Q: 

I got my period again after 3 days of ending. Is this normal after having unprotected sex during my "first" period?

I had my period Feb 5,2010 (Friday) and had unprotected sex on Feb 6 (Saturday). He didn't cum inside of me so he'd always pull out and I took my emergency birth control pills right after we had sex. I ended my period on Feb 9 (Tuesday), then Friday (Feb 12) I got my period again. My second period lasted for about 5 days. I usually have a regular period, meaning I get my period after every 28 days. What could this mean? Is this because of the emergency birth control I took? Or is this a sign of pregnancy?

I went to the GYN and now I have to go for blood work and an ultra sound. No cysts (which normally occurs with me) and nothing out of the ordinary with a routine exam. My dr is thinking maybe it could be a thyroid problem since it runs in my family. I have to have these test fan this week and I will find out what the problem is.

Hello. Did you find out any reasons on why this happened to you? I am experiencing something similar.

I'm going through the same thing (for the second time) I think it's the emergency contraception that's causing the bleeding

You cant get pregnant while on your period so there is no need to take emergency bc. Youcan only get pregnant while youre ovulating. Which is one day but sperm can live for 5 days so if you had sex 5 days befor ovulation you can get pregnant and the day after your ovulation day. And emergancy bc pills can mess up your cycle and cause you to spot or start again. Hope that helps

You definitely can get pregnant on your period. If you have long lasting periods or a short cycle, you can get pregnant. It is uncommon though.
