Anon,

Let me be sure I have this correct.

Last month you would have started your period on the 11th, is that right? So that would be Day 1 of your cycle.
And you finished on the 16th, which would be Day 5?
You had unprotected sex on the 24/25, which would be Day 13/14
8 days before you expected your next period (So I'm thinking that's about Day 20? about a week after you had sex?) you started spotting
Day 20/21/22 spotting
Since then: cramping and more bleeding

Do I have that right? And you are still bleeding and cramping?

First, please know that it's not unusual for our hormones to change during a month and to cause havoc with our cycle. Especially if you're under a lot of stress or have had any changes in medication, amount of exercise, diet and so forth.

But if this has been a normal month for you, I would call the office of your healthcare provider and let them know what is happening. You had sex right around the time you would have been ovulating, if I had the time elements right, and it seems possible that you might have gotten pregnant but then it didn't implant or it miscarried, and your cycle was affected. There's just a small chance of that, but since your bleeding and your pain isn't going away, I would definitely recommend that you get it checked out. Will you do that for us?
