My name is kezia, I had sex with my now ex
boyfriend around april 22. We did not
use protection. I wasn't worried about
being pregnant until a few days ago. I
am not on birth control and I ususal start
my period between the 2-6 of the month .
This month I didn't have any kind of
period until around may 12 and it wasn't a
normal period. I barely bleed at all,
it wasn't even enough to wear a tampon,
just a light pad. I know this sounds
nasty but it wasnt normal period blood, it
seemed to be darker and a brown color
instead of red. I bleed barely like
that for only about 3 days and it quit.
Should I be worried? Please help

When was your period in april?
Saying you usually start your period
btween the 2-6 each month is really
inaccurate.
You see day 1 of your cycle is the first
day that you bleed.
(the number of days you bleed is likely to
vary).
Therefore if you had a 28 day cycle you
would have 13 periods in a year.
As an example of a 28 day cycle lets say
your period began on 1 march - you would
get 2 periods in march because
your next one would be on the 29 march.
It sounds like you just had a light period
but I would advise taking a test just to
know for sure and to put your mind at
rest.

Anytime now.
You need to wait until 10-14 days after
when you would have conceived (so
technically when your period is late). As
you had a light period you have already
passed that time and so can test
anytime.
However, preferrably use the first urine
of the morning (tends to be stronger) or
wait at least 4 hours before going to the
loo and don't drink loads to make you wee
as this will dilute the urine.
Follow the instructions in the pack to the
letter.
Note: negative tests often turn out to
look positive if you go back to htem
several hours later. This is why you
should read the result after (usually) 3-5
mins.
They look positive after time because the
dye leaks/evaporates into the test strip.
