Pregnant or medication change Posted: 04-16-08 07:08am
In fact, this question is really about
what it could actually be.
I'm 19, and still a virgin in the sense
that my hymen hasn't been broken. My
boyfriend and I simply fool around,
touching and stuff sometimes. And never
have we done that fully naked, I always
wear at least panties.
The thing is, I had my last period March
21, and I am usually regular with a full
cycle lasting 31 days. Now, 24 days later,
April 14, I started to get brown blood,
very little. I wasn't sure what it was,
but later that day, it turned to fresh and
red. Then back to brown in the evening
Well, the next day, I started to get a bit
heavier in bleeding, enough to make me
think I may be getting my period, but also
little enough to make my remember that I
usually get alot heavier periods. Also, my
periods are usually very painful with
extreme cramps and I just feel horrible.
This time, its only light cramps, I got a
slight back ache for a couple of hours,
and I feel fairly tired and under the
weather. Today, it's still going for now
(April 16). Still just kind of heavy, but
not as heavy as usual. Now, there are a
few things to make mention of: me and my
boyfriend were fooling around, as I stated
at the start, on March 27 (6 days after my
last period) and again a couple days after
that. Nothing intense, just fooling around
and touching. Also, this month was fairly
wierd for me because I got a fairly
serious cold on the 9th, a week ago, and
it lasted for a few days, keeping me in
bed the whole time. Also something to
mention is that starting a week ago, I
have been weening myself off of
antidepresant pills, taking one every two
days now instead of everyday.
I haven't the slightest clue what is
actually going on, because if it is my
period, it is very light, and along with
that, this month has been eventful, but
not really stressful. If anyone can help
me clear this up, it would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance, CautiousTeen

There is absolutely 0% chance of you being
pregnant. Pregnancy can only occur when
semen enters the vagina. Most likely,
your period is just lighter either due to
sickness, medication changes, stress, or
just because! Even if a woman's period is
normally like clockwork, it can often
change or be thrown off some months for no
real reason.

Thank you for the response. I wasn't
really that worried, because I know how
baby's are made >.<... but I know I
hear all the time people saying that they
heard of others getting pregnant from
touching each other, without any
penetration. But that seems so unlikely,
and also, being a virgin, it would seem
like the hymen provides some sort of
barricade.
Anyways, thanks for the answer, if anyone
else has anything to add, please go ahead,
as I would be glad to hear what people
might have to say.
Thank you very much, CautiousTeen

The hymen does not provide any protection
from pregnancy. It is just a bit of skin,
there is no way it could prevent a person
from becoming pregnant.
Unless sperm is being put into your
vagina, you are not at risk for pregnancy.

Ah okay, so perhaps I am not the most
versed in this subject But ya, we were
touching each other, yes, but there was no
direct contact of his sperm anywhere near
my vagina (on my belly was the closest).
To update, now today, it has gotten
heavier, to as heavy as it usually is
during my period. No pain though, although
how it usually works for me is, first day,
lots of pain, lots of blood, second day,
lots of blood, third day, less blood, then
done. So, I suppose this is day two, so I
shouldn't expect any pain. But that means
the first day was kind of off.
I am truly sorry if I seem silly for
asking questions about this. I know I am
not very experienced or anything, but I
still have this bad tendency to worry
about these kinds of things.
Thank you for all the support,
CautiousTeen
