Hey
I know I've already posted this on the Sex board so please don't shout at me for double posting.
My first period since losing my virginity has been mega light. It was bang on time, but it's so light and on-off that it's almost not there. I've never had unprotected sex but I guess there is a chance that some sperm could have found it's way to that area somehow (fingering, etc).
On the other hand, I've been so paranoid and stressed about getting pregnant ever since having sex- could this stressing have affected my period? Also I was ill last week, with a temperature and headache, which could have affected it, right?
I don't know if I should be seriously worried or if I'm just trying to talk myself into believing that I can't be pregnant. My period isn't absent, it's just abnormal for me but I have got slight period cramps, even though my period is barely even there.
I don't know what to think and it's Sunday so I can't do anything but wait until tomorrow and then go and get a pregnancy test to make sure.
God, I'm so stressed. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks

The reason I don't think it's my pill is because I've never taken it before. The nurse at the Brook Clinic told me to start taking it on the first day of my next period (i.e. this weird one). But I wasn't sure even whether I should start taking it cos my period was so strange I wasn't even sure it was my true period. So this weirdness had occurred even before I'd ever taken a pill.
I'm hoping it's just the stress of being paranoid about getting pregnant and/or being ill.
Anyway, thanks for you help
refer to my answer in sex.
Anyway, no worries, I'm not pregnant, everything is sorted.
Thanks to everyone who gave helpful advice
:rolleyes:
