Some women do experience some vaginal bleeding after they become pregnant, but the bleeding is generally not as heavy as a normal period. If there was sperm on your boyfriend’s penis when it touched your vagina, pregnancy is possible, but your risk is extremely low. Take a pregnancy test just to be sure. Use first morning urine for the best results.
If you are going to continue to have sexual contact, please use condoms from start to finish for all sex acts. If you are interested in trying a hormonal method of birth control and you live near one of our offices, please call us for an appointment. We can discuss your contraceptive options with you and help you choose one that best fits your lifestyle. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you.
Menstrual irregularities (including missed periods) can occur for a number of different reasons. Pregnancy is just one possibility. Irregular periods can be caused by hormonal imbalances, perimenopause, illness or infection, use of certain medications, and other more serious conditions. Women who are dieting or exercising excessively may also skip periods. In addition, increased stress levels and changes in routine may affect the regularity of menstrual cycles. If you have skipped more than one period and you are not using a progestin-only method of birth control, you should probably be evaluated by a medical professional to determine the cause.
