I'm 18 years old and I think i'm in trouble my last period was about first week of april I think the 6th was first day it ended about 10th and I had sex on my boyfriend b-day the 18 we forgot to use a condom and i'm not under any birth control at all. My periods are pretty normal give or take a few days but now i,m seem to be spotting which I expected to turn into a period it has not its just faint brown stuff and maybe a little red I told my cousin because I have never had this happen and she told me that when she was pregnant she had the same thing only it was implantation bleeding i'm not sure what that is? And my boyreind and I just broke up and I dont want to freak him out he,'s grounded and may not graduate from high school and I just got into 3 colleges and am trying to make a decision on which to go to and ever sice my cousin said this yesterday i've been going crazy. Should I take a pregnancy test? She said to go to the doctor but I dont want to tell my parents unless I am. I thought it might be weight loss but that was barley 5 pounds and I have dropped more with no period problems. I have funny cramp and feel sick and my boobs feel little werid. I'm scared .

: implantation happens when the fertilized egg (now called a blastocyst) has completed its travel through the fallopian tube and attaches to the lining of the uterus. The blastocyst is a cluster of tiny cells, smaller than the head of a pin.
Implantation happens on average nine days (6-12 days) after ovulation and fertilization.
Most women have no symptoms on the day of implantation but some report a couple of drops of blood, which can be either red or brown or they have mild cramps. This is also called 'implantation bleeding or cramping.'
that bleeding is usually no more than a couple of drops. If it's like a period, then it's unlikely implantation bleeding.
But most women who become pregnant do not experience typical implantation bleeding, and many women who are not pregnant experience some spotting.

And yes take a test to make sure

That throws me off even more because before I had sex I had some spotting two days before I had sex and I usually spot 10 days about after my period mid mounth and this is nothing like any period I have ever had.Plus a lot later and only a few drops its pretty much stopped now and I only had it for 3-4 days it was not enought o use a tampon.
