Could I be pregnant? Did I test to early?

I'm sorry this is so long, I tired making it as short as possible! Please bare with me.
Me and my boyfriend, of 2 years the end of the month, had sex durring my time of ovulation. However last night we had sex and I had bleeding almost immediately after! We did use a condom but not the eintire time, only at the end so he didn't fully ejaculate inside of me, but obviously there was pre-***. I was supposed to start my period on the 21st, it's now the 23rd, and my periods are usually quite heavy, this bleeding was abormal even for me. It abrubtly started and was not heavy or even moderate...more like lightly flowing red blood, it wasn't painful at all, just there. I was wondering if this was implantation bleeding or something else entirely. It was mostly suprising to us because it started IMMEDIATELY after having sex.
It has only lasted one day and about two days of congealed blood after that, now it's COMPLETELY gone.
It was NOTHING like my period, usually my period starts off extremely heavy and tapers off. This is definately not my period. It showed ver very little on the mini-pad I was wearing. It only lasted about a day and now is an EXTREMELY small smount of conceagled blood on the tissue when I wipe.
And we did have sex while I was ovulating about 5 days proor to this. So Im' not sure if it was from the sex or not, only the sex we had wasn't rough or anything...actually it was the way we usually do it and there really wasn't any way of it being from that.
I'm sorry, I forgot to state that the sex wasn't rough. It was just regular sex. And I do know that a small amount of blood is completely normal after sex, and I do bleed a little sometimes. But this is unlike anythng I've ever had before. It was honestly kind of scary, obvously, but now I'm just plain confused.
I'm already 3 days late and I took and HPT yesterday but it came out negitive, but I don't know if it's too soon to test or not. I've been very very tired, nautious and have been having these weird "cramp-like" sensations in my lower abdomen and legs.
Thank you all for taking the time to respond and help me out the best you can
If anybody had experienced this before or has any clue as to what it might be please let me know, I'm extremely confused!
Thank You in advance.

It could be that you tested early. Im currently pregnant and i took a test about two days after i missed my period and it came back neg. then about three days later i took hardley see it. So i would look at the test again if you still have it look at it in the sun maybe its a really light line. Or wait a few days and retest, it could be implantation bleeding as well that happend to me also. Oh and the cramping is very normal if you are pregnant. Does it feel like your going to start your period but theres nothing?
by Lena1332, Mar 24, 2008 11:30PM
YES! That's exactly it! And I went to the free clinic and had an HPT done and it came out BFN there too! I'm so confused, and I still haven't started yet, it's about 5 days late now. I REALLY wish I had health insurance right now, heh. I could just go and get this all sorted out. I don't even know what to think anymore. :(

Don't worry my husband and I are going through the same thing. All they symptoms, but no positive tests. I think it just may be to early to test. My period is due until monday. I'm just not patient enough to wait that long!

Well you probably are pregnant, to me it sounds like you are you might have just tested to early. That happend to me so maybe...Um since you dont have insurance you should try going to like the medical office and getting like temp medical, that way you could go to the doc. Or you could also go to the local hospital and ask the obgyn in the hospital for presumtive medical so that you could see a doc. I did that and they gave me it for two months and they have really good docs you could go to.

I am in the SAME boat. My husband and I are TTC, we had intercourse on all fertile days. On the 29th we had intercourse and I was bleeding. Then blood for another day and a clot. Then brown discharge now nothing, just creamy discharge... My boobs are sore and I am nauseous all morning also headaches and really thirsty! I wonder what is up. Good luck to you!

I just had a baby eight months ago and have had normal periods since. A few days ago I was to start my period and only bled for one day and not heavy at all. I am not breastfeeding and now I have milk again which seems odd since I haven't had milk for about 7 months now. Could I be pregnant again? I am 38 years old and was wondering if it is easier to get pregnant the older you get? Thanks!
