How are the cramp-like pains and the bleeding different from your normal periods?
Are you normally very regular, or irregular?
It sounds as though you might be having your period, even though it's a little different from usual. Just to be sure, however, you might buy a home pregnancy test. And yes, the small blood-colored objects are probably small clots of blood and endometrial tissue. They are normal, many women have them with their periods.
I have to agree with Virginia -- since you are having sex, please consider visiting your doctor and talking about birth control. The withdrawal method of birth control -- which is what you call pulling out -- has a 1 in 4 chance of pregnancy annually. That means that a fourth of all people using the withdrawal method get pregnant each year.
Do you need help finding a doctor or a community center where you can find information about birth control? If so, let us know what city you live in and see if we can find some information for you.
