Possibly pregnant, implantation bleeding? Scared!
I don't even know where to begin, only because I feel like I might be over thinking... but I'm driving myself insane!
When it comes to that time of the month, I'm like clockwork. I've never had an irregular cycle in my life. October and November I got it both between the 15th and the 20th (I don't even know the exact date off hand.) Last month I had sex right before and right after my period, both times starting without a condom and then using one about half way through (I know >_<) I'm not on any birth control at all and as far as I would be aware, the condom didn't break.
I still have about 5 to 10 days before I'm supposed to get my period, but on the 4th of this month I noticed a light pinkish blood after I used the bathroom. That alarmed me right away because I've never seen that before. I would hardly even call it bleeding. It lasted for maybe two hours before it stopped, I kept checking every time I used the bathroom. Should I be thinking that was implantation bleeding? It happened about 2 and a half weeks after my last period ended. Some things online that I read said that it was too early before my period for it to be implantation bleeding, but I wanted to see what you guys with experience thought! The 4th was the first and last day that it happened, It hasn't happened since.
There are a few more things though.
Saturday night (The 7th) my boyfriend was cooking dinner and I started to get this really weird, I don't even know how to explain it, excited feeling in my stomach/abs? It started out of no where and lasted for a good 20 minutes before I actually got sick. That kinda freaks me out as well. It felt like I had the worst butterflies in my stomach that I've ever had before. I only ate a few bites of dinner after being sick before I decided to stop eating and go lay down for a while, which seemed to help.
My breasts are also tender, but this would be the normal time for them to get sore before I get my period. Sometimes they don't hurt at all, sometimes they are unbearable, that is something that always varies.
I'm exhausted too, but that is a come and go thing for me, I think I'm anemic to begin with. But I slept great last night and actually took two naps today... and was still exhausted.
And lastly, I have no idea if this has anything to do with it, but I've been SO THIRSTY for the past 6 hours. I've been chugging tea and water and chewing on ice cubes... and it just doesn't help! I've had times where I'm really thirsty, but nothing like this. It's obnoxious!
I'm 23 years old, been dating my boyfriend for about 8 months now... and I'm scared!!
I keep psyching myself out and I'm just putting myself in a big panic. I just wanted to pop on here and see what you guys thought?
And would it be too early to take a pregnancy test?
My boyfriend knows about everything that's going on, but I've told him not to think about it too much until I get my period... or don't. I've told that to myself too, but I'm clearly not listening to myself!!

Your welcome, hope you get the results you're looking for. :-) keep us posted and feel free to come back and ask any questions. That what new friends are here for. :-)
Thank you so much!
I can't help but stress out, I've been a bit more relaxed about it the past day and a half though. Not sleeping like I should be, but I have heartburn like a BEAST almost all night. And it's been bad all day today too. Had some dizziness and sickening feeling today too, but I'm also fighting off a cold, So that may have something to do with it too.
I'm going to test on sunday and if it comes back negative I'm going to test again during the week (or see if I miss my period)
Thank you so much for the reply!

:-) it happens, its exciting but at the same time nerve wrecking...it sux!! But on the subject, there could be a chance that you are, especially since you had sex before and after your period. I think it may still be early to test you may want to wait till you actually miss your period. But try not to stress so much cuz that may also cause your period to get thrown off a bit if you are not already pregnant. Good luck!!
