Spotting?

I've had an irregular period since I first started at age 14. It usually charted to every 52 days. However, during this spring break, at the age of 17, I contracted bronchitis and had to take some very harsh antibiotics that caused me to possibly get my period early, but it was much lighter than usually and very thick and mucus like. I had a normal period afterward sometime in April, then a weird spotting ish one at the end of may. Is it spotting? It lasted 5 days and I cramped a little like usual periods... Any help with what's going on would be appretiated.

Sounds like you've had a bad go of the whole period ordeal.

If you've had unprotected sex then you could do a home pregnancy test, but otherwise I would say that it's just your "typical" irregular period.

Have you ever been tested for endometriosis?

Uh what's that? And I'm Abstinant, really unlikely I'm pregnant

I had a bit of a scare when my bf touched me with precum on his hands but it was clearly dried out by the time he did. And the other day he came on the couch next to me for the first time ever but I wasn't near his ejaculatory fluid at all. You see, I have very bad anxiety and just SEEING that has made me feel like maybe I am pregnant. I can talk myself out of it but it still keeps me up at night. This weird period was 7 days ling and I'm pretty sure it was way too heavy to be spotting. I mostly come to this sight for reassurance that I am being safe and have nothing to worry.. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can someone please talk to me? Medical advice is so iffy lately. In my book it said if your period was altered you might still be pregnant, but it also said that irregular periods in teenagers, especially under high cases of stress, is normal! Iv had no morning sickness or aversion to foods. Iv had no cravings. I do feel bloated and guilty, but that's gotta be my anxiety... Any help would be so appreciated! Please

You're not pregnant. I'm not too sure why you're still concerned about that---likely due to your anxiety, but you need to put it out of your head. As for the spotting, it can be caused by numerous things, and in some women can be perfectly normal. However, it's impossible to say if in this case it is, or if it indicates something else. What sort of flow was this weird bleed you had. Did you need use of feminine products, was it similar to a regular cycle, what was the colour, etc etc. Any information you can give on it would help a lot.

Hey there,

I thought I just read in your last post where we talking last week that you started your period on June 19th?  I don't think you are pregnant, but I do think that if you and your boyfriend are going to practice unsafe sex (vaginal or not) that you should think about being more careful or using protection as it seems to send your anxiety levels way up there.  You certainly don't need this type of undue stress at this age, especially when it is preventable.  Good luck to you :)

The real reason I'm still anxious about this was because there was another incident on the 25. I know there was no possible way at the time that it put me in any danger but things just gnaw at me... I thought I had control of my mind by now, since I had talked to him. The day he got home from a week long camp, I jerked him off. We both got up to wash our hands. He knew that I had been worrying and we thought maybe if we did something, but absolutely safely, I could stop worrying about the other times. Well, he was teasing me how sticky his pants were and was feeling that and a couple minutes later he playfully grabbed my leg right between my knee level and hip. I remember his hands were completely dry. What bothers me is that I had really short shorts on (and underwear underneath) and i'v heard those horror stories about guys cumin on a girls inner thigh and her getting pregnant. We didn't have any further contact I need to worry about that night or past... I told him that didn't help at all and he said it was fine that we completely stop all activity and he was sorry that I couldn't let go of the stress. I finally took a pregnancy test on the 28th for the earlier incident, and the results were as expected. After a full day of just giddy excitement, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I immediately started worrying about this. It's stupid and obvious but it still keeps me up at night and I can't take a test for it until 2 weeks time has passed. Though I know I have nothing to worry about consciously, unconsciously I just can't stop obsessing

Oh haha I did comment about that. It was the thing about being on the couch earlier. I'm sory to be a Debbie downer and I know i'v made multiple mistakes but you guys' comments really give me peace when I wake up at 3 in the morning in a panic

[Viki113]

I just still can't sleep at night thinking about this

Anyone who wants to comment is so welcome, it really helps me so much
