Question
I have a question pertaining to the abnormality of my period. I finished my last menstrual period Aug 10. This period was after my last pack of birth control as i decided to discontinue use. I had unprotected sex Aug 13, and took PlanB Aug 14,  approximately 12 hours after unprotected sex. On Aug 20 i had a 3 day 'period.' Mine usually last for 5 days and this period seemed very early. Could i be pregnant?

Answer
Hi Victoria,

I will not be able to diagnose your situation as I am not a medical doctor. Why did you decide to discontinue your birth control? If you are not taking birth control and have sex, what are your plans to prevent pregnancy? Plan B can be dangerous and I don't recommend it at all. Here is a link about Plan B. http://www.optionline.org/questions/the-morning-after-pill/

Please email me at CHERYL51@aol.com and we can talk more. I'm not sure if that is your period as you described. You might want to go to a pregnancy center and get a free test there. You can go to http://www.heartbeatservices.org and click on the globe in the upper right hand corner of the page. Contact that center and find out when you can get a free pregnancy test. Please let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
