Q: 

Could I be pregnant?

I lost my virginity 8 days ago, sex was unprotected and he cummed in me 4 times. He was on top most of the time, we did doggy and it was hardcore. I was on my period, but it was towards the end of my cycle; I was bleeding during intercourse (it was my period not my virginity because I broke that when being fingered. Within 3 hours I had taken the morning after pill. The next day I bled a little dark, red thick blood and I didn't bleed after that. Since then I have felt extremely bloated and gassy, I even hear my stomach grumbelling. I wanted to take a pregnancy test but was told it wouldn't be accurate because I'm 3 weeks away from my period. Could I be pregnant? Please help, I'm really scared!

My period is due at the end of the month so not anytime soon. Discharge as in sticky mucus, plus just brown staining in my knickers. I'm also starting to get cramps in my lower stomach

Sorry, I meant the above to say:

Brown discharge that isn't your period? It might be--if you're expecting your period around this time. Our periods aren't always red, the color varies. You're not bleeding, you're shedding the lining of your uterus and that can be from bright red to reddish-brown, and if you're expecting your period--this might be it.

What do you mean by discharge? Is it sticky (like mucous a few days before your period?)

Brown discharge that isn't your period. Sometimes our periods aren't red because it's not blood--it's the uterus lining. Are you due for your period?

Someone reply please because I'm getting really worried seen as I've have brown discharge for a couple of days now and there is still no sign of my period.

Could it be spotting?

Hi Zee,

The dark brown should be the start of your period. Usually, the dark brown color is the shedding of your uterus of any leftover blood and then comes your regular period (red color). You should see one any day now. Keep us posted.

Hey Elena, I hope you're well.

I went to the toilet yesterday and found a dark red stain in my knickers, at first I thought it was my period but I haven't seem to come on yet- what could it be?

Hey Zee (I was the previous anonymous commenter).
Cramping in the lower sides of your stomach can mean ANYTHING. Believe me, I did A TON of googling and it seemed that everything that I had was a symptom of pregnancy: frequent urination, discharge, tender breasts, weird smells.
SEVERE cramping can mean that an egg was fertilized in the fallopian tube. This is called an ectopic pregnancy and if this were happening to you--you would know it--it's an unbearable pain and the embryo never survives. Cramping in your lower sides can also just be trapped gas...
Its easy to mistake everyday things with pregnancy symptoms and don't freak out if you DO get things like breast tenderness, because that's common with your period as well. It's going to be a loooong 3 weeks as I said before, but you'll get through it. You took Plan B, now you just have to wait. Message me if you need some more support. Whatever happens, you will get through it. Promise.
