Light pink and brown first day of period after pregnancy scare, advice?

I had my last period February 24th until the 28th and me and my boyfriend had protected sex (condoms) the following weekend (March 10th-12th). The next weekend I began ovulating (March 18th) and we had protected sex that weekend as well. However the next weekend (March 24th-26th) he did not use a condom but was only in me for not even 30 seconds every time we did because he was a little paranoid without a condom. I usually have my period at least every 32 or so days apart and I usually get very scared that I'm pregnant. However I finally got my period today (April 1st) but I had very slight cramps before and my boobs hurt quite bad earlier in the day but are only a little tender now. But I was not bleeding like I was last period..on the first tampon I used there was only light pink and dark red or brown (blood?) on it. It is 11:57 at night and throughout the whole day barely anything has happened and I haven't felt any strong cramps yet...should I be worried about pregnancy or will my period hit stronger within the next few days? Any advice?

think about it this way, if you get a pregnancy test now will it really make a difference as opposed to a week from now or a month from now? the result will either be negative or positive no matter how long you wait because you are nervous about the outcome. atleast you can take comfort in the fact that you know and you won't have to wonder anymore. I would get a pregnancy test if i were you.

i know i am very paranoid because we aren't trying to get pregnant and I'm usually much more careful. so this is the second night of bleeding..so im hoping it says for the next 5 days..but i havent felt many strong cramps at all and my right boob started to itch above the nipple, not on it...my bleeding has become more normal and my appetite has definitely changed like it sometimes does during my period...all i'm worried about is the itching of my boob which i know could be a sign of pregnancy but i didnt think it happened until at least 3-4 weeks in...im sorry i sound crazy i know i just like getting as much advice as i can..testing can be scary especially if u dont want to be pregnant just yet..sorry!! :(

implanting bleeding normally lasts a day or 2. any longer is not good. no body can tell you if you are pregnant or not, the one thing that can is a pregnancy test. i would go get one. i hope your not, as it does not sound like its what you want...be more careful!!
