Is my period two weeks early or is bleeding caused by implan Posted: 09-22-06 08:04am
I got my period on Sept. 3, on the 20th I
started bleeding again! I had been on
Augmentin and had been taking birth
control pills. I stopped taking the pills
around the 15th b/c I figured the
Augmentin had made the first week not work
anyway. Stupid to stop I know. During that
time, my boyfriend and I had unprotected
sex. Again, not the smartest thing to do.
My question is: could this really be my
period two weeks early or could it be
implantation? I have had slight nausea,
heartburn, breast tenderness but this
could just be menstral related. Please
help...

The bleeding you experienced on the 20th
of September might be caused by coming off
birth control pills on the 15th. Lack of
hormones (estrogen and progesterone)
causes endometrial bleeding. There is a
small chances that you arepregnant in this
case but you MUST take a pregnancy test to
confirm or exclude pregnancy. All the
symptoms you’ve mentioned are unspecific
and could mean anything.
