It's all really confusing, isn't it? Sometimes our cycles just plain have minds of their own. Even when we keep track of things on calendars and in our heads, sometimes our bodies have other notions and our hormones get a little out of sorts.
Let me put this in the right order, to see if I have this right:
On April 27, you had sex.
On May 6, you had sex.
On May 11th you had a period, for a week.
On May 23rd or 24th, you had another period, for 3 days.
Now you feel like you're late again.
Is that right? Do I have things in the proper order?
If so, it would be my thinking that no, you're not pregnant. You've had two periods since you last had sex. I would guess that the reason you're late and having symptoms (which can also be PMS symptoms) is that your hormones got a little off and now they're getting themselves back on schedule. The fact that you had a full period on May 11th and have not had unprotected sex since then seems to go against any possibility that you could be pregnant. You can always take a home pregnancy test just to put your mind at ease, but it would be my guess that your next period will come in the next week or two -- that in essence, your cycle "started over" with the short period on May 23/24.
Does this help a little? Do you still have questions?
