Subject: i think i am preg.

Question
My boyfriend and I have had sex a few times. My period is always irregular though. But last week we has sex and right after I started to bleed its been two weeks and the bleeding hasn't stopped. I am eating more then usual and feel as if I am gaining weight. I don't know why I am spotting so much. Please help me, can I be pregnant? We don't use protection!!

Answer
Dear Jasmine,

The bleeding does not seem to be related to pregnancy.  It takes about 2 weeks after unprotected sex for the embryo to implant, and that is a likely cause of any spotting.  It's called "implantation bleeding".

You should call your doctor and find out what is causing this.   

I hope you are better soon.

Take care,

Deb
