Pregnancy Scare?
OK, this is my first time doing one of these things online, so if anyone is full of knowledge, or a professional, or something, I would be greatly appreciative. I am normally not the type to be worried about being pregnant, but this past month I've been very scared, I came home from college and my boyfriend and I had sex all the time this past month, normally without a condom, because I'm an idiot and honestly thought you couldn't get pregnant if he pulled out, only to find out later that you really can. Also, I had heard that a woman is ovulating on days 8-11 of her period, so i avoided those days, but I later discovered that each woman has a different time to ovulate, and it depends on your letheal phase, or something, so now I believe I was ovulating most of the time we were having sex without a condom, even though he pulled out. So now it is June 1, my period is sometimes very irregular, yet sometimes on course, which makes this even more difficult to track or understand what is going on. I got my last period on May 3, and I can't say when exactly I should get it, since my period at times is very irregular I don't keep track like I know I should, but, still, I should be getting it around now, right? well my period is normally very heavy, and i have terrible cramps. Last night I was very crampy and today I've been bleeding, but its only been light brownish and pinkish, morely light brownish, and very very slight, like practically not there. This normally never occurs to me, and I'm not really that crampy currently. I read how when implanation occurs this type of bleeding may happen. So, I need some advice! Does anyone think its my period, or I may actually be pregnant? What else can I look for if I am pregnant? How long should it continue to bleed like this if its a sign of pregnancy? God I hope I'm not pregnant. Please, advice on this would be great.
To the both of you that commented, thank you. My period did get much heavier and my excruciating cramps have completely arrived. I now know that this is in fact my period, and not spotting or bleeding due to preganancy. Still, I do plan on taking a pregnancy test about a week or so after my period ends, just to make sure. I suppose hypochondria has entirely taken over my mind. After that I'm getting on birth control, I already have far too much constantly worrying my poor mind, and I don't need further pregnancy scares adding to the excessive stress. I just wanted to state this for the record.
To be entirely honest it sounds to me like you could be pregnant but don't panic yet, take a pregnancy test. It's the only way to know for sure.
