123221,

I noticed that another EmpowHer guide was able to answer this question at this discussion thread: Can I Be Pregnant; Please Help Me.

I wanted to let you know that menstrual bleeding is not an indicator of a viable pregnancy. A sign of pregnancy is actually the absence of bleeding, so as Diane said...your abnormal periods are caused by something else.

Since you have had three periods in one month, this is considered "abnormal bleeding" which is common for many women, but does need to be checked out by your gynecologist or family doctor. Since you are 17 years old, your family doctor can refer you to a specialist (a gynecologist) to perform an exam to make sure everything is working okay.

Let us know if you need any help with finding a doctor, or if you would like more information at what to expect at the doctor's office!

Also..going to the gynecologist is helpful, since you are having unprotected sex with your boyfriend and absolutely do not want to be pregnant...your doctor can talk with you about your options to have protected sex, so you won't worry about your chances of pregnancy in the future. That would be a relief, right?!

It is normal to have irregular cycles, and can be caused by many different factors: excess stress, different medication, etc.

- Are you currently on any type of hormonal birth control (like "the pill"?)
- Do you have a gynecologist?
- Are you sexually active?
- How long did each period last, and were they both similar to a typical period for you (as far as how "heavy" or "light", length of time they lasted, any premenstrual symptoms, etc).

Lokita,

Implantation bleeding is typically different from a period. It is usually described more as "spotting", and would not last 3-4 days. Was your second period of the month heavier bleeding, similar to your regular menstruation?

How long are your cycles on a typical month, or are they irregular?
When were you expecting your next period?

I'm asking, because if your last menstrual period (LMP) was May 27th, and you would describe it as a regular/typical menstrual cycle, then your next period would not be "due" until June 23rd-ish. You may not be "late" for your period, if this is the case. I wish I could give you more definite answers, but we're speculating, and the best way to know is to go to the doctor.

Do you have a gynecologist that you are seeing yet? If not, this may be a great time to tell someone you trust in your family that you need to go to the doctor, as your cycles are irregular. You should start seeing a gynecologist when you become sexually active, and s/he can talk with you about your birth control options, as well as emergency contraception. ("EC" can be taken within 72+ hours after unprotected sex, or after a condom breaks, to help prevent pregnancy). You can read more about "EC" at Planned Parenthood site here.

The gynecologist will keep all of your information private (it's the law), but some tests may show up on your parent's medical bill...you can ask a nurse or the doctor about this. (They are asked this frequently!!).

How do you feel about going to the gynecologist?

Hi lokita,

Thank you for your question. Many times our periods will shift schedules and there are times you may have periods that are off schedule and your body shifts into another schedule. There is a link below that you may find helpful.

You said that you are having unprotected sex. Have you thought about contraception or condom use to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)? Are you trying to have children? Is this a planned event?

hello miscortes,

thank you for replying so quickly. I usually use condoms everytime i have sex with my boyfriend, but we wanted to try something new. im not trying to have children at this moment i would like to wait until im at least in my 20s. so if i am pregnant it would be a big shocker to everyone in the family. i did some research about common pregnancy symtoms and i read an article about how sometimes you can bleed during implantation. and since i had a short second period i was thinking maybe that was what it was, but maybe im just over reacting.
