Hi, I need some serious advise - me and my partner had sex for the first time in 3 years, we did not have protected sex but he pulled out before the climax, but I took a morning after pill because I heard that you can still get pregnant through pre-***, is this true? The morning after pill flipped my monthly period totally off track which I understand. We had sex again but right after that I started bleeding? Could this be my period or is this abnormal? I bleeded for 3 days heavy but my cycle is usually 5-6 days. What could this mean? I took a HPT and the result was negative. We started to have protected sex. It happend this friday and the saturday afternoon I started bleeding, firts it was a dark dark red and then tonight (Sunday) it was a light light red. What can this mean? Please help ASAP.

Hi I been having the same as you! I'm 10 DPO and yesterday started a light period. I didn't expect my period until the 20th but it started on the 15th. Lost hope of being pregnant :( I have all the symptom but a negative test and a light period. I was hoping it is to early to test and the bleeding is from implantation. Your experience has giving me hope! I wish to know more details about your light period or implantation bleeding. Thank you!!! :)

Well my period is late by 2 days ( it was due on the 10th Feb) and 3 days before my period is due, I started to had light spotting on and off for 4 days and today it's been more heavier but not heavy enough for a pad/tampon.. But it's lasted most of the day and it's light pinkish/ red! I have had unprotected sex with my Fiance at the same time I ovulated! Is it implantation or period? I'm so confused? Thanks to anybody with feedback :)x

When my bf and i had sex without a condom a few times and he'd pull out. Once he came inside me by accident and we thought he got me pregnant. We've been having sex for three weeks without a condom, and we usually do it four or five times a day. I've been experiencing many symptoms such as bases, heartburn, feeling tired more often, lower back pain that has gotton quite sore, urinating more frequently, nipples more sensitive, some pain on left side of stomach, feeling pregnant. I've been off birth control for about three months and we weeny trying to conceive but i feel pregnant and i received my period yesterday the 20. Is there a possibility I'm still pregnant?

If I had intercourse the day before ovulation day, 10/19, and have had light pink discharge a few days ago, and a lot more than usual vaginal secretions, sore breasts, and spotting but not a period on the 26th with little nausea.  I also started my new pack of pills 3 days after I was supposed to start them. Could I be pregnant? I missed some pills prior to my period and during my period and had sex on the 14th and had sex on the maximum fertility day and also on the 23rd. My period was supposed to be here on the 2nd and none yet. It's the 6th and I still haven't got it. I took a test on the 4th but was negative. I don't know what to make of this. Is this just me stressing out causing it to be late? Or me being paranoid? Please help!
