrm had came out and he said he didn't know either which kind of worries Me. A week later I started getting side and low stomach pains.  Headaches and my back would ache. When I got up I would get very light headed and It would be very bright sometimes so bright o can barely see. I would catch myself wanting to throw IP but avoid it by swallowing it and letting it go back down. I've been getting a lot of pregnancy symptoms and my bf and friends seem to think I may be pregnant but I'm not sure. Anyways forward to September its the 26th and no sign of blood. So my bf and I had sex that night and it was somewhat rough and went to sleep afterwards
I woke up next morning with blood on my undies. I immediate put a liner on to monitor what color the blood was and how much of It was coming out. At first it was light with light red and brown. It then progressed to become a flow or heavier with light red and brown and clear egg white like discharge.  Not its red with clear wgf white like with something else maybe some tissue from inside or seomthing. I've heard people bleeding heavily or getting their.periods and.still being pregnant
PLEASE HELP!

The bleeding should have no effect on the outcome of the home pregnancy test, as it is testing for the pregnancy hormone in your urine, which is in no way connected to the bleeding from your vagina. Though if you don't feel comfortable with that, take the home pregnancy test after you have stopped bleeding. If the bleeding is like your normal period, then you are unlikely to be pregnant, but if it is different than normal, you definitely want to find out what is going on. Take the home pregnancy test with first morning urine, right when you wake up, as that will be the most concentrated, making it easier to detect the pregnancy hormone(hcg). Do keep in mind though that many other things can cause an off period or "pregnancy symptoms", such as stress, PMS, hormonal fluctuations, medication side effects, illness, weight changes, and so on. If the stomach pains are extreme, see your doctor asap. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry much about it.

No I'm not trying to get pregnant, but if I were to be I feel like it would give me more motivation to finish my education anyways . and if i'm not then i still have the motivation for a solid future later on in life when i do decide to have kids. i heard taking a test while bleeding wouldn't be accurate. do you have any advice on when i should test? or should i just go to the dr. as of now i have stomach pains but its not like cramps, its a little higher than my lower stomach. I just came home from the gym but didn't do much because i dont feel very well

You can't have a period while pregnant. Some women have bleeding while pregnant and will mistake this for their period, but it is not a true period. Having unprotected sex puts you at a great risk for being pregnant, but you will just have to wait and see what happens now as it is too late to take the morning after pill. You can take a home pregnancy test 2 weeks after having sex or after a missed period and both should give you an accurate result. If you are pregnant, you may want to look into adoption as another choice to think about. You can have either an open or closed adoption, depending on your preferences. In this case you can give your baby up to a family that is ready and prepared for a baby and also desperately wants a child, but can't on their own. Doing that would allow you the opportunity to focus on your future, do well in school and go to college. Are you trying to get pregnant?

That's what I had thought but I read a lot of posts on various websites saying they got their period and were still pregnant
Whether I'm pregnant Or not ill definitely stop drinking and I feel like if I am pregnant I wouldn't really have a choice because I don't believe in abortion. But that's just my personal opinion
A friend of mine got an abortion So that she can continue to drink of course she is already 21. What are my chances of being pregnant. I know I might sound desperate and want to be pregnant I just don't want to make any decisions or rake part in physical sports that would harm the baby. But Thank-you for your advice:]

Its not tissue its your cervical mucas. No worries its completely normal. The only way to be sure would be to take a pregnancy test. You can not get your period if you are pregnant but sometimes you can bleed. However it sounds like it is just your regular period acting a little irregular. If you are not ready to have a child make sure you take your birth control most people it takes at least a month after quitting to get pregnant anyways. Also if you have trouble remembering to take the pill their are other options such as shots and inserts where you get the shots every 3 months and the ring can stay in as long as you want. Look if you are not ready to be a mom you need to be more careful and take this scare as a life lesson. If you are drinking and partying and only 17 thats no life for a baby when you are a baby yourself. So get a test.
