I've read so many things and I'm so confused. I had protected sex with my boyfriend and the condom didn't leak or anything. It's been a few weeks and my period is late by 3 days and I got kinda worries is there a chance I'm pregnant? But around 1 in the morning I went to the bathroom and It was like my period start so I used a pad and went back to bed when I woke up there was nothing it was completely dry like nothing happened so I went to the bathroom again and when I wiped it came out Brown? Is this a bad Thing? I still haven't bled onto a pad only when I wipe. I feel like I have light cramps. And I've read that It could be implantation bleeding or spotting but it's way to dark. But I've also started to think I haven't gotten up and been out and about much I've just been in bed a lot could that be a reason that it's like This?

Hello Tex2212

Thank you for writing.

Brown blood could be old blood - sometimes this happens at the beginning or end of periods. There is no need to think you are pregnant if you had protected sex. It sounds like your period is coming on. As always, we recommend our readers take a test if they have concerns.
Best,
Susan
