possibly pregnant So scared please respond

So here is the deal. I have an eating disorder and i know how this can effect menstral period. I also had unprotected sex 2 weeks ago. At the time when i am normally supposed to get my period it started two days late(three days ago) and when it did it only lasted 3 hours. I don't know that the small amount that i did have shows that i'm not pregnant and is a sign of the eating disorder or if i could still be pregnant. i need someone to shine light on this subject.

Well I am having light pink discharge...from what I have read this is implantation bleeding when the fertalized egg implants...like I said this is usually a light pink discharge..mine is so little it's only when I wipe.  It has been happening for about 4 days now.  You can get a blood test which will show earlier results.  Also with my last pregnancy I took preg test after preg test and it didn't show positive until 1 week after my missed period.  I hope this helps some.  I know how hard not knowing can be.  Also wanted to tell you congrats on taking the steps to improve your eating disorder.  Best of luck in both of these journeys.

Definitely take a test.  I had the exact same thing happen to me...only we were trying to get pregnant.  I thought I had started my period, so I was crying (it was our official last cycle trying after 2 years).  I went in a couple hours later to change my tampon (sorry) and it was all but dry.  Then nothing for several days.  I finally took a test and got a BFP.  My son is now almost 3.

If you have an eating disorder it can cause you to completely miss your period. Implantation bleeding would happen about a week before your period is even due and that is only spotting. Sounds to me like your not pregnant. Take a test and if its negative wait a week and retest or go to your doctor and get checked out. Best of luck to you!

Well...I'm no doc, but I have done some reading, because me and my hubby are trying to get pregnant. I read that slight bleeding does happen after the embryo plants...or something like that.I think its called break through bleeding, among other things. Here i found this site...Go check it out. Hope it helps.

Hello...the first thing I would do is take a pregancy test...and take it from there. If it comes up negative, then I would wait about a week and take another one.But if you really want to be sure, see your doc.Hope everything works out for you.
