17, what to do?

[emackk]

Okay, so I was supposed to get my period of the 26th of February. I have a cycle of 35 days or so. Just before my period I always get brownish/old bleeding for a few days.. (odd but thats what happens). So on the 22nd of February I started spotting, the blood was very light red and only appeared when I went to the washroom. By the end of that day it was much redder, but not much heavier at all. It lasted until the next day. But I only had to use panty liners which was odd, since my period are normally very heavy. I am not sure if I will be getting my period, but it has been gone ever since, and I have been fine, no bleeding or spotting. I have however, had mild pain in my lower abdomen and I have felt very nauseous. I have also had an abnormal amount of gas.. I was just wondering if I should take a test, or if it is stupid to worry about?
Anything, Please!

if you're not on b/c and having unprotected sex then you have a high chance of being pregnant. definately get an hpt or go to your ob and have a blood test done.

the bleeding/spotting you're having could be implantation bleeding.

okay, thanks.
yeah i doubt i have an STI.
and i have had sex.
i went off of birth control about five months ago...
and there have been many incidents lately where i have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend of three years.
but thank you.
and i went and bought a test.
i just have to work up the courage to take it.
:), thanks again.

if you have had sex then yes take a test.
even if you havent you could still take a test because stress can delay your period
if a test is negative you may have an STI or just something wrong. its nothing to worry about just get to a docs or a OB/GYN
unfortunately hun none of us on here can really help but taking a test wouldnt be stupid.
good luck
