Question
Today is April 13,2009. I'm 18. My last cycle was on March 13 and lasted a full week. My periods have always been on time and they get very painful and are regular and also appear as a dark red with some clotting. A little over a week ago, my boyfriend and i had unprotected sex and he ejaculated inside of me. I am not on any birth control pills or shots, i use NOTHING. Within the past few days i have been experiencing the following symptoms; nausea in the mornings about 4AM to 6AM (but not every day), lower back pain, abdominal pain, headaches, feel bloated, and yesterday i started craving foods (which i never have done before)and now today; i went to pee and when i wiped there was very light blood but then i stopped. I'm just curious, is it possible that I'm pregnant? i have no kids, so this is all new to me.

Answer
Hi Jessica
  The bleeding could be related to your period getting ready to start, or pregnancy. If you do not contiue bleeding you need to take a pregnancy test because it is very likely you are pregnant. The symptoms are there, but it could just be your imagination. Take A test and it will be confirmed. Take Care
