Light Period And Spotting -- Could I Be Pregnant? Posted: 02-05-06 13:21pm
I have been consulting posts and other
things online but now the situation is
getting so complicated that I feel like I
have to post my own thread ...
So basically I have been having
(unprotected) sex with my boyfriend for
about two months now. Now, recently we
thought I might be pregnant, so I took the
morning after pill, within 72 hours of the
first time we had had unprotected sex
since my last period. Apparently this is
60% effective (since it was so late since
the possible impregnation). Then, maybe
a week later, I got my period. However,
although it seemed pretty usual at first,
it tapered off almost immediately, like
within 12-24 hours, until it was basically
just spotting for the last 3 days. It
"ended" two days ago. Then yesterday I
decided to take another pregnancy test,
and it was negative; however, the second
window (the one with the pregnancy line,
not the control) turned pinkish, but not
like a line, the whole window took on a
pinkish hue, almost immediately. Then
today I got brownish spotting ...
... So my question is, is it possible I
am pregnant? Since I "had" my period,
shouldn't a test be pretty effective at
this point? Should I take another test
or does it seem like it's probably fine
... (i don't know, maybe the weird period
is because of the morning after pill?)?
