Hello,
I am expecting my period on the 26th of July (I suppose that's a day from now considering it's passed 12 AM), and I received what I thought was my period mid day on the 24th of July (Yesterday). To this moment the flow has been very light and the color of the blood has been a dark brown color (Thick in consistency). I'm 20 years old and am currently taking an oral contraceptive. My boyfriend and I engage in sexual intercourse at least 6 days a week. My concern is with the color, consistency and flow of my "period". So, I have been adamantly searching the internet for the last hour or so and have found many possibilities for the cause of my strange "period". Miscarriage, implantation bleeding (early pregnancy in general), several worry worth medical conditions, and even just the simple possibility that my period has come a few days early. I have been experiencing symptoms of early pregnancy, such as: tender breasts, emotional sensitivity, light to mild cramping after achieving orgasm, headaches and fatigue. However, many of these symptoms also occur about a week prior to my period. At this point I'm just concerned, there's no place open at the moment where I'd be able to get a pregnancy test so I've decided to seek knowledge here. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
