it might help put your mind at ease to go see your doctor. it could be anything from stress, to an infection, to pregnancy, to just a plain off cycle this time around.

well i dont live with alot of women . just two and there periods are way different than mine. i have had unprotected sex though last month around the time i would ovulate. my period usually is way differant than this. it is uaually heavy from beginning to the end. this is more like it is on and off it goes away and come back later. my period dont ever do that. this is sometimes red but right now it is more like orange and pink its weird. i have never had this before.

hmmm, it could be anything really? are you living with any women? when i was in college, my period would change a lot because i was living with a bunch of women and research shows that your periods can actually change to sync with other women you spend a lot of time with. when that happens, it makes things kind of wacky.

if you had unprotected sex, there's always the possiblity that you're pregnant, but i would say if the bleeding gets heavy, then probably not. if the bleeding is a lot lighter than usual, maybe wait until you normally would get your period this month and if it doesn't come, take a home pregnancy test.

either way, good luck! keep us posted!
