Is It My Period Or Vaginal Bleeding?
Posted: 10-21-03 00:07am

My boyfriend and I always used a condom when having sex, except for one time. He is not sure if he came while inside me or not. That happened about 2 days before I was supposed to start my period. I ended up starting my period a week late. My period then was somewhat abnormal. I did not bleed as much as normal, but there were still cramps. What are the chances of it not being my period, and it being a case of vaginal bleeding that occurs during some pregnancies Question

Hi, to answer your question about bleeding during a pregnancy, yes some women do bleed right up until the 3rd month of pregnancy. Most women release an egg approximately 14 days before their period. You said you had sex 2 days before your period was due, but your period didn't actually start for another week after that, so the day you had sex was 9 days before your period, so it is unlikely that you are pregnant but you should never dismiss the possibility that you could be. Every woman ovulates at different times. Basically if you have unprotected sex, consider yourself at risk of falling pregnant. You sound as though you have been responsible and used protection every other time previous to this one mistake. Hey we all make mistakes. Maybe you could ask your doctor for a presciption for the birth control pill.

Good luck in the future...
